Howard Tayler (Hugo nominee in Montreal) also redid some of his earlier Schlock Mercenary panels, though he didn't go to the extent that the QC artist did.

IIRC, he did one other thing: when releasing his strips as books, he released volume 3 first. I think he then did volume 4 before going back to vols 1 & 2 and reworking them.

Drawing a lot of things definitely improves it!

Of course, my drawing is so bad that I'd be aspiring to get to the 'before' state....
