Foolish Boy

I was expecting more April Fools Day-related strips - but only "Peanuts", "Dennis The Menace" and "Mutts" obliged. Though Peek-A-Boo's encounter with a jar of horseradish in "Rose Is Rose" could qualify (did they leave the jar there on purpose?), and what a scream! "Baldo" could also qualify with its ongoing customer service tech clown plotline ("No! Wait! I mean...espera!" - classic).

We had another case of juxtapocomicing (where two or more strips adjacent to each other share subject matter) - "Hi and Lois" and "Hagar The Horrible" both dealt with the decision to get married. One involved drinking, the other one, winking. Sometimes the comics move in mysterious ways.
