Hey, it’s the Comics Curmudgeon Spring Fundraiser — thank you for your generousity!
For April Fools’ Day 1997, comic strip writers and artists famously crossed over without their editors’ knowledge to do one another’s strips. Here, check it out. Of course fourteen years on, comics cabals aren’t what they used to be — but let’s see what they’ve got:
Barney Google and Snuffy Smith, 3/9/11
Premiering the new hybrid puzzle and kids’ comic, The Jumble: Origins.
Gil Thorp, 3/9/11
Mary Worth‘s Wilbur Weston reads Gil Thorp: “Something something girls something
Mother Goose and Grimm, 3/9/11
They isk a tide in th’ affairsk of mens,
Which, takink at th’ flood, leads on t’ fourchins;
Omitked, all th’ voya guv their lifes
Isk bound in shallowsk and in miseriesiz!
Funky Winkerbean, 3/9/11
C-list Funky Winkerbean character (how’s that for suicide juice?) and comic author Mopey Pete battles a pair of Tin Age D.C. Comics villains through an anxious night. Hey, Mopes, I know Chien‘s out of the picture, but why not give Dawn a Tweet? I bet she’s still awake!
Blondie, 3/9/11
OK, Mother Goose and and Grimmy the dog … come from FAR AWAY because … um … it’s a different comic and … um … nursery rhymes and … what, maybe Shrek? … DAMMIT BLONDIE CAN I GET A LITTLE HELP HERE?
