Hoo boy! Is this a printer’s mistake or did Rivera decide to go full-on, old school B&W? If the latter, I don’t think she did herself any favors. The broken harp in panel 1, for example, took time for me (at least) to recognize. I reckon Rivera must not have had a good picture of a harp on hand.

But this is your (or some child’s) opportunity to be Jules Rivera’s colorist for a day! Get out those crayons or water colors, print this strip, and go for it! You could also copy it into a paint program on your PC and do the same thing. That would be closer to what Rivera does, I believe. But why stop there? Print a copy out for every family member and hold your own art show! 

[ADDENDUM] Wow, is this ever a great opportunity to compare formats! Apparently (based only on my surmise), the color overlay was accidentally left off when the daily was first posted on ComicsKingdom. Now they have caught up. What do you think? Although the harp in panel 1 is easier to see, I think some of the coloring was rushed. Note the bird. Its entire head and bill are painted in one color, with an unpainted white highlight. That isn’t right, though I’m not sure what type of bird this is. Well, back to what I wrote earlier…

Anyway, this exciting story seems to be racing towards a climatic ending, with Doc Davis coming up with one sure-fire method for capturing Banjo Cat, thus saving the local avian wildlife of Lost Forest (or what’s left). Too bad it will likely be two weeks before we get back to Cherry’s adventure, since she used up her allotted one week time slot without capturing Banjo Cat.
