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?

brain is muscle too, i call it. by reading/watching/listening to one's brain-mind-imagination works. so creativeness is just the matter of continuous training :)

I agree with anonymous. But that is what I am trying to say - they need to train by watching/listening ... For that you can not just wait so that it gets to you. As a creative you have to continously read/watch/listen. You have to know what is new (alternative, underground, new wave art ...) what is semi old and what is old and all in between. But for ones that were doing that since childhood is much easier. But constant training is necessary.
And my hypotesis was that people that read many comic books, watched many cartoons, are simply quicker in getting the right idea.
Right or not?
