where I'm at

Just decided I wanted to update my influence list, o lucky reader!

Here are my current all-time Top Ten Cartoonists. Today's list is geared toward those whose work I not only enjoy and appreciate, but whose work speaks to and inspires my own current work. So they're more about where my cartooning head is at right now — therefore, some old major idols and influences don't appear, or appear differently ranked:

1. Bill Watterson
2. Dik Browne
3. Alex Toth
4. Lee Holley
5. Hank Ketcham
6. George Lichty
7. Mort Walker
8. Frank Robbins
9. Jaime Hernandez
10. Leonard Starr

And, to flesh things out further, here's my Top Ten of cartoonists currently working:

1. Jon McNaught
2. Thom
3. Anthony Auffret
4. Vera Brosgol
5. Pascal Girard
6. Seth
7. Julien Neel
8. Brian Crane
9. Tonči Zonjić
10. Tauhid Bondia

Enjoy and/or dig!
