The cartoon was redrawn in color for the cover of the collection The Four Elements (1988). The title was simplified and Nature Girl was edited out.
Less familiar is a monoprint of the gag created by the artist in 2013. A monoprint is basically an image created with printmaking techniques, but with an edition size of one. In addition, The Four Elements is hand-colored. This bold image could have been created for a gallery show, although there are other possibilities. It is currently offered for sale at $3,360 by an eBay seller who also has an original Chast watercolor priced at $2,500.
