3859: Red vs. Blue
| Red vs. Blue |
 Made by: Nyperold |
Explanation[edit | edit source]
In the original, the P.A. system said "red" while the car was blue. This edit, rather than simply correcting one of those, changes the spoken color to "blue" and the car to red. The author seems irritated that the colorist for this strip apparently didn't read the words and apply them to the work of deciding which color to use.
The strip shares its title with a comic science fiction web television series that uses the Halo video game series for its visuals.
The author writes:[edit | edit source]
Since some colorists apparently don't know what colors are, I decided I don't, either. After all, I'm not getting paid for it, while they are, for some reason.
Original strip: 1997-09-07.
