Whereas the usual Soap Opera Comic is drawn on a much larger paper and scaled-down, Watterson's parody of it was drawn at normal scale without losing any quality of detail. The commentary in one Calvin and Hobbes collection revealed that it unintentionally showed Watterson's true talent. When Calvin played "house" or "doctor" with Susie, the art was in a style a lot like soap opera strips: normal human proportions, angular lines on characters, etc. Later on though, the artist experimented with different styles in different fantasy worlds. In very early strips, Calvin's imaginary excursions were often drawn in a cartoonish style basically the same as the main strip's art. The art she draws up is a retro '80s shoujo take on the anime's more stylized, modern character designs.
