These two characters offer a lesson to cartoonists in differentiating. In color, we can see that Reverend Meeks has brown hair, and is apparently much younger than Homer. In B&W they look very much alike, and it’s hard to tell that he’s not as old as Homer. Alone, he might almost be mistaken for Homer. Cartoonists, of course, see the differences that they intend, but do they convey to the reader?
