As much as I would like to think of myself as a [Gibson Girl](http://www.gibson-girls.com/) or an [Art Frahm](http://lileks.com/institute/frahm/index.html) cutie, the mirror does not lie—every day in every way I become more and more the image of a [Helen Hokinson](http://www.lakeview-museum.org/pastexhibits/ps.html) matron. So, what cartoonist are you drawn by? Patrick McDonnell? R. Crumb? Daumier? ---

I wouldn’t mind being a Jack Kirby superhero (what do you expect, with a username like **CalMeacham**?), but I suspect that In Real Life, I should expect to be drawn by Don Martin. ---

…the guy that draws cartoons for Hunter S. Thompson. Beautiful, ugly art. ---

Yeah, I get to be the first to say Robert McKimson. Not as Fudd mind you but more along the lines of Bugs Bunny. ---

Personality-wise, Bill Watterson. I’m the dad in Calvin & Hobbes. Calvin: How do they tell how much a bridge can hold? Dad: They drive progressively heavier trucks over it until the bridge collapses. Then they weigh the last truck that made it over, rebuild the bridge, and that’s how much it can hold. That’s me. Physically, I’m more of a Rick Redfern type, so I’ll say Trudeau. ---

Probably [Edward Gorey](http://shop.store.yahoo.com/pomegranate/f612.html)…I’ve always empathized with Marsh Maryrose, the male Deranged Cousin. ---

Nah . . . I’ve met Ike, and he’s a weird combination of [R. Crumb](http://www.fantagraphics.com/artist/crumb/crumb.html) and [Gluyas Williams](http://www.adh.brighton.ac.uk/schoolofdesign/MA.COURSE/LComicsLine.html). ---

I’m cheating a bit - a cartoonist, yes, but I’m citing his illustrations. Jules Feiffer’s illustrations of [Milo](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/stores/detail/-/books/0394820371/reader/1/ref=lib_dp_TFCV/002-8370843-8392013#reader-link) in _The Phantom Tollbooth_. My very first online presence was as Milo, but when I registered here Milossarian was well established… ---
