      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.

      Artists create their ancestors. We see Wright though Seth, Frank King through Chris Ware, Harold Gray through Chester Brown, Dan De Carlo through Jaime Hernandez.

      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.

      Is it Brown's intention to clue people in about Gray? Gray is much more universal than Brown, plus Brown's intentions are more complex than pastiche curator. Seth, not so much, of course.

      New works in a tradition change how we view/interpret older works. See Jorge Luis Borges' essay "Kafka & His Precursors."

      Borges is a false prophet

      No, Borges is making a basic point that we don't ever experience a work of art in isolation but in relation to our experience of other art.

      We experience more in relation to ourselves id argue.

      Both. But even there, having living artists who are our contemporaries engage with older works or be visibly influenced by them is part of "ourselves." It's an experience.

          Yes, and a non-exclusive experience. There are other paths to Jesse Marsh than through Los Bros, but that was the first lens I viewed his work through
