Yep, that's because the syndicate King Features is staging its second annual Earth Day event. So such strips as "Mutts," "Beetle Bailey," "Zits" and "Sherman's Lagoon" feature "go green" themes.

The creators are "presenting their "green" viewpoints through their characters," the syndicate says in a statement. "While keeping with the look and feel of their individual strips, the cartoonists all have the common goal of creating awareness for the environment."
