How many angles can I generate from a very simple "looking out the window" strip?
I have the 1993 strip in a book, and I think it's funnier in black-and-white. The pink and green make it too obvious what's going on in the last panel (unless you're color-blind), whereas in line art you have to make the connection yourself. And how does pink turning into green even make sense?

Trivia[edit | edit source]
The link to the Peanuts strip, the only link still working in the line corresponding to the old original strip crediting system on Square Root of Minus Garfield itself, leads to the original black-and-white version of the Peanuts strip; the colorized version used in this strip can be found here. (A different colorized version of the same Peanuts strip can be found here, but that version came after this Square Root of Minus Garfield strip first ran.)
