    My schoolmate Ian Greensmith must have prefered yellow to red.

    I’ve heard of red-hot, but blue-hot?

    Nowadays, this is about the only way we’ll get both sides of Congress to work together. Too much trying to advance each party and not enough trying to work things out for the good of the country.

    You weld dissimilar materials together with extreme high explosives. Color is blood red, not purple.

    So if you put music on the anvil and smash it with a hammer you just get “The Smiths”?

    The blue emitted can be very capturing, but don’t give in to temptation. It is a side effect of real heat.

    I find it interesting that some people will not understand this cartoon…

    and, in fact can’t perceive color theory or even kindergarten-level paint mixing.

     

    Someone I knew.. brilliant, and scientific… could repair electronics and write computer code.

    He could see colors but had NO concept of what color any two would make when mixed.

    A question like “Which of these reds is more blue (or orange, or yellow)?” made no sense to him, nor did the idea that people could picture kneading blue and yellow clay into green.

     

    He’s not the first person I’ve known like that…

    I even knew a 3rd grade teacher who couldn’t explain it to her class because she couldn’t picture it.

    Mixing paint was a surprise… she couldn’t see how to make dark green more chartreuse, or make lavender from purple.

     

    Anybody know whether there’s a name for that?

    Hard to Google cos I don’t know the word!

    It’s not so much that I want to advance the blue, as I want to get rid of the orange traitor and restore a second party that respects the constitution.

    Red Hot + Blue is the first compilation album from the Red Hot Organization in the Red Hot Benefit Series. It features contemporary pop performers reinterpreting several songs of Cole Porter, and the title of the album originates from Cole Porter’s musical Red, Hot and Blue.

    Are you advocating that RED and BLUE compromise, meet in the middle, cooperate, and work together towards results we can all agree are pleasing and good? Nope, oil and water, never happen…

    Won’t work. They’re either red states or blue states…

    This is only a cartoon. So I hope that alloys your fears.

    BalletMet in Columbus has a performance named “Becoming Violet” that has dancers use red and blue powder, and come together to form… you guessed it. I haven’t seen the full performance but they have clips of it online. https://www.balletmet.org/becoming-violet/

    My guess is that most of the ‘purplesmiths’ died out in the 1950’s…
