CREATORS Comics - includes Wizard of Id

But Yahoo Comics uses the sort of washed out green
YAHOO Comics - Wizard of Id

WASHINGTON POST comics chose bright blue again
WASHINGTON POST Comics - Wizard of Id

Personally, I like the bright blue better - I think it makes everything pop out. Local newspapers, of course, published Wizard of Id still in black and white.
