Breathed admits that his original style was heavily influenced by Doonesbury, occasionally even to the point of accidentally ripping off punchlines. (Apparently his relationship with Garry Trudeau has been rather strained because of this, although I'd hope that they've gotten over it by now.) Breathed discusses this in, I think, the last Outland collection.
