Yes, we don’t really do synchronicities any more, but these two were right next to each other in my GoComics feed.
It’s also interesting because the Wizard of Id comic seems outdated: eggs are one of the few items that have come down in price since early 2025, since the flocks that were decimated by bird flu have recovered. A Google image search doesn’t return any earlier version, so I don’t think it’s a rerun.

Bill always imposed a very high standard for “synchronicity”; it had to be more than just both comics mentioning the same object or concept: they had to have similar (or at least parallel) gags. As such, these two strips would not have qualified.
