One thing that always bugged me a bit is that Amend basically drew the same face & head for most or all of his characters. Now, it's easy to spot the signal differences when it comes to the Foxes, but with groups of girls I was always getting confused which one was Paige and which, her friends.
That said, he always made sure to put in just enough little details in to their hair and whatever else to help loyal readers spot the differences. I'd be tempted to call it a Peanuts / Schulz technique, but certainly the tradition of similar faces goes back to the very Stone Ages of newspaper comics.
