Good examples of character clashes that aren't worth fixing can be
seen in one of my earlier drawings, shown below -

DR J DR J
Look at the seaweed above the foreground fish's tail, notice the clash
caused by the fish covering the seaweed? Well I could try and sort out a
way of curing the problem, but what for? The clash is almost unnoticeable
and has virtually no effect on the overall look of the picture.
As an aside, this picture is clearer when viewed as a stereogram
because the 3D separates the fish from the seaweed better than the brain
can when looking at the flat picture!
When drawing random-letter stereograms, many artists add two markers at
the top of the drawing to show at what point the images should overlap. I
decided to incorporate this idea in my drawings by adding my name in 3D.
The DR J's are always one layer above the main picture, so you should look
at them first to get an idea of the picture's depth. Once you've got them,
look at the main image and you should be able to see it as a stereogram
immediately.
