See below. The background, especially, on this piece reminds me of some of the retro comic artists that seem to be referring to old printing processes -- Chris Ware's Jimmy Corrigan stuff is a big one. Very precise and orderly, not quite Deco but it puts me in mind of 1930's newspaper illustration for some reason. What you have going here doesn't strike me as quite florid enough to be pure Nouveau -- in my very limited knowledge of art history -- but it's a nice hybrid and I'd love to see you do more in this style.
Besides, it'll keep you from doing something nasty like a Daniel Clowes or Peter Bagge homage -- although I will note that if you did an anarchopunk riff, like Seth Tobocman or Winston Smith or Peter Kuper, Rik would probably [brings you in close and whispers lurid details] until you [mumble mumble mumble] and had to do laundry again.
