Influence Map: This is the Truth

The odds of me contributing to an internet meme are slim, but this "Influence Map" thing just looks so nice and pretty when it's done, I couldn't resist. And this map shall guide me for the rest of my days. Click to explore.


I had a ton more influences to add to this, but I pared it down to the essentials. It was tough, but it needed to be done. And this map is me.

I just screwed around in GiMP for half an hour attempting to make my own, but I gave up because I'm incompetent.

My influences are pretty easy to chart anyway. In descending order: Grant Morrison, Kurt Vonnegut, Joss Whedon, Douglas Adams, Jack Kirby, Doctor Who, Raimi and Campbell, Pegg and Wright, Bill Murray, The Barenaked Ladies.

Very interesting, Tim. How much can I read into these images? Is "The Coyote Gospel" your quintessential Morrison comic?

Timothy Callahan said...

Well, yeah. Plus, my name is in that issue!!!

Justin B said...

"And the name Grant Morrison meant nothing to me." You've come so far :)

My whole career has been an attempt to make up for my youthful ignorance.

At least you don't have a letter in the back of Youngblood.

I do have a letter in the back of the Liefeld Hawk and Dove, which is about as close as you can get.
