    Trout says it’s pink. Looks gray to me.

    Apparently the colourist didn’t read the dialogue.

    Remember, girls… it’s for poufy hair.

    Maybe you could make a poufy chicken.

    Or giant popcorn!

     

    Meanwhile… maybe it looks grey cos that part of the room is in the shadows.

    Or cos Grandma bought those cheap (and dangerous! ) imported 11 watt CFLs at the dollar store…

    The kind that provide such a tiny whisper of light you can’t read by it.

     

    But yeah, more likely, the colorist didn’t read the strip.

    I know one… they usually get one low-paid hour to color a whole week of one strip… so there’s often no time to read them, unless they just want to, on their own time.

    Most cartoonists do their own Sundays,

    and the syndicate colorists do the other 6 days.

    In 60 minutes… and on deadline, besides… though they might get a couple of days to turn in their work…

    A few do several strips, but most don’t.

    If they take 20 minutes on one day they have less for the others, or they do some of it free,

    cos they love being part of the comics.

    No doubt the same colorist who insists on making Gene’s brown hair blond over at A&J (Jimmy has said on his website that this is what happens).

    Oh how I hated those things! No wonder (in the 60s) I opted out for hippy hair! (Um…And it’s exactly the same now. For the same reason some people always wear the same brand of clothes…Comfort and familiarity.)

    Room for the many curlers. But I never used them. Too long ago for me.

    All hair dryers are grey in the dark.
