Has anyone notcied this week’s strips??? Lordy! Good stuff!
First read Get Fuzzy from 4/17, then Pearls Before Swine 4/18, then Get Fuzzy 4/18. I’m sure the effect is even more funny on the actual funny page if you get both strips (which I don’t)
The Toronto Sun doesn’t carry PBS, and I missed yesterday’s GF, so I had NO idea what was going on in GF (except that it was a PBS crossover, and it was kind of amusing) until I went online, read today’s PBS and found yesterday’s GF.
I noticed the crossover thing and I thought it was funny because they never used to do this in the newspapers, but it happens all the time in the online comics.
I’m sorry but I can’t believe anyone thinks this is funny. I saw that cartoon yesterday and thought “damn, Get Fuzzy is really starting to suck now!” The interminable “Boogy/Booger/etc” joke was horrid, and now this. I despise Pearls Before Swine. It is the stupidest strip ever and NEVER funny. Get Fuzzy used to be good. I get the feeling the writer has run out of ideas and is just phoning it in now.
I think Conley and Pastis are friends in real life, or at least know each other (many cartoonists stick together)- last year, they collaborated on an April Fools joke along with Foxtrot’s Bill Amend in which the same basic gag was used in all three strips.
