Yeah, it looks like Garfield's colorist isn't bothering to read the strip.

I find it hard to imagine that a colorist would take the time to do that (not that the coloring in Garfield is particularly detailed) and not even glance over the words. It makes me wonder what really goes on. Does the colorist get a wordless version and Jim Davis just prays that they use the right color if a joke depends on it? Is comics coloring outsourced to a non-English speaking country? Does the colorist work under such a time crunch that they don't have time to stop and read? Or do they truly just not care that much?

Is comics coloring outsourced to a non-English speaking country? Does the colorist work under such a time crunch that they don't have time to stop and read? Back in the day, i.e. the 90s, we used to have a monthly Garfield magazine that collected strips and would have the occasional colorist error, and they always explained it by colorists generally receiving the strips without text. If color was integral to the joke, there's be a note like "please color donut green." Presumably that's where time crunch, miscommunication etc. come in. Though frankly these days when Garfield is most likely 99% assembled from clipart components it seems hard to believe that would still be the process, or that those wouldn't already be colored, so who knows. e: might even be as silly a thing as "we've already designated background colors for the week, today's is green, a green donut would blend in, gently caress your joke"

Now I'm picturing the Nazis rifling through the captured pilot of a downed bomber's possessions, finding a microfilm that surely holds secret information, and being all like "was zum Teufel" when they view it.

Vargo posted:
The necktie that spread from Europe traces back to Croatian mercenaries serving in France during the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648). These mercenaries from the Military Frontier, wearing their traditional small, knotted neckerchiefs, aroused the interest of the Parisians.[2] Because of the difference between the Croatian word for Croats, Hrvati, and the French word, Croates, the garment gained the name cravat (cravate in French).[3] The boy-king Louis XIV began wearing a lace cravat around 1646, when he was seven, and set the fashion for French nobility. This new article of clothing started a fashion craze in Europe; both men and women wore pieces of fabric around their necks. From its introduction by the French king, men wore lace cravats, or jabots, that took a large amount of time and effort to arrange. These cravats were often tied in place by cravat strings, arranged neatly and tied in a bow.
