The Fool's Gift

It is, of course, not true. But even the one strip published to make the joke is awesome. This is how you win April Fool's Day:

  1. that is a thing of wonder.

    I vastly prefer these kinds of gags to the things like buttered doorknobs or gags designed to "take the mick out of" a person (I guard what shreds of dignity I have as jealously as a cat. Well, a cat that isn't Bill, I guess)
