This page might shed some light on the range of style and subject in this cartoon series. "I would have to say the 'comics' have influenced me, but some other forms of art have equally captured my attention. Movies, television, all types of music, fine art, commercial art, nature, and the mechanics of being human, have all seasoned my view of the world—and I'm spewing it back out through this cartoon." Here's a rambling list of all that comes to mind (and just because these are influences doesn't necessarily mean they're things I like...):Charles M.
