This last week, the comic strip Pearls Before Swine had a story arc involving Rat as an uncaring concierge. Incidentally, I love Stephan Pastis' imaginative names for his characters: a rat - Rat; a goat - Goat; a pig - Pig; a zebra - Zebra; a duck wearing a flak helmet carrying a bazooka - Guard Duck. Simple, easy to remember, minimalist. Love it! Anyway, Sally Forth, a staple for any comics page, had the eponymous character on a business trip with her husband. So, on the same day, we had these two strips in the same comics section of the LA Times, which I'm sure was repeated on many newspapers across the nation. Collusion? Coincidence? It doesn't matter. Either way made for comedy gold!
