Brevity by Dan Thompson for March 26, 2016

I know baseball can be incredibly s…l…o…w   to watch…but did it actually put the colorist to sleep before he finished filling in all the spaces?

Or is the catcher really a leprechaun?

Meanwhile…. Bruno…no “L” … as in “palm” or “walk” ..or Christmas……

I foresee a lot of “fowl” balls called in this game…

The pitcher’s gotta be on the rubber, chicken!

Wouldn’t a chicken umpire be a chump?

Catcher’s a new guy. Kinda green.

I say, I say, swing batter, batter, swing!

rekam… .Most colorists are allotted an hour, so only given one hour’s pay… (5 years ago that was about $20)… for a whole week of 6 dailies for each strip they color.

That’s 10 minutes (or $2) per strip, whether they can finish it that fast, or have to put in some unpaid extra time..

Some color one title, some several… but it’s still hardly enough hours to call part time.

They DO sometimes rush and make mistakes… and I laugh at them….especially if they obviously didn’t get time to read the strip….

I remember a Stone Soup where the characters mention someone’s green sweater and the colorist had made it red…But really, don’t think anybody’s being lazy who’ll do that job.
