Some of the comic strips which were significant influences on Arriola as a working cartoonist included Fontaine Fox's Toonerville Folks, Al Capp's Li'l Abner, Walt Kelly's Pogo and Ernie Bushmiller's Nancy, the latter of which earns a cameo in this self-referential strip from February 10, 1952.

Toonerville Trolley (Toonerville Folks) was a newspaper comic strip from 1908 to 1955. It was created by Fontaine Fox of Louisville. It is said to be inspired by the Brook Street trolley, which was a short line often getting used or shabby equipment. Brook Street runs parallel to I-65, on the east side of northbound I-65. This trolley ended in 1930.
