Why is Mallard green-headed in the top strips (like male mallards are), but black-headed in the bottom?

I know, very relevant to the subject, but I'm OCD that way.

I think it's because the top takes place at night in the dark and the bottom takes place in the sunlight or something.

One of those weird "We screw around with colors to show that it's dark while still making the characters visible" things.

I don't think comic strips are always colored by the same people.

Ah.  Okay.  Sounds like good a reason(s) as any.

I know, I could be all ragging on the message or subtext, but it's the color of a duck's head that has me fumboozled.  Go figure.

With good reason. I always hated Mallard Filmore for the obvious reasons Including it being such an obvious ripoff of Daffy. Not just the shape, but the cranky personality, too.

I sympathize completely. However, to use against us. Let me ask you a troll. On the one who pulled it. But here's the question: where do I think it might as well have stepped out of all people would cling to a layman.

Well at least I know it wasn't unfounded to think it was Daffy Duck.

Maybe not completely unfounded, but I don't understand why you would think that in the first place.  After all, Daffy is actually funny.

I think UP was trying to make a joke about how unfunny the comic was.

Exactly.  I think this strip sums it up nicely:



And how did Tinsley respond to this?  He accused Jon Steward of being a pedophile.
