What's better? Color or black and white? How much better is one than the other? Note: I'm color blind so if the colors are weird, please tell me.

      He's not a vulcan. He's a gremlin!

    I like the black and white it lends it more gravitas.

    Here's the third option:

    I can live with any of them. It's still the same message and style. That said, I have grown accustomed to your black and white style, which I also associate with most political caricature.
    1. clioandme
      I think I'll change my vote to no. 3.

    the color cartoon makes the caption stand out. It is much easier on the eyes and a bit more interesting.
  7. LGramlich
    I kind of like the b/w. There's not a whole lot of color in the color one, really.
  8. dotartdude
    Another vote for color.
  9. crpitt
    The third version for me.
    1. Wisco
      I agree. The half-tones look "newsy."

    I like the one where he has six fingers/

      What? LOL!

    I like the third version, followed by the first black and white version--the color version is mostly greys and browns and a bit of pink which really just make it kind of ugly to my eyes (not that I expect W. to be pretty...).

    Totally B&W - grey- I mean color- just compounds the situation....
  13. jan4insight
    I like the color, and you did a good job with it.

    The third option, with the shadowing and cross-hatching, is also good.

    LOL, by the way!

    the color one! looks good in my colorful eyes!=)
  15. Arashmania
    definitely color ... it's more attention grabbing (i like the Prince Charles ears)
  16. keyster94
    I like the bw
  17. lulubelleb
    I like option 3. Generally, I prefer B&W to color.
  18. satijournal
    It's a tie so far: 7 for color and 7 for B+W
  19. DrowseyMonkey
    I'll break the tie ... Colour. Looks more professional. And I agree with Arashmania .. the ears, lol. They're kinda vulcan.
    1. satijournal
      Nope, now it's 8 to 8. Mark just voted for #3.
    2. DrowseyMonkey
      Damn, lol. Can I vote twice?
    3. clioandme
      But no. 3 is also a compromise for the 8 to 8. You could add those voices up and throw 16 more in the column for no. 3.
    4. drjay1966
      If Drowsey gets to vote twice for color, I'm gonna vote twice for black and white.
    5. drjay1966
      What mark said.
      Color's goin' down.
    6. DrowseyMonkey
      You're such a copy cat. And thank god you stopped with the avatar switching, you know I'm very visual. Which is why I like the colour.

      lol @ colours goin' down.
  20. okokokok
    Well . . . my second favorite (after the 6 finger version) is the b&w version. I also love the fact that the bookcase in the background has absolutely zero (0) (count 'em) books in it. Great Discussion - thanks for the laughs - even before I get to work today.
  21. earthwire
    Another vote for B&W
  22. jafabrit
    I vote 3rd version.
  23. satijournal
    Okay, voting has ended and the third version it is!

    This vote was for the style in general so that's the style I'll use from now on. Thanks for the input!
    1. DrowseyMonkey
      Really? That version makes my eyes all wonky ... the lines...the lines!

      I'm still voting for colour
    2. crpitt
      Hooray I wins!!!

    black and white. almost all political cartoons are black and white. why not use both? since you already made both? i think both look okay but i think the blacka nd whtie loook keeps the originality of the comic. not bad tho. very instresting cartoon. yeh but i agree with you the 3rd version is probably the best on good luck
