    An eye Dr showed me a picture with an 8 in it. I told him I saw a 3. He had a confused look so I asked him if you can be color blind in one eye. Got a little chuckle from him !

    The “Wizard of Oz” starts and ends in sepia; the Oz parts are in full color. Is this an example of the Mandela Effect, where many people “remember” the beginning and end to be in “black and white”?

    Now show her a Magic Eye image, and see how long it takes it takes for her to discover the 3D illusion that’s hidden in it. (Go to MagicEye dot com if you don’t remember what these are.)

    There are none so blind as those who cannot see? Or, she cannot see the six because of the upside down nines in the way?

    Funny, I see a “9”. Of course, the doc is holding the card upside down. I wonder why he’s doing that?

    I think Scott’s overthinking this one.

    If you have color-blindness in your family, you’d get it immediately

    The Washington Post once had a contest for readers to come up with new mottoes for states. One of the winners was, “Kansas – The black and white part of the movie.”

    I usually fail those types of tests. I’m not color blind but i don’t see the differences between subtle hues. When I joined the Navy the doctor pulled out a bunch of colored wires and asked me to name each color. No problem.

    I was an adult before I learned that most of “The Wizard of Oz” was in color, even though I’d seen it on TV many times! My father refused to get a color TV (this was in the 1960’s) as it was “just a fad” and we’re not “slaves to the boob tube”. So I grew up in blissful ignorance, although I was really confused about the bit when they arrive in Oz and the comment is made about their transportation being pulled by “a hose of a different color”. Is this a “First World Problem”?

    Am I the only one here who’s ever read the book? The opening paragraphs of the first chapter focus on the hard life of the Kansas prairie, and virtually everything on Uncle Henry and Aunt Em’s farm is described as gray (Dorothy and Toto are notable exceptions). In six paragraphs the word “gray” (including one use of “grayer”) appears 10 times.

    There’s humor in this ’toon, but is it aqueous or vitreous?

    I’ve heard there’s a super rare form of colorblindness that is essentially grayscale. It sounds awful.
