I thought I'd attempt the record for the longest time between the original version and the redo - will forty years do?
The original was drawn in the summer of 1981, when I was still at school. The redraw was drawn in January 2021. In that time I've improved my staging, refined my drawing style into something more fluid, introduced colour (I had to wait for Photoshop to be invented for that to happen) and purged myself of my pretentious teenage handwriting.
