Nowhere really... I developed the facial features myself, but the upper body, arms and hands are kind of Penny Arcade-ish I guess which is a style I try to stay away from, because I've been accused quite a few times that my style look too much like them... Where as the legs and shoes I designed with Clerks in mind... :)

Nothing wrong with borrowing parts of people styles, I take some things from PA as well (mostly how I draw legs) but I suppose it less obvious cause I have my own stuff thrown in as well as other artists
It's part of being a cartoonist.

Love everything you've done so far. The only thing I'd change is Billy-Joe's Eyes. If you think of Greenday's Latest Albums, the band took a (shit) political edge and he started wearing eye makeup. Just add some thicker line definition under his eyes to make that 'Guyliner' feel.
