Scott Adams shares how he creates the Dilbert cartoons including the colour process used for the Sunday Strips.

I love Dilbert but I can’t figure out why it always seems less funny in colour. It can’t be the content, the author is the same, so must be my perception. The visual simplicity of a black line drawing communicates more, to me, than colour.

Or maybe I’m just lazy, the three panel black line strips are shorter!
