To cartoonist Jim Woodring, Green's autobiographical work "has never been surpassed". Woodring's own autobiographical work in "Jim" draws from his dreams rather than his waking life. British-American cartoonist Gabrielle Bell sympathized with Brown's approach, which she described as "talking about his feelings or his emotional state when he was illustrating it with striking images that were sort of absurd or a weird juxtaposition". Green's influence extended overseas to cartoonists such as the Dutch Peter Pontiac, who drew inspiration from "Binky Brown" and "Maus" to produce "Kraut" (2000), about his father who collaborated with the Nazis during World War II.
