The Anxiety of Influence

For me, it was Firefly. I'd been doing schlock mercenary for a year and a half. And somebody said, oh, there's this new series on Firefly. And it reminds me so much of schlock mercenary, you should totally watch this. Yes. But I'm glad I wasn't watching it because I would have taken some of the things that I love most about Firefly, and I would have put them in my strip."
