"Blubber the Eskimo was
drawn to look as much like Ebony as possible, whether
by design or because that is simply Will's subconsciously preferred
approach to boy-sidekick art. The similarity between the two
characters is so close that when 'The Fly' was reprinted... in
the Warren SPIRIT magazine... nobody seemed to notice that the
little kid following The Spirit around was not Ebony
White." ---from "The Central City Zeit-Geist"
