Season Five was the most colorful experience I’ve had in a long time, even if it happened in black and white.
Phenny, that didn’t make any sense.
Sure it does! Just like the old joke, “What’s black and white and read all over?”
Oh, I see.
Of course, reading the joke gives the answer away. When you say it out loud, it sounds like, “What’s black and white and red all over.”
Yeah, I get it now. So we’re announcing the top two stories from each genre and each month in the Prismatic season, right? Did they have any stories about luck dragons among the finalists?
