Another big influence on those guys, who should be checked out by anyone into that style, is Gene Deitch...an animator and cartoonist from the 50s. YOu can check out his book here http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1560975261/qid=1123441017/sr=2-1/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_1/102-2951229-5617762
Biskup also admits to being heavily influenced by Disney artis Mary Blair. I love Biskup and Shag, but mostly because they remind me of the people that influenced them. It's good to see them keeping that style of art alive.
