I wrote most of this one at some point last year, ending at the guy’s last line, and abandoned it as not funny enough. Revisited it recently after a trip to buy paint for our dining room and the final line occurred to me, which I think makes it post-worthy. I briefly considered trying to think of some other ideas for colors that might be part of the Fraternity Camouflage Collection, but decided to leave that to you guys.
MRS. SHOEBOX’S ASSESSMENT OF TODAY’S STRIP: *Brief snort*
(Note that this assessment was collected while Mrs. Shoebox was playing Minecraft with our son. She also pointed out a bit of awkward wording in the dialog, which I revised.)

Many years ago, when I lived in a dorm, students were allowed to paint their dorm rooms. If we used one of the standard university-approved colors, we could get the paint for free from the school, otherwise we had to buy it with our own money, and if the school didn’t like the color it had to be painted over at the end of the year. Two of the three standard colors were known by the students as “Battleship Grey” and “Monkey-Vomit Green”. The standard shade of brown was known by a less-polite name.
Heh. I’ve been dragged through enough interior decorating exercises with Mrs. Cat to know both that such books exist, and that while it may not be called “fraternity camouflage”, these colors do exist.
