One of my favorite comic strips is One Big Happy, which is about a hilarious little girl.
The best part is "You have the right to rename science." You have to love a child who keeps up with her poststructuralism.
I think there's something so queer about Ruthie and her tree Suzette. I don't know, I can't quite put it into words.
Most of the daily comics are absolutely hopeless when it comes to popular music (anyone read Curtis?), but obviously Ruthie has a pretty good handle on it.
I've got a bunch more of these I'd like to post, but I don't have the time right now. So there might be a part two.

Maybe I'm reading too much Virginia Woolf, but, yes, there is something immensely queer about Ruthie and Suzette... something about Ruthie's sense of admiration for Suzette...
Sometimes I think that Ruthie has a crush on Suzette, like when she calls her "honey." But more often, I think that it's like Suzette is her child. Like, why have a kid, right? That's for straight people. Ruthie's just going to have a tree. It could have been a cat, but instead it's a tree.
