Yes, only three days ago, Lawrence was a robust chocolate brown. Brian is the one I would worry about though. Any yellower and I might expect to see him join the Simpsons.
I sort of wonder how they go about colorizing these old weekday comics that were intended for monochrome printing. Often the colors do not work so well with the existing shading. I sort of doubt that Lynn Johnston had anything to do with coloring this one, which presents Dawn with an acute jaundice condition. It could be worse. I now recall a certain Sunday comic from the 1970s, in which all Asian characters would appear in canary yellow.
Thank You. I was thinking the same thing. There was one a few years ago, a soap opera involving Tiffany, her dad, and Ann Eiffel. I actually swore off, but returned a couple of months later and saw that the coast was clear. I still do not know what came of that, but I have not seen Ann since.
Do you think she’ll remember? I met my own babysitter more than fifty years after the, um, difficulties. She remembered everything. I still say I was in the right.
I am referring to the original publication, maybe thirty years ago. To my knowledge, that cannot be accessed from this site or any other. It was probably printed in one or more of the collection books. And then there are library microform newspaper archives. I am not that distracted by it though.
This must be the most memorable episode in the whole run of this comic strip, but I seem to be remembering it differently. As I recall the first version, Edgar taught himself to use the doorbell several weeks before, and that was how he got the attention of the household. Am I wrong? Aside from the colorization I have noticed several minor dialog changes meant to modernize it, but why would anyone cut the whole doorbell thing?
Fair point about Canada’s drinking laws, but right now I am struggling to recall seeing anyone check an ID at a wedding reception.
