This looks cute. What's it got to do with C&H?

OP

[(Anonymous)]

It tries to do pretty much everything Calvin and Hobbes tried to do. The characterizations are different, but it's easy to see Calvin's influence on Phoebe and Hobbes's influence on Marigold. It's got the zany humor, the commentary on childhood, the commentary on societal ills, and even the poetry, and none of it's quite as good as the original. (The one major change is character growth--while Calvin was static, Phoebe grows and learns, and even Marigold has had some surprising realizations about herself.)

I actually read several panels since making that comment, and wow, I pretty much completely agree. It pales in comparison to C&H, but I can see the influences easily, and on its own I think it's cute and enjoyable. Thanks for making this secret and hooking me up with it!

Also, based on where I found it, I want to ask: is it a newspaper comic? because I read those in my local paper when I can and I've never seen this one.

I don't think it runs in newspapers. Which is odd, because it's on Gocomics, and I thought newspaper comics were their thing. (For instance, they run Doonesbury and Frazz.)
