I’ve often wondered if some of the colorists aren’t overseas where they don’t share our cultural references, like when they make Moby Dick gray. Or the strip on a candy cane black.
A candymaker in Indiana wanted to make a candy that would be a witness, so he made the Christmas Candy Cane. He incorporated several symbols from the birth, ministry, and death of Jesus Christ.He began with a stick of pure white, hard candy. White to symbolize the Virgin Birth and the sinless nature of Jesus, and hard to symbolize the Solid Rock, the foundation of the Church, and firmness of the promises of God.The candymaker made the candy in the form of a “J” to represent the precious name of Jesus, who came to earth as our Savior. It could also represent the staff of the “Good Shepherd” with which He reaches down into the ditches of the world to lift out the fallen lambs who, like all sheep, have gone astray.Thinking that the candy was somewhat plain, the candymaker stained it with red stripes. He used three small stripes to show the stripes of the scourging Jesus received by which we are healed. The large red stripe was for the blood shed by Christ on the cross so that we could have the promise of eternal life.
The groomer where my friend’s dogs went gave out candy canes to the dogs. They were rawhide. The cane part was uncolored rawhide, and there was a thin stripe of red or green rawhide wrapped around it. Yep, the dogs chewed the stripe off first, then chewed the rest of it.

Shouldn’t the stripe be red or something?

I guess Odie either doesn’t like black, or licorice?

I wonder if Jon would end up wrapped up in the stripe if he tried to do the same thing?
