agreed and i think this applies to all artmaking as well. newer artists and especially aspiring board artists occasionally ask me for advice and one of my first and most emphatic points is to go far, far outsidr cartoons when intaking art. no media or concept is irrelevant

Read something other than comics before you try to make comics.
Don’t get me wrong, read a SHITLOAD of comics. But also read prose fiction, non-fiction, biographies, textbooks, encyclopedias, and other kinds of books.
Comics inspired only by other comics are not good comics.
