Huge fan here ever since I found out about you about 7 years ago, and I make anyone check out your genius work at any opportunity - so much that in my undergrad I would get my old students to look at your comics before our weekly tutor sessions.
Beyond just saying thank you for putting out intelligent and artistically creative comics, and how excited I am for notes on a case of melancholia (which I already pledged), I just want to ask where you draw your inspirations for the content of the comics. I can tell you have a cynical, tongue-in-cheek sense of humor, and I am just wondering if any specific comic artists or authors inspired that.
And, if I can ask another, was there any factor that influenced PBF having such a variegated artistic style? I know you have your own style interspersed in there, but many of the comics seem to hearken to other styles. Just wondering if this was a choice, or more of a symptom of just wanting to not limit yourself?
Thanks again, the strip today was a great surprise, and I can't wait for future work
