The first version of Coca-Cobra by wacky artist Smokin' Joe McWilliams

This was Joe McWilliams' first ever wacky painting, so the editing staff really wanted to give input into it, making sure it was tight and his future paintings would be the same. Joe repainted Coca-Cobra for the final sticker, enhancing both the snake and the bottle.
However, when The Topps Vault auctioned this piece, there was no mention of it being the first of two Cobra paintings.
Auction Description:

This exclusive eBay auction features the one-of-a-kind painting used in the process of creating this witty 2006 Topps Wacky Packages sticker card. Topps commissioned artist Joe McWilliams to paint this uncanny spoof of the ever-popular Coca Cola beverage bottle. |
Our old pal, Fred Wheaton, noticed the difference. Here you can compare both versions.
