ooooh no they didn't.
maybe you recgonise this goth baby. i do, i used to have a t-shirt with this very logo on it, but then people started asking 'why is she wearing a yarmulke?' so i colored her SHINY HAIR (not Jewish skullcap) in with a sharpie. (also while i was wearing this shirt this popular jock kid named Zach said 'You are so weird. If i was locked in a room with you, I'd kill myself') i liked that shirt, but then hot topic blew up and became the mecca for mall metal kids and 'emily the strange' became their national mascot.
turns out the whole thing is a a rip off.
this is a book from 1978. BAM.
you can read more about it here
the interview quotations with 'creator' rob reger are quite good and i like that they have included the response from him and the company to the blog itself.
