Transcript:
Pig: Hey, Steph. Whatcha doing? Pastis: Richard Thompson asked if I'd do him a favor and draw his Sunday strip for him this week. Pig: Is he the "Cul de Sac" guy? Pastis: Yeah. He's pretty darn good, too. Look at his stuff. Pig: Ooooh. Rat: And you think you can imitate him? Pastis: Oh, yeah. It's sort of a sketchy style, but part of being a professional cartoonist is being able to work in any style. Rat: Let's see what you've got. Pig: I don't think he'll ask you for any more favors, Steph. Rat: Lemme guess... you drew it with your nose.

today’s cul de sac looks quite odd- just joking!! Oh, I have 5 broken legs, two broken arms… April fools!! Love this strip.

I’ll generously assume that Stephan did both of the background black-and-white Cul de Sacs. On the other hand, if not, “don’t call us, we’ll call you!” ☛☏☚

I think both R.T. and S.P. are trying mess with our minds. In my case they’re about ██ █████ too late.

I can see why Richard rushed back to work. Those of us who don’t think the world of Pastis thank you.

You can make out the characters! That’s a plus!I was looking forward seeing this Pastis strip. I like the direction he went with it.

I would love to see the super-comic-paloosa? Where in the 70’s all the comics switched with others. Were quite a few I guess.

It’s funny, but I KNOW he could’ve drawn better than THAT…

I was prepared not to like it, but I did! Thank you Mr. Pastis.

I love when the comic writers mess with each other, great strip today which ever of you are responsible!

Y’know what’s kinda sad? Pastis has had Alice appear in his own strip before, and I feel like he coulda done something really cool with this. Instead, he chose to just draw a PBS strip. Very disappointed.

When I saw this in the comics section of my newspaper, I thought they’d printed Pearls twice.
