Birdbrains by Thom Bluemel for November 19, 2020

I had a basketball game once back in high school days that was about to start when one of the refs called a halt and announced that both teams could not be wearing the same uniforms. Ours was blue and gold, there’s was purple and yellow, and the ref was color blind!

Are you growling at me?

Dogs don’t really see in shades of grey. They only have two types of cones (Humans have three) so their perception of color is different from ours.

My dad was colorblind but could distinguish the red & green lights by their brightness and position. But some places had horizontal traffic lights and my mother had to tell him which was the red one.

You can tell this poor dog is colorblind. Who would willingly buy a red car with a YELLOW interior!!

Those extra r’s are a dog accent thing, right, like the way many Bostonians drop theirs?

I’m not growling, I am just naturally grrruff.
