This comic will appear in the Winter issue of The BENT magazine, Tau Beta Pi’s long-running engineering publication. Rather than just send them the original single panel ‘toon, I went back and redrew it. This comic originally ran on the site back in 2005.
Before:
Here’s the same comic 5 years later.
After:
I enjoyed the process of updating my old artwork. I may do this for a few of my favorite single panel ‘toons.

Wow… great to see the style evolution!
Use of the outlines, and change of elements in the framing… very nice.
Cool idea. Nice to be able to see how things have changed.
I can see that your staging has improved, as has your character posing.
Did you explore different viewing angles, Krishna, or did you go with your gut feeling?
I went with my gut feeling on the revamped version. In the old version, there was no depth – the characters were in the mid-ground, and the dead guy was in the background. By putting the scientist guy in the extreme foreground, I felt the composition was better balanced.
