Silly Question #28: Was Clone High cloned?

Is it possible that the depiction of Holiday Island High School on Daria's "Depth Takes a Holiday" had any influence on the later appearance on MTV of Clone High? I don't know if this question has ever come up before, but it began poking at me a while ago. Holiday Island High was better done, I think, and rather less offensive.

A number of fanfics have made use of the wormhole behind Good Time Chinese, and there have been a few Daria-related stories about various students at HIHS. I know it's perverted of me to say this, but Holiday Island High could support a few more fantasy/SF/weirdo fanfics as a micro-sub-genre of fandom. Think of all the holidays that haven't been covered yet! What if they came through the wormhole and bugged the Fashion Club? That might be a hoot. World Turtle Day could ask Quinn out for a date!

Okay, I tried. Think about it anyway. Could be fun.
