Some interesting and thought-provoking choices. I'm an Australian citizen and I find Leunig a pretentious, fey lightweight who drew a dozen or so good cartoons about fifteen years ago which he put into a book. I bought that book. Leunig has been basically living off that book in the way that Kraftwerk have been living off "Autobahn" ever since. That’s more like it. Some interesting and thought-provoking choices.

I hope you'll keep this going as a regular feature. I hope you'll include cartoonists from all mediums(strips, editorial, web, magazine, etc.). I always enjoy any form of interview with cartoonists... Great topic, Alan. I hope you’ll keep this going as a regular feature.

While the focus is cartoonists, I recognize cartoonists are artists who may derive their inspiration from other art forms.

Keep it up. The inclusion of Daumier makes me wonder...I know he's a caricaturist and cartoonist as well as a painter, but how wide a net will the list makers be allowed to cast? There is a book full of Van Gogh's sketches which, to me, look not out of place as an illustration or comic strip background. Van Gogh is of course known as a painter, but could you include those sketches as an influence? Just curious. Great list and great feature. Keep it up.

I'm not familiar with some of those people, but of those I recognize they ARE the cream of the crop. That’s a pretty definitive list.
