Red’s Suspicious Color Question

HEY RED, WHAT’S SHAKIN’? IF YOU WERE TO MIX WITH YELLOW, WHAT WOULD THE RESULTING COLOR BE? GREEN, WHY? OH, NO REASON.

A blue anthropomorphic crayon sits on a couch and asks Red what color results from mixing with yellow. Red answers “green” and then says there is no reason, while the final panel shows the blue and yellow crayons hospitalized, implying Red is planning to hurt them and use their colors to make green. The joke relies on a dark, absurd misunderstanding of color mixing. EN: A blue anthropomorphic crayon sits on a couch and asks Red what color results from mixing with yellow.
