Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for March 22, 2021

He’s at a bar in Miami Beach.

Today’s background music: “Comfortably Numb” by Pink Floyd.

yeah, sitting cross-legged for long periods can be pretty painful

He gave you the best advice: follow his wisdom.

I think Pig already knew that.

I didn’t get the joke, can someone tell me what it was?

I think you got your answer, Pig.

What cha waiting for, Pig? He left the advice for you in his message.

I know the feeling of getting to the place you just need to escape for a bit. Maybe he really is a Wise Ass or maybe it was just St Patrick’s Day…

1776: We’ll risk our lives to preserve our freedom. 2021: We’ll give up our freedoms to preserve our health (by dying).

Out invoking helpful spirits.

Perhaps some sour mash?

Just be glad that the wise ass is living on the hill and not on the Mt. Everest

Like the song said "It’s 5 O’clock somewhere …..

I wonder if Wise Ass knows Rat’s song from last Friday.

I don’t know… He left a great suggestion…

He ain’t gonna be no help, anyways.

Even the wise ass on the hill can’t take whats going on in today’s society.

It’s his way of saying he is drinking to numb the pain caused by people who don’t get Stephan’s humor.

The Wise Ass On The Hill is off celebrating his 90th Birthday today,

Not a good sign.

I love the fact that Pastis gets “Wise Ass” past the censor just by making him a donkey.

Sounds like Rat

Why does the ‘hill’ today look like Bandini Mountain?

Looks like Wise Ass took a page out of Rat’s book.

And that’s a hill of, umm, I don’t want to say in a family forum.

When I get stressed, I just hang out with my friends Jack and Jim.

The “hill” was drawn to resemble a huge pile of manure. Coincidence?

PLAN-B, the beer depot.

I beg to differ Pig. That’s very helpful advice!

Sounded helpful to me!

Obviously, he read yesterday’s strip. :)

The Wise Ass can’t help you if you’re not willing to heed his advice, Pig. Rat would!…
