Happy Birthday to George Booth

People often ask me who are my favorite cartoonists.  They're a bit surprised when I don't name off the usual litany (Calvin & Hobbes, Peanuts, Far Side).  It's not that I don't enjoy these cartoonists, they just aren't the ones I seek out.  Today's birthday is significant for me, because George Booth of New Yorker fame, is the single greatest influence on my work.  I love his frazzled drawings filled with the befuddled and clueless characters.  When I saw George Booth's artwork, I knew this is what I want to do - so blame him.

Happy Birthday Mr. Booth!
