    Goat’s expression in the second panel is more reminiscent of Pig.

    I just read on Tweeter that the president has decided to just declare that we’ve won the war against the novel Coronavirus and go back to business as usual.

    April fool !

    April fool?

    Ah. I guess it’s really not funny.

    Since Rat is by himself, it should be “April fool”.

    Foolishness seems to be part of the new normal; did you know that the word “gullible” isn’t even listed in the current edition of Webster’s Dictionary?

    I wonder how this joke would go over with the “Foxtrot” kids. They’re uber-nerds.;-D

    Instead I would guess that after the tremendous success with tariffs, our nation’s most stablest financial genius will start printing money to pay for the trillions of relief funds – Hello Weimar.

    That’s actually pretty good. I think I’ll use it. My usual April Fool’s pranks are likely to fall flat otherwise. Nobody seems to be in the mood.

    People say “April Fool” when they fool one person, or rat.

    After panel two, rat should be saying, “April Fool, yourself! I actually did hear.”

    Pastis was quoted as saying, “I can no longer handle the huge sums of money I receive for drawing PBS. I hope my fans will understand.”

    New Game just out; Find the Presidential “April Fool” prank:

    Donald J. Trump, Feb. 26, 2020: “[W]hen you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero, that’s a pretty good job we’ve done.”

    Donald J. Trump, Mar. 31, 2020: " I knew everything. I knew it could be horrible, and I knew it could maybe be good."

    When my son still lived at home (many years ago) he planned an April fool’s day prank a year ahead of time. He saved a few April 1st newspapers from one year and placed them in the newspaper box across the street a year later.

    You might regret that, Goat. Economists tend to have a ready supply of aphorisms on hand for any demanding occasion.

    On a more somber note, observe the rare occurrence (if ever!) of goat demonstrating he does have a mouth.

    Goat’s joke is better suited for April Motley Fool.
