Yep, forgot to go back and color correct the bathing suit on Kathy. I
used the partial HA cover and another ebay cover as you guessed. I'll
look for the missing details and your "thing" and see what I can cobble
together for a v2.
As far as color, I'm with you between scanner variations and fading,
yellowing, etc. I have a hard time deciding what is correct/desirable.
Sometimes it's better to "just let go" and enjoy the comic, I guess.
