    They're both riffing in Garrison for sure, but Kelly comics satirizing conservative political cartoons actually predates Ben Garrison. Seems the Onion has been publishing them since 2006

      Kelly's shtick is a satire of political cartoonists in general, who as a group lean right. I'd say Garrison's idiosyncrasies don't have all that much influence. Even the excessive labelling is just a genre trope.
