Okay, perhaps Mark and Cherry actually do have more than one house, because this is the first I have ever seen of a two-level Trail cabin (with a stone foundation, yet)! And we’ve never seen the Trump cabin sitting on a slope, either. I’m gobsmacked.

Also curious is the changing imagery of Peach’s ex-boyfriend, Rick the Poacher. For example, here is Rivera’s first version of Rick (12/17/24): Decidedly more blonde, certainly younger looking, sporting a different nose and ears. In short, a really different face! And a different drawing style. Can I explain this? Nope!

On the other hand, Rivera’s pun in panel 2 is better than her normal puns. Well, Rick sounds pretty determined, but will he be able to demonstrate he is a rehabilitated man worthy of Peach’s renewed attention? Gads, I hope this doesn’t turn into rural version of Mary Worth.
