Comic Strip Conspiracy

[deguspice]

I have long been convinced that comic strip artists must communicate in some way (email, bar chats, forum, ...) and occasionally share ideas for a comic strip or give each other challenges. Two of yesterday's comic strips appear to provide support for my theory. There is no way it could be a coincidence that these two comic strip artists published nearly identical comic strips on the same day.

No it's just a case of comic artists mining the real world for subject humor. That one comes straight out of the Benghazi trials

Interesting. You're not the only one who noticed this, but I can't find an explanation in either place.

Let me know if you learn anything further...

One person suggested it was influenced by the recent Benghazi hearings.
