The second draft is a redrawn version of the first, with the impressive color cover that you see above. It&#8217;s a pretty noticeable improvement, although frankly I&#8217;ve always been a bigger fan of letting older work stand as is and putting effort into making future work better. The first draft is the same story, with a few pages different here and there, but it doesn&#8217;t look as good. So I guess if you&#8217;re a cheapskate you can go ahead and get the older version, if you&#8217;re looking for the best possible edition of this comic you can get the second draft, and if you&#8217;re a comic scholar you can get both versions to compare and contrast. Everything clear now? Update: Karl says that he redrew it because he has a much longer story in mind, in case you were wondering.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/chromosome12.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"592\" height=\"725\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Karl&#8217;s Facebook page Chromosome Crossroads #1 Now Available! $4 This whole &#8220;draft&#8221; business deserves a bit of an explanation.
