Comic strips

rowynI was discussing web comics with a friend, and he mentioned that he had a subconcious bias for strips that were in color. It wasn't that he consciously looked at black and white strips and said "ew!" -- but he found that most of the strips he wound up reading were in color.
I haven't noticed this bias in myself. In fact, one of the comics I read daily -- GPF -- went to color and I didn't even notice. (Happened sometime in 2002 or 2003, I guess). Out of the 21 strips I regularly follow, nine are in color. But most of those were in b&w when I started reading them, so color didn't have an impact on my decision.
Perhaps more interestingly: I only read a handful of strips where I know the creator's sole income is from the strip. Those would be: Megatokyo, PVP, Sluggy Freelance, and User Friendly. None of those run daily color strips (though the last three do Sunday color).
But this has been on my mind, so I thought I'd do a little poll on it and a couple of questions. For variety, I'll fill out my own poll this time. :)

Ooo! Malicious, Vicious Murdering Characters and Deus Ex Machina Ressurections! Oh boy! Oh Boy! Two great things that go great together! This stuff must be just terrific!
Yuck. :(
The only thing I saw of the character, I believe he was pictured wearing an SS Uniform. Oh, yeah, I just dig those Snazzy Stormtrooper Uniforms, don't you?
Gah. Phooey.
