I don't actually have a ton to say about this strip; it's a very straightforward, formulaic Sightseeing example. - 1/7

That said, I thought I'd do something a little different this time and ask a very pointed question to see what you all think. - 2/7

Does the tri-tone aesthetic of this strip impact (positively or negatively) the experience that you have when you engage/collaborate with it (i.e. read and make meaning)? - 3/7

In particular, I'm wondering things like: a) Does it communicate it's narrative as effectively? b) What is lost here by the move to tri-tone? c) Is anything *gained* here by the move to tri-tone?, etc. - 4/7

We spoke about this a little bit yesterday in a general way, so I thought it would interesting to apply it in a more specific way (with a formula that is familiar, this will allow us to compare experiences from the Sightseeing Series). - 5/7

You can answer the main question, the sub-questions, or you can answer *around* them/create your own commentary, but I'm really eager to hear about your experiences with this strip today on less of a narrative level, and more of an aesthetic one. - 6/7

What's your reading of "Little Nemo in Slumberland" #289? - 7/7
