So, is there some sort of feud between Darby Conley and Stephen Patis, is this a shamless marketing plug by Mr. Conley, or is he just poking fun of Mr. Patis's character-borrowing tendancies?

The relevant bits start here (http://www.comics.com/comics/getfuzzy/archive/getfuzzy-20060417.html) and continue through the week. Evidence can be found in this (http://www.comics.com/comics/pearls/archive/pearls-20060320.html) week of comics and this (http://www.comics.com/comics/pearls/archive/pearls-20060410.html) week.

I don't know, but it's not all that funny either.

You mean Stephan Pastis?

In which Mr. Pastis alternately claims that-

a) he's never read/heard of Get Fuzzy
b) he once beat up Darby Conley
c) Get Fuzzy is the best strip in America
d) Darby Conley actually draws all the bad Pearls Before Swine strips
e) Get Fuzzy was originally Stephan's idea, and he's suing.

I suspect that they're both in on the joke.
