Verdell's works usually are the result of time. He goes back and forth, reworking each piece until he finds satisfaction. Unlike the rest of the works, One Hitter Quitter is unique in the series by the immediacy of its production. He states, "This one only took me a small session for me to like it enough to be done with it." It is not just in scale, but in its aesthetic presentation, that we can glance at his corporal and instinctual approach to his work.
