Collusion by Comic Writers -- 9/14/05

Non Sequitur from 9/14/05
Pearls Before Swine from 9/14/05

As should readily be apparent (as long as the photos are available), the authors have used the same joke on the same day, to wit: birds being denied bail because they pose a flight risk.

While I grant that the joke itself is funny, I think the authors must have the same Far Side calendar or something which triggered the same thought processes which resulted in the same joke being published on the same day (obviously filtered through the mind of the artist).

Maybe it's just oddly coincidental.
