A genuine Ed Crankshaft appearance! Somehow, despite all the Funky Winkerbean characters who now infest the strip, Crankshaft managed to hang in there.
FS = Federal Standard colors. There are a lot of things which require a standardized color (you want all STOP signs to have the same shade of red, for example) and the FS listings tell you which exact color to use. And if you build model aircraft, there’s a huge variety of FS colors for camouflage patterns. That includes shades of gray.
