I like Doug Wright's work, but I feel closer to it than I would because a) I like the awards named after him and b) he reminds me powerfully of Seth, who I have grown to really treasure as one of the great North American cartoonists over the last 5 years or so.

But Jeet, can I tell you, and I know you'll disagree, but my first Jeet Heer was your introductory essays in the Gasoline Alley books, so I always think of you and Frank King together :)

Jeet, I remember you saying this once on Inkstuds maybe 10 years ago and not a day has gone by since that I haven’t thought of it.

We see Harold Gray in Chester Brown (esp. in Riel) because it's an explicit, unmistakeable reference. How is that 'creating an ancestor'?

Because that reference, and the exposure and contextualization to new audiences, makes them a sort of curator of that artist's work. Especially Seth and Doug Wright, to American audiences.
