[split] Jorge's Retracer Thread: darker ink, retracing of text and drawings
#13
Even the texts of You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. show under enlargement/zooming a clear tendency to fade into brownish colour tones.
At several positions of the script the writers had the opportunity or skill to work in a smaller, compact handwriting with more use of ink.
But this ink always seems to come from a same production or mixing principle and remains as a more or less brown lining.

Against this, the darker ink of "retractor" aka "ladies private parts' improver", of the months' names, the baby dragon (f25v), the most pagenumbers, the strange animals at and in pond of You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. and several smaller scribbles 
clearly turns into a grey fading, if at all. "Black" ink still looks black mostly.
If it was necessary to retrace some vords in those "zodiacs", it may not happen the next day, but quite timespan later: maybe centuries.
I see at least the funny guy who tuned some ladies' drawings and added a dragon and some stranger creatures into the green colour-peeled-off patches of 79v as someone who had nothing to do with the original script and just joked araound a long time later in a book which said him as little as we know today about it.

Finally, there is not any proof for one or the other theory to find a valid consensus about it.
