I guess scarves were just something to grab attention, or an experimental thing, i really dont know, but at the time i guess it was just something new to add to stickfigure animation, and most animators make their own original ideas (mostly i think to RHG, since it is a good place to do so) and if somebody else likes the idea, i guess they may re-create it into a new idea (This was how i got my RHG idea, i saw devil wings in RHG, and modifies the idea to something more feminine, and my rhg Rosie was born) I'm not 100% certain thats true, its just my thoughts and guesses...
