Was there a meeting the other strips didn't know about?

Okay besides being the longest post title ever... what happened in the comic strips today? Did they get together and copy off of each other like in sophomore bio class? Nobody could come up with an original idea? Gene W. will surely be talking about it in his chat next week. I know he has talked about it before, saying that these things are cyclical and are bound to happens sometimes. But seriously, they each have the exact same line in them. They are totally cheaters.

UPDATE:
So, maybe I realized this weekend, while I did not have access to a computer, that this could have been an April Fools joke by the aformentioned cartoonists. D'oh.

UPDATE 2:
Dude, I totally called this one.

That's just creepy . . . you should definitely bring this to Gene Weingarten's attention. That's just creepy.

I've definitely seen that before. Two strips having the same concept or plot or line. I think sometimes comic strippers (ha) are feeling lazy/uncreative and phone it in. I don't approve.

hmm...I've heard of creative groups/classes giving a theme that the members work around. Maybe the newspapers gave a lame theme and the strips were, in turn, lame. Or maybe they're lazy and I'm thinking too hard about this...
