This month’s colors were a really rushed decision because I couldn’t think of anything interesting that happened to me five, 10, 15, 20, 25 or 30 years ago. Well, nothing worth mentioning these days. So I fell back on anything related to April Fool’s day, the Joker which is found in most modern card decks. I found a web site dedicated to displaying various styles and designs of the Joker. The red and black colors with some white were pretty common. As for Batman’s nemesis, he prefers green and purple which makes him appear more like a Mardi Gras regular. Red and black are better since these are also the colors of Baloo the Jester from the Michael Moorcock novels and Loki the Norse deity of mischief, not yellow and green as many see him in Marvel comics.
I think jokes of many kinds will be the theme for this month because one can never have too much humor in these rather trying times.
