Origins of the Sunday Comics by Peter Maresca for April 06, 2015

Does anyone else think this strip looks like it’s been left out in the rain?

Definitely some of the colors have gone missing.

Wanna borrow my crayons?

Love to read these; try really hard. This one, I give up :)

Why did they even bother with this one?

Please stand by, I guess.

It appears they inadvertently printed only one color(Cyan) of the four needed. I’ve never seen this kind of “Oops” before.

Looks like it got interrupted in the middle of rendering the colors – there’s some red at the top…..

NOTE SEVERE TECHNICAL ISSUES!

It’s obviously some kind of CMYK format that broke off part-way through the M layer—an intermediate stage, obviously, since the files here (or anyplace else on-line) don’t have the layers separated in this way.

Stole a moonbeam, got in trouble, hijinks ensued.

Unknown technical problem!!! File was corrupted and has been reloaded.

Thanks for fixing it! It’s interesting to see the process plate, but it reads so much better this way.

Now that I see it in full color, it looks like 3-color CMY, not the 4-color CMYK that became the usual standard.
