Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for February 03, 1991
Transcript:
Calvin: Calvin suddenly realizes the world has no hue, value or chroma! Have the photoreceptors in Calvin's eyes stopped working properly, or has the fundamental nature of light changed?? Perhaps some strange nuclear or chemical reaction on the sun has caused electromagnetic radiation to defy separation into a spectrum? Maybe objects no longer reflect certain wavelengths! What ever the cause, it's clear to Calvin that there's no point in discussing things with his Daad! Dad: The problem is, you see everything in terms of black and white. Calvin: Sometimes that's the way things are!!

Good thing he wasn’t dreaming about having dinner after being starved, huh Calvin?

This looks like it may have been more difficult to do than a normally colored sunday strip. Watterson is incredibly creative.

Does anyone find it weird that Calvin knows about electromagnetic radiation but not what 5+3 is?

“During the Licensing Fight, I was often accused of seeing issues in black and white, so I illustrated it literally for the strip. Calvin’s retort is my own. It was a fun challenge to make the pictures intelligible without any outlines. Best of all, I only needed to color one panel.”
