New: mp3's up! Listen here.
Calvin: Dad, how come old photographs are always black and white? Didn't they have color film back then?
Father: Sure they did. In fact, those old photographs are in color. It's just the world was black and white then.
Calvin: Really?
Father: Yep. The world didn't turn color until sometime in the thirties, and it was pretty grainy color for a while, too.
Calvin: That's really weird.
Father: Well, truth is stranger than fiction.
Calvin: But then why are old paintings in color? If the world was black and white, wouldn't artists have painted that way?
Father: Not necessarily. A lot of great artists were insane.
Calvin: But how could they have painted in color anyway? Wouldn't their paints have been shades of gray back then?
Father: Of course, but they turned colors like everything else did in the thirties.
Calvin: So why didn't old black and white photos turn color too?
Father: Because they were color pictures of black and white, remember?
(later) Calvin: The world is a complicated place, Hobbes.
Hobbes: Whenever it seems that way, I take a nap in a tree and wait for dinner.
