So, today's strip is in color. Or at least, it is for me (maybe I'm eating some bad applesauce). Does that mean that it's going to be in color from now on, or is this just a random burst of color? Obviously the premium strips have much nicer color done to them, but this sort of basic kind on a day-to-day basis is pretty nice too. If that's what's being done.

There are also other [goats.com] strips [goats.com] that are in color if you go back a bit, I am guessing that this is just a burst of color for the sake of having color.

There are two more strips that I was looking for but I can't remember what section they were under. They are two of my favorites. The first being when Toothgnip get's his letter from Suzie saying goodbye. It's so sad.. And then Toothgnip is being a superstar sex god, and can't remember his lines and such to break the plot line of the comic for a little break. Those were in color too.
Color= Spicey and Fun.

Ah ha! Here are the two strips that I was writing about, just for reference..

Hot Lovin' [goats.com]
So Sad [goats.com]

Colours! colours! pwetty colours!

(Yes, dammit, I like the British spelling. Bloody colonials.)

shiny colours. mmm.

I'm not sure what Jon decided, but maybe if we're all VERY lucky the color will stick around for awhile.

In Response to delight (#11649):

Yeah, but those were Sunday strips, back before they became premium-only. Not just random color in the weekday strips.

This is the first time *I* can remember random color in a weekday strips - unless you count the yellow in the post-it strips.

Yay color! I wonder what we did to deserve such a treat.

If you were a Premium member [goats.com] you'd be in the know. [goats.com]

Like everything else that happens, I think it's obvious to all of us that Deerboy is directly responsible.

In Response to Oedipa_Maas (#11671):

Dammit, I AM a premium member, but I'm not in the know! Crap! I must rectify this immediately.

(read, read, read)

I am now "in the know". It's nice here. It's where the flavor is.

In Response to Lonely Goatherd (#11651):

the difference between color and colour is like the difference between theater and theatre. Going to a theatre has always connoted (to me) Shakespeare or opera, whereas theater sounds like sleazy porn films in downtown Philly...

So, which one is the bad one?

In Response to zamphir (#11681):

it's a toss-up

(insert pedantry here. is toss up one word, two, or hyphenated?)

In Response to saskia (#11679):

Actually, (assuming you're in America) theater refers to the art form itself, or the field, while a theatre is a place to watch theater.

This having been beaten into my head by my advisor-to-be when I submitted my proposal to add a theater major (YOU'RE NOT IN ENGLAND! CHANGE THAT SPELLING!).

In Response to Oedipa_Maas (#11671):

Well, if you're a preemie AND read the forums more than 2-3 times a week.

But then, the color wouldn't have been such a nice surprise if I'd been reading the forum. :)

HOLY JESUS

I HAD ALWAYS THROUGHT PHILLIP WAS BLACK

In Response to wigu (#11692):

I HAD ALWAYS THROUGHT PHILLIP WAS BLACK

He is.

Jon just only has one crayon labeled 'Flesh Tone' in his box of 64.

Fortunately for us, it is not the green one.

In Response to wigu (#11692):

Perhaps Phillip and Michael Jackson have been "assisted" by the same cosmetologists and surgeons. Any other speculation about similarities between these two celebrities will hinge upon Phillip's baby-dangling skills. Oh-- perhaps Phillip has also earned the nickname "King of Pop", but for reasons completely unrelated to music.

In Response to Teledildonix (#11695):

I don't want to think about Phillip being the "king of pop."

But perhaps that's just my perverted mind talking to me, whispering silent evils to my subconscious.

In Response to Lonely Goatherd (#11651):

"Pwetty" is not a British spelling...

In Response to Oedipa_Maas (#11671):

How did you end up with my AV?? *confused*

In Response to delight (#11702):

She's a hax0r.

she 0nz j00.

In Response to delight (#11702):

It fit my porn name. [goats.com] Don't worry, I'm going to change it today.

In Response to Oedipa_Maas (#11717):

I think it fits a lot of porn names. *laugh*. It just confused me because my link died the same time that you put it up. Although your new AV is enjoyable.. cool.. and refreshing.

I wonder why Jon hasn't posted about the color. I bet he just wants to leave us wondering about the permanence of color... so that he can keep everything surprising.

In Response to delight (#11723):

or maybe he's using this bit of knowlege about color strips as anothing incentive for non-premies to go premium. Becuase if we check our forum, we all know what's up with color. :) And I know jon's silence has made me hesitent to explain what's going on...if he won't let the rest know, I sure don't want to let the secret out. sorry.

In Response to michele9993 (#11726):

It's not quite that sinister, I've just been gone for a couple of days.

The color is an experiment. If you folks like it, maybe we'll keep it. Let me know what you think.

Good experiement. Color is a swell idea. Very pretty shiney and new.
Although it doesn't make a terrible difference.
Great is great, color or no color.
