Back on April Foolâs Day in 1997, many cartoonists did other comic strips (Dilbertâs Scott Adams did âThe Family Circus,â while the late Bill Keane of âThe Family Circusâ did "Dilbert.) Heck, Kevin Fagen of âDrabbleâ drew his strip with his left hand on 4/1/1997! I still have those Seattle newspapers these were in because I donât mind seeing a comic strip drawn in a different way, just like a DC or Marvel comic book every now and then.

note Rat and Pig on lampshade. Pastis?

Looks more like Bill Wattersonâs style (Calvin and Hobbs)
Heidi Laakso over 10 years ago
A reference to both, actually. âPearls Before Swineâ recently featured Watterson as a guest artist.

And Royâs wearing Smurf shoes.

We are each the artists of our own life, and, sometimes, we have guest artists or are the guest artists of others.

Yes, Sergio is still around, and still busy.

Nice homage.

The concept has been around for awhile. Years ago, a number of cartoonists traded strips for April Foolâs Day. Shame it didnât become a tradition.

And I believe the Pastis/Watterson guest appearance was initially Wattersonâs idea.

The repartee between Roy and Kathy could be the beginning of a deep philosophical discussion.

I donât recall how many times, but it seems like it ought to be every year. Nobodyâs asked to switch with John and me yet.

imagine if working daze was drawn by jack kirby or frank miller, or alan moore?

Is it a Guess the style day? I go with Jef Mallet, since he and Pastis like to mess with each other, the Lampshade would be a great little dig.

The lamp sports a W on the globe and Pastisâs characters on the shade. Collaboration?
