Chris Ware started Rusty Brown the week after he finished Jimmy Corrigan but he already used the characters of Rusty Brown and Chalky White in this page.
"The week after I finished the last page of Jimmy Corrigan I immediately started a new long story based on characters who had originated as parodies, but whom now I wanted to humanize… amidst a setting of memories of my Omaha childhood and Nebraska upbringing." (Chris Ware, Monograph)
