Did I miss something lately? :?

The mis-registered red was missing from the last episode. It was getting further out-of-register with each episode... so it ended up here.

Yeah... probably a little too obscure. :roll:

Maybe this one works better?

I think I got it.

I suppose...

Red for Communism (and also a hint for an upcoming game release)!

Hadn't intended the Communism connection, but it works. So um... yeah. :ponder:

The title Chetiry is pretty entrenched now, but it's not to late to change the name to Red Square Crossing. ;)

OK, got that part. But why is the red color not aligned with other graphics? :?

Check the photos in the first post.  You posted the first reply in that topic, but it's understandable that you might have forgotten it given that the topic was posted 5 years ago ;)

Sorry, but I still don't get it.

Must be me. :ponder:

  • When first discovered, the Red Sea Crossing cart had mis-registered red ink that was offset on the label from where it should have been.
  • There was controversy over this. Some thought it proved its originality by dating the printing process and related errors to that time period and reinforcing the idea of it being a limited, low-budget production. Others thought that the effect was easy to fake and proved nothing.
  • Then a new one turned up, without the mis-registered ink.
  • The comic strips about Red Sea Crossing had mis-registered ink. As the strips progressed, the effect got more pronounced. The last strip featured no mis-regisistration, so it implied that Artie was now playing the other cart.
  • But in the end, the ink had simply been mis-registered so far, it showed up later on a completely unrelated strip.
So that's the logic behind it.

I just never said it was funny. ;)

It would have been funny if I would have remembered the details. :)

Looks like I will miss a lot of jokes in the future... :ponder:

I'll admit it was a bit obscure, but I like in-jokes. I suppose a relevant link would have helped. I'll keep that in mind for the future.

Very clever! :thumbsup:
