Comics sure suck these days.....days.

Indeed they do. In most cases the images have little or nothing to do with the words and certainly are ignored as enhancements to the text.

Happy April 1. Look at the date of the comics. Was that the point of this thread?

Your comment reminds me of Calvin telling Hobbes how his Grandpa doesn't like the comics anymore because its just the same picture with different dialogue in each frame. Wish I could find it but Google is showing now love.

Here's a previous April Fool's stunt.

I know this has something to do with Laura K. Pahl.

I hope someone will collect all these. one.louder.ash!'s link is great, though the Dilbert by Bil Keane seems to have been replaced with a square of your grandma's wallpaper. Google images has an unreadable thumbnail of it, Yahoo can't find it at all. That's probably the one I'd most like to see.

This what you're looking for? It comes up fine for me.

Thanks o.l.a; Safari got very confused, apparently. Clearing the cache did it.

Hmmm...an anomaly in the matrix.

For whatever reason, "Get Fuzzy" seemed the most likable of the bunch. I think it's the cat.

I like Get Fuzzy and Pearls. Excellent strips. I wish they'd gotten more comics involved in their little 'conspiracy'.

Anyone notice that Schlock Mercenary and PVP had nearly identical punchlines on April 2nd?

Can I call this a Double?

The funniest thing I find in all of these is that Bill Keane is somehow insecure enough to put his real strip's name under his own.

wendell; a friend pointed it out to me during lunch, I didn't read the comments in that FPP.
