Fans of both cartoonists have come out to show their support, and speculate on the outcome of the inevitable fracas.
@stephanpastis @billamend My $ is on Stephan. He has 7 days a week to trot on Bill. Gentlemen, choose your crayons!

@stephanpastis @billamend this is going to be just like a battle in space. Shots fired two months apart.

Although we don't play favorites at GoComics, we think we know which comic strip Jason Fox was referring to. The newest FoxTrot book, Some Clever Title: A FoxTrot Collection Blah Blah Blah, is available everywhere TOMORROW!
Although it's the same Fox family we know and love, Bill Amend manages to make each FoxTrot entry funny and fresh. With a blend of humor and truth, FoxTrot reminds us that while a family might seem normal on the outside, there could be a perpetually hungry pet iguana on the inside.
In the interest of fairness, Stephan Pastis DOES have a newPearls Before Swinebookon its way. I'm Only in This for Me: A Pearls Before Swine Collectionis available everywhere May 3.
We can't wait to see how Pastis responds. Be sure to follow the excitement on social media!
In the meantime, order Some Clever Title here!
