You're A Good Man, Marten Reed
Tova:
Certainly, they are two very different comics. However, I would guess that the common element that has made people draw comparisons between the two comics is that they feature protagonists that each serve as their comics' punching bag.
There are probably other analogies (e.g. Faye <=> Lucy), but as LoveJaneAusten says, they are fairly shallow ones - perhaps interesting to think about, but perhaps not too deeply (and we all know how these forums like occasionally to overthink things :angel:).
I'd say that the red haired girl doesn't have a physical counterpart in QC - instead, she is Marten's goals (never seen, frequently longed-for, but never pursued directly).
That's all I've got for now.
SomeCanadianWeirdo:
How about Marigold as Marcy? Or rather Marigold is probably what a a Marcy conceived in the 21st Century would grow into, a sociallly awkward nerd girl. I can imagine Marigold and her equivalent of Peppermint Patty losng contact at some point, say one of them moving away, or even just going to a different junior high or high school than each other. She never really makes another best friend like that, and as a result ends up being a loner who finds a life online that acts as a substitute for real world interactiions.

Eh, that doesn't fit Marcy at all. I followed the comics and even though she was mousy and had her glasses, she wasn't at all socially awkward. She just made friends outside of the "main" peanuts group; she has an extensive number of close friends in France, as well (she is fluent in the language).
She's smart, yes.
But socially awkward? No...
