Transcript:
Hi: Honey, this is my friend, Juanita. We spend time together. Also, I may have picked up a disease. Pastis: Not the right tone? Brian Walker: Not really. Note: 'Hi and Lois co-creator Brian Walker recently called Stephan Pastis and asked if he'd like to guest-write a 'Hi and Lois' strip. Stephan has agreed.* Hi: Honey, this is my friend Juanita, we spend time together. Also, I may have picked up a disease. Pastis: Not the right tone? Voice on phone: Not really.

You’re not only guest-writing with Brian Walker, you’re also guest-writing with everyone else that guest-wrote with him. Remember, people, practice safe guest-writing. Use a pseudonym.

Not funny at all. Not even by 0.001%.

I have been awaiting this admission – good jog getting it, Steph!

I suspect this one might offend some of our more sensitive readers, particularly those who don’t like toilet humour, or smut. I loved it.

H & L is too often…..overly gooey. I suspect Pastis could enhance the readership if he guest-wrote their actual strip for a while….or not.

My! Pigita has changed!

…and Hi & Lois have now moved into the 21st Century.

LOL, I laughed

After working with Watterson, Pastis is hoping to make a career of guesting. With luck, he’ll find his match. (I suggest contacting Jim Davis again, and try to fix those broken bridges. Davis would pull in the BIG bucks.)

I don’t find this objectionable……….just stupid. Pastis is acting rather erratic lately if it is acting.

So is this Steph’s part in the internet slow down, because everything came to a halt just now.

Just don’t touch Trixie and her sunbeam!

Ok I am the complete lamoid I don’t get it. I know there is typical Pastis puns in there but I cannot figure out the association.

I like when for April Fool’s Day the cartoonists would draw each others strips. It was always neat to see a new perspective.
felinefan55 Premium Member about 10 years ago
Meanwhile Stephan drew Lois perfectly. Hi is a bit off though.

Now I want Steph to guest-write a cartoon for “Ripley’s” and for “Garfield”!As for “Krazy Kat”, he’ll have a hard time getting Herriman’s permission!

Nice one … I can see why your younger readers are upset!
Darryl Heine about 10 years ago
Maybe Pastis could next guest write “Blondie”.

Not with that green striped shirt for sure.Not the right one.

This is hilarious. I laughed our loud. A lot of the comics are funny, but very few get a reaction from me like this.

Notice the ‘*’. Between panels 1 & 2 it says “This is not true. Stephan is lying.”

Well, THAT made absolutely no sense at all.
Loved today’s strip, BTW.

What else should we expect from a character named Hi?
gmu328 about 10 years ago
it is pretty good … just about what I expected and funny … guess his rivalry with Family Circus is subsiding

What can I say. I laughed until I stopped.

Is that Juanita from the diner? Barney Fife will be jealous.

I’m not familiar with “Hi and Lois” but I loved today’s strip!

This is the perfect way to get people to stop giving you extra work!
MeGoNow Premium Member about 10 years ago
Could have been much worse. I was expecting Pastis to have Hi leave Trixie locked in the car with Mr. Sunbeam.

Do you take request? Do “Family Circus”! If you did already, do “A Rose is a Rose”!
Neoprene Wedgie Premium Member about 10 years ago
According to Wikipedia, “Hi” is short for “Hiram” in the comic and Lois is Beetle Bailey’s brother. Never knew.
Sherlock Watson about 10 years ago
I’d love to see Goat get it on with Blondie … or one of the Crocs, maybe.:Goat getting it on with one of the crocs? Unless It’s Larry’s wife, I’d rather not see that.

Hi-larious, Cartoon-Boy! I am surprised at the 21st century prudery evinced by your decidedly non-explicit strip (though with a heavy dose—of implication, of course)….
Tandembuzz about 10 years ago
Hi and Lois was co-created by MORT Walker. Brian is carrying on the family business by co-producing strips now with Dik Browne’s son Chance.

The National Cartoonists Society has forged some pretty tight bonds – Both sides are having a good laugh, guaranteed.
