Guest post by "Being Useful" Yeah, basically. I don't mean that "it doesn't get dark" so much as absolutely nobody questions Sarah being Sarah.
The closest we got was her mom, and that was mainly freaking out about "How will the world react?".
Maxy, on the other hand, questions Maxy being Maxy, and openly defies that concept in every strip.
And, like I said, if you skipped like the first 100 episodes(gosh, this is a long comic, btw. You don't think about that usually), she's basically just a normal little girl with a lot of unusual family and friends. If you're only showing a single update to someone, out of context, a lot of stuff doesn't even register as unusual.
Taken as a whole, it's a great story, very meaningful, but for single-update reblogginess, Maxy wins, hands(wings?) down.
