glennf, There’s a weekend in 1988 when Charles Schulz changed the way he put tone on Franklin’s face from cross-hatching to a dot pattern. Why? No one is quite certain. I’ll be looking into the representation and reproduction of non-racist portrayals of people of color in my book, How Comics Were Made, currently in crowdfunding. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/glennf/how-comics-were-made
I've spoken to cartoonists about how they draw themselves and characters of color as well as historians and academics.
