Oh, joy! Back to Cherry’s World. But wait:  Is this “old friends week” or just “thinking up new characters and plots take too much time”? We’ve had stories involving bees, spadefoot tadpoles, rash-infected pets, kudzu, and now bats. I’m thinking that Rivera maybe should have given Doc Davis second billing instead of Cherry.

Fine. So, Violet calls in her non-secret lover, Honest Ernest, to once again bring some half-baked and harmful scheme that will set him and Cherry against each other. Maybe that’s to be expected in a small town. Should Cherry seek out more clients and possibly more story ideas? Perhaps the Sunny Soleil Society offers great medical insurance to its independent contractors. Yet good ol’ Honest Ernest is always good for a laugh, a clueless foil for Cherry’s justice.
