I've got a couple, but the BIGGEST most BLATANT is (1)Octopus Pie. I try pretty hard to make sure my comic MEAT&BONE can't be compared too closely though, it's actually a bit of a worry sometimes! Haha, oops. Especially with regards to Merediths colorist, Valerie Halla - she's excellent.
(2)Scott Pilgrim is an early influence I still feel (as well as various manga, something that also shaped Bryan Lee O'Malley). (4)Michael DeForge is a big influence in tone for me, and my friend (5)Jason Bradshaw, and well as LEGENDARY cartoonist (3)Chester Brown encourage me to be more raw in the stories I'm telling....
