    Calvin's dad explains it best:

    C: Dad, how come old photographs are always black and white? Didn't they
    have color film back then?
    D: Sure they did. In fact, those old photographs ARE in color. It's just the
    WORLD was black and white then.

    C: Really?
    D: Yep. The world didn't turn color until sometime in the 1930s, and it was
    pretty grainy color for a while, too.

    C: That's really weird.
    D: Well, truth is stranger than fiction.

    C: But then why are old PAINTINGS in color?! If the world was black and
    white, wouldn't artists have painted it that way?
    D: Not necessarily. A lot of great artists were insane.

    C: But... but how could they have painted in color anyway? Wouldn't their
    paints have been shades of gray back then?
    D: Of course, but they turned colors like everything else in the '30s.

    C: So why didn't old black and white photos turn color too?
    D: Because they were color pictures of black and white, remember?
