For some reason what she is doing just bugs me! I grew up with Calvin and Hobbes and it just bugs me that she is taking Watterson's work and all she did is change the hair color and names and then makes the claim that she came up with the idea and calls it her own work!
I saw this posted on Facebook this week. Someone is selling a deviation of Calvin and Hobbes with a name that isn't even creative (Malvin and Cobbes). Is this infringement and would Watterson or Andrews McMeel Universal have a right to shut her down? She is selling them under the premise that she created these images!

How about changing the characters?
