Nathan Strum 12,154 Posted August 27, 2012 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. Maybe this one works better? Quote Link to comment
cd-w 563 Posted August 27, 2012 Red for Communism (and also a hint for an upcoming game release)! Quote Link to comment
Nathan Strum 12,154 Posted August 27, 2012 Hadn't intended the Communism connection, but it works. So um... yeah. Quote Link to comment
Zach 150 Posted August 28, 2012 The title Chetiry is pretty entrenched now, but it's not to late to change the name to Red Square Crossing. 1 Quote Link to comment
Thomas Jentzsch 11,474 Posted August 28, 2012 OK, got that part. But why is the red color not aligned with other graphics? Quote Link to comment
SpiceWare 9,170 Posted August 28, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment
Thomas Jentzsch 11,474 Posted September 1, 2012 Sorry, but I still don't get it. Must be me. Quote Link to comment
Nathan Strum 12,154 Posted September 1, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment
Thomas Jentzsch 11,474 Posted September 1, 2012 It would have been funny if I would have remembered the details. Looks like I will miss a lot of jokes in the future... Quote Link to comment
Nathan Strum 12,154 Posted September 2, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment
