i just have to ask. why the all blue color scheme in today's strip? i thought it was a dream sequence at first.

Now that is Midwestern.

Have I gone colorblind or is my monitor broken? Everything looks all blue. The people are blue, the broccoli is blue. The corvette is blue, the house is blue inside and out. Effiel 65 is blue. Da ba dee.

Well, maybe it's Gramp's nightmare after the actual occurence ;).
The blue color scheme doesn't really bother me, though it is unusual. I'm probably used to it from reading Count Your Sheep.

I love that the guy felt the need to illustrate with hand gestures, in case Gramp didn't understand what being kicked in the bidness meant.

oh don't get me wrong. "gives me the fire swamps" had me rolling on the floor. i just wondered if there was something i was missing.

(*chuckle* fire swamps... i'm gonna be laughing about that at random all week.)

I'm still laughing five minutes later. I can't count the times this type of situation has happened to me. Sometimes for no other mistake than asking "Is this the line for..." I call them "special needs puppies" much worse than the lost puppy these will take any opportunity to tell you their life's story and in much detail.

Also, the blue didn't bother me, but I definitely noticed the difference. Maybe this is for future print purposes? It gives the illusion of color but only using the blue and shades of blue. This way you can print books in color for cheaper prices? Passing the savings on to us, the customers? Thanks Dave! You always think about us, don't you?
