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 have an appoinment … with DANGER!

Rex Morgan, M.D., 7/13/04
For my money, Rex Morgan has the best art of all the soap opera strips. It’s very cinematic. The “camera” is always swooping around extremely dramatically, as it does here, from far to near. I like how the close-ups are always at strange angles, often cutting off part of the characters’ faces. This dramatic perspective is appropriate for the current storyline, in which our heroes are trapped in a cave that’s menaced by rising floodwaters, but trust me, when the strip takes weeks to discuss medical malpractice insurance, the art is exactly the same.
