A second vote for Phoebe and Her Unicorn. I need to add the quibble, though, that unlike in Calvin and Hobbes, Marigold is unquestionably real. Images where she makes weird faces ("Curse you for introducing a unicorn to the concept of selfies.") are particularly adorkable. There're also lots and lots of ugly-cute goblins (everything they say sounds like slight variations on "Blaart"), and Phoebe's arch-frenemy Dakota. Phoebe's dad, a systems administrator, is secretly cool (so he says).
Considering that one dictionary definition of "carry on" is to "behave or speak in a foolish, excited, or improper manner," the designers of that famous poster, "Keep Calm and Carry On," need to make up their flippin' minds!

Ethan Howell: I knew this day would come. That one day, you would ask about the BEFORE TIMES. It was a dark and brutal age, when typewriters roamed the land and IGNORANCE and BOREDOM reigned. It was VERY DIFFICULT to waste time watching videos of cats.
