This is a throwaway joke* and still one of the best ever.
*newspapers would sometimes cut off the top two panels of Sunday strips to save space.

I love your art style so much!! I've never seen anyone else that draws like you do. Were there any inspirations for it?
It's a great question when it takes me all day to gather pictures for it and I have to stop myself before I exeed the image limit on tumblr.
So to make this easier for myself, I focused primarily on media related to TV and the Internet (because you all know what videogames I like and the major animation studios are a whole seperate list onto itself)
But in summary on that end: these studios raised me
My earliest inspirations came from my grandma reading Calvin and Hobbes comic books to me, my parents allowing me to play Humongus Entertainment games on our PC (Putt-Putt, Pajama Sam, and Freddi Fish), and the beginning of preschool shows on Disney and Nickelodeon, primarily Blue's Clues and Rollie Pollie Ollie.
I just happened to grow up in the era where all 3 major networks for kids content were starting to hit their strides in making their own original content, so a lot of the cartoons I watched between 1999 - 2010 were in the 90s UPA revival style, championed through the art of Craig McCracken, Gennedy Tartakovsky, and Stephen Silver. (I will say though that Cartoon Network was my personal favorite).
With an honorary mention to WB Animation back when they had their own Saturday block:
(Xiaolin Showdown, What's New Scooby Doo?, Animaniacs)
Then came the introduction to mainstream anime in the west around 2006ish:
(Naruto, Death Note, Ouran High School Host Club, Panty & Stocking, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure
Look I'm not proud of Hetalia, but without it, things would've been different)
Which intertwined with the introduction of YouTube and the amount of flash animations and other video content I had uncensored access to:
(Eddsworld, Egoraptor, Mr. Weebl, Filmcow, AlbinoBlackSheep, various anime related memes and parodies, various anime abridged series (Little Kuriboh, Team FourStar)
Homestuck is here, not that I ever understood the plot of it, but mostly because I watched a LOT of tumblr ask dubs related to it and those made me want to start my own tumblr ask blog)
And as an adult from 2013 onward, I appreciated the old MTV cancelled shows, adult animation from Adult Swim, and a couple of animated shows from the post-live actiom era of Cartoon Network
(Clone High, Daria, Mission Hill, Undergrads, MTV's Downtown, The Venture Bros, Steven Universe & Steven Universe Future)
