no one who loves comics but me cares. *sniff* (yes, I've been reading some of the snarky online comments) Be that as it may:
I hope not!! I grew up on Johnny Hart's brilliant B.C. and The Wizard of ID. I used to love all his characters. Even when I got a bit older and was (slightly) incensed over the sexism of the Fat Broad and the Cute Chick, I could still love his work. (After a while they actually became quite feminist in their own way.) Not that any of the B.C. guys were any great shakes either. (tho I think I loved Peter best, and Wiley after him -- if only for his fear of water and his poetry). I also enjoyed the Wizard of ID (which came to our local papers long after B.C.), with its wonderful title character and the King, who as we may recall, is a fink. Ah...great stuff.
Hmmm...now that I think of it, I can see his influence all over your work. I was trying to remember why your style looked somewhat familiar (though completely your own). Now there's a fitting homage and legacy.
