I took a look at the first Jaimes strip collection at the bookstore and was disappointed that 1) it’s in color 2) it looks like it has JPEG artifacts or some such poor reproduction. No sale.

is it running in B&W anywhere at all? she seems to be drawing it in/for colour, would assume a B&W book would require someone spotting every single strip
― Elon's musk (sic), Sunday, 3 May 2020 22:30 (four years ago) link
Iirc, Jaimes draws and colors the strips on an iPad. It also seems like any papers still running daily strips run them in color (the last time I looked at the Houston paper--admittedly awhile ago--they were cut down from two b&w pages to the color back page of the culture/style section).

I haven’t clapped eyes on a daily comics page in aeons but I assumed they were still black and white
― silby, Monday, 4 May 2020 00:06 (four years ago) link
Guess I also assumed that the color strips were produced in the traditional way where the artist hands in a black and white version and some hack at the syndicate does colors.

I follow the 'Nancy Comics by Ernie Bushmiller' account on twitter (@JohnnyCallicutt), as the name suggests it mainly posts Bushmiller strips, but it's recently done a few strips from early on in Guy Gilchrist's run, and they're actually ... quite good? Obviously paying homage to Bushmiller's style, I don't know how or when it went from this to four panels of Phil Fumble talking about his favourite classic rock albums.

those were co-created with his brother Brad Gilchrist, so maybe Brad was the talented one?
