I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how olivia jaimes’ nancy basically follows from calvin of calvin and hobbes. It’s a good tack, and mostly I’ve been thinking about how few other comics have really followed that sort of vein of childish ego since. Nancy ends up a bit different because she doesn’t have such a reliable foil as hobbes, but her relationships to her other classmates is better supported and works with larger stories than calvin’s, like, two named classmates.
