It may seem odd that Stewie looks and sounds absolutely nothing like the rest of his family, but not when you remember that Seth McFarland steals other peoples ideas. He doesn’t even have the decency to alter them the slightest bit. The cartoon above is called "Jimmy Corrigan, the Smartest Kid on Earth", and it was drawn in 1996, three years before the premier of 'Family Guy'. Artist Chris Ware created the character in 1991. In 1999, Entertainment Weekly magazine wrote this:
Comic-book fans have been buzzing about a certain familiarity they've noticed recently: namely, that Stewie, the football-shaped-headed child who loathes his mother and invents diabolical weapons on Fox's Family Guy, bears a striking resemblance to a comic-strip character: Jimmy Corrigan, the Smartest Kid on Earth (right), a football-shaped-headed child who fears his mother and invents things to escape from her. Chris Ware has been drawing Jimmy since 1991, creating a series of comic books called the Acme Novelty Library. A collection of Jimmy's adventures will be published by Pantheon next spring. Says Ware, "I don't want a book of seven years' worth of my stuff to become available and then be accused of being a rip-off of Family Guy."
