My subconscious kept coming back to this comic with the notion there was some line I still needed to hear. Now it can be put to rest. Thank you Dan.

And when printed in black-and-white, uncolored uses less ink. Maybe the artist needs to submit two versions: one to be printed black-and-white, and one to colored in.

Coloring it black makes sense in a drawing that uses black and white (and no grays or shading). When the colorist gets the strip, he can't simply recolor it red because there are no outlines. The colorist would have to (digitally) erase all the black except for an outline, which is difficult and time-consuming. They probably don't have the time or money to justify that, so the result is he still wears black in color.
