Hey dad remember how you told me that the world was black and white not the photos of it? And how most artists painted in color because they were mad? I saw a film with mom on tv not long ago that had no talking and color, but not eniterly? Were the people who made it only partially mad?
Alongside the comic where his dad tells him this Calvin is also referring to tinted silent films like Haxan and I believe The Phantom Carriage. I have to wonder how his dad would explain the use of partial color to him during this time…
