Impact
Doonesbury comic-strip creator Garry Trudeau cited the strip as an early inspiration, saying: "[A] very heavy influence was a serial in the Sixties called 'Phoebe Zeitgeist' ... It was an absolutely brilliant, deadpan send-up of adventure comics, but with a very edgy modernist kind of approach. To this day, I hold virtually every panel in my brain. It's very hard not to steal from it".[1]
