April Fools On The Comics Page (1 Viewer)

[Craig S]

Cartoonists Bill Amend ("Foxtrot"), Darby Conley ("Get Fuzzy"), and Stephan Pastis ("Pearls Before Swine") appear to have collaborated on a little April Fools' gag on their readers:

Foxtrot

Get Fuzzy

Pearls Before Swine

Note - if you're seeing this after April 1, you'll have to navigate to the 4/1/2005 strips on the various pages.

lol, thats funny.

I think the best AF joke was when the cartoonests switched strips, so you had Bill Amend doing Family Circus, etc. That was hilarious!

So is this the official annual AF thread? Well here we go:

Infinite Gmail storage
New Google drink
Apple iPotty
And a buncha stuff on Slashdot

We get Get Fuzzy and Foxtrot in the local paper, and fortunately for us these ran correctly on 1 April as well.

The Times Online ran an article suggesting the English Premiership was considering NFL-style playoffs, splitting into different "conferences" etc. Suffice to say for die-hard football (played with feet, not the "handball" you lot play) fans, it was a horrifying thought...

That's not entirely a joke. If you check on Gmail.com there actually is a counter that slowly is increasing the limit. If you sign in, you can see that currently ther limit is at 2054MB

Geeks.com was selling a Round LCD computer monitor. If you clicked on the link, it came up and said April Fools. It was really well done with a lot of the details covered and everything.
