This did happen on occasion. I remember one DuckTales story I rewrote  
that I just had to refurbish. The art was such that I was able to  
recast the "villain" of the piece and change his motivation, which  
amounted to giving him a motivation in the first place. The original  
verbiage made the character out as nothing more than an inexplicable  
idiot.
