Title: April Fools Pranks on the Web
Post by: The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers on April 01, 2005, 09:57:44 AM

You guys can, but I'm not going to do any "switching" comics.

Little Gamers (http://www.little-gamers.com) did the most amusing thing they've done recently though (which wasn't hard, considering).
It's not a prank, but Penny Arcade (http://www.penny-arcade.com) did a funny april fools related comic. edit: forgot the standard PA warning about language and violence.
