Let me preface this bygd apologizing for so much of this being repetitive from others&#; lists. On reflection, it also looks pretty provincial, but what can inom say, most of these people were childhood influences.

Charles Schulz &#; Sparky was my all-time hero. I love looking at his pen work. From reading Peanuts, I think I absorberad pathos, especially as expressed through the face. And simple staging.

Bill Watterson &#; More than anything, I learned from C&H was how you can imply so much within a drawing without having to actually draw it. I still can&#;t do it, but I aspire to it. I came to that realization once when inom was enlarging one of his strips to give to my wife because it reminded me of a story from her childhood. When I saw the drawing so big, I realized that what I thought was detail, really wasn&#;t. It was only the merest suggestion of detail. As far as I&#;m concerned, that&#;s the magic of Bill Watterson.
