Hey, I’m chained to this drafting table and paid fifty cents a day — whaddya want from me?

The Lockhorns, 6/29/04

There are many reasons why black-and-white daily strips should not be colored in by people who aren’t the actual strip creators. This is one of them. The only way that I can figure out that this happened is that the person who colored this is in a comics-coloring sweatshop in Burma somewhere and speaks no English. Or maybe they’re color blind, and their employer is worried about the inevitable ADA lawsuit that would result from their dismissal.

    I think he’s saying, “No, you shouldn’t've bought the pink one, bilious green is the only thing that looks good on you, and you should’ve bought it instead.”

    Oops is on the money. Leroy is only comfortable with bilious green, since it reminds him of the taste he gets in his throat every time Loretta walks into the room, of the grave mistake he made when he married her, and how his life is a shambles.

    Maybe Leroy is trying to tell Loretta to say that to him but she’s to busy finding the tag on her dress with her eyes shut.

    LeRoy is wearing bilious green. He’s wearing her color. Right?
