=== The classic comic strip provides examples of: ===
 
* [[Art Evolution]]: Alex Raymond's method of drawing notably evolved and improved as the series progressed. For a time he used a dry-brush drawing style with lots of hatching, as was common in [[Pulp Magazine]] black-and-white interior illustrations. Later, he switched to a clearer line style, used in conjunction with [[Prince Valiant]]-esque still images that mimicked paintings.
** When the strip began, the people on planet Mongo all had [[Yellow Peril|yellow skin]] ([[Off-Model|most of the time, anyway]]). Plus, Princess Aura was a redhead, and Prince Barin was bald. A few years in, the yellow skin-tone was dropped and the humanoid denizens of Mongo [[Race Lift|started being drawn as white]]. At the same time, Aura became a blonde and Barin suddenly sprouted a full head of black hair (which the strip lampshaded as him defying Ming's decrees on proper court fashion).
