I know the swivel lines were not in the original newspapers. And I guess the lines demarcating her breasts weren't -- if they were it would come off in white. But. Did she have a necklace? Who gave Miss Phlips a necklace?

I deeply respect Bill Watterson’s hardline stance against the merchandizing of Calvin and Hobbes, but there’s something very fucked but funny that because of his attempt to keep the integrity of his work that his characters are now most commonly encountered as bootleg Calvin peeing on things

That reminds me. As a Spidey fan what's your opinion of the newspaper comic.
We as a society don't deserve the glory of the Spider-Man newspaper comic.
The post about creative teams reminding you is perfect really because a thing people overlook memeing on the newspaper comic is this was Lee/Romita! For a respectable chunk of years! Possibly their newspaper strip run accumulated to a more one on one collaboration than their iconic ASM run had? I don't feel like fact checking that; don't quote me on that.
I could call that era 616-lite, but honestly, in many ways it's more like concentrated essence of 616. It's like the essential oil of 616. Including how you should exercise caution before applying it directly to your skin.
It's really just fascinating to watch how their styles kept evolving after the main comic transferred to other hands. Romita Sr.'s later inking is just, unf, and it's really a privilege to get to see it in black and white because of the format. And even after he dipped Stan Lee remained insane in the newsprint arena for, even accounting for decades of ghostwriting, way longer than he ever wrote ASM itself. It's bizarre that the newspaper strip exists.
But it does! And it contributes to my understanding of the mainline characterization in a way other adaptations simply cannot (largely in ways that are charmingly stupid). Like I'm not going to tell the guy who made these characters up that they would not fucking say that, and more importantly I don't want to. Harry and Flash did not open a disco together in 616. But they WOULD HAVE, had shit ever stopped happening for five minutes.
