Phillippe looks weird anyhow. What's weirder though, surely, is that a potato sliver can talk in the first place (unless this is in Phillipes imagination, kids do this sort of thing)

Really? Phillipe seems like the antithesis of Calvin to me. The way the french fry speaks is just like Woodstock!
Having said that I think Bill would be mighty proud of Achewood too. I wonder if Onstad is a C&H fan?

Very different children yes, and the fry does speak in those little shrieklines, but the arc seems to me to be about philippe's imagination rather than a talking french fry. Calvin's a clever, crafty sometimes vicious boy who as such relates to a stuffed tiger. Philippe on the other hand has a blast conversing with a stick of fried starch.

Fair enough, there are resemblances to Calvin in terms of a little boy with imagination. But in terms of style I think this strip is directly referencing those strips with Snoopy and Woodstock. I may be wrong though, it's been a while since I read Peanuts.

I'd vote Watterson, just for the whimsy/cuteness, and for the times he would have an elaborate setting with just a simple joy, simply stated.
...from the mouths of babes...

When a child tells you he has an imaginary friend, do you get a grave expression on your face and cut off all communication forever?

Imaginary friends are fine, as long as the kid knows they are imaginary. Believing that french fries are completely alive is a little Mark David Chapman, if you know what I mean.

I appreciate the simplicity of an otter and his fry.
