Cartoons and comics - what is their influence in pop culture?

Working in advertising means instantly creating directed ideas. To do that good one has to read a lot, watch a lot.

And my hypotesis is that reading many comics, watching many cartoons and films, reading many books, listening to many different music styles in childhood rather heavily influences instant creativness.

We have a brief to tell something. But tasks are quite complicated, since brief significantly narrows the field for ideas.

And co-workers I have worked with (in different countries for the last 12 years) - introverts or extroverts, lovers of comics and the ones that read and read a lot are much faster coming up with neat ideas.

Interesting?

What do you think?
