Heaven's comedy inspirations are The Simpsons, Monty Python, SpongeBob Square Pants and Animaniacs. As a child Heavens amassed a collection of self-recorded VHS tapes of The Simpsons.[5] Heavens cites the absurdism in these shows as something that influenced the human and relatability aspect in designing the world and characters of Kiff.[6]
