(Yes, I ripped off another click-bait headline because I was too tired to think of anything better.)

Today Rivera makes a timely, strategic pivot back to Cherry and her sisters who are once again setting up shop at the local farmers’ market. (The last time they did this, Peach Pitt’s psychotic boyfriend showed up and caused a scene that Cherry’s brother Dirk had to settle) I’m not sure why Cherry is exhausted with setting up jewelry, since it looks like her sister, Olive Pitt, is taking care of it. And it looks as if the t-shirts are already hung, as well. Still, I reckon it’s nice of Cherry to volunteer. No?

Side note: I bet there are some of you out there who probably think Olive’s punchline in panel 3 would have been better had it stopped at “You sell better when you’re hopped up.” But we here at ThyTrailBeDone like to maintain higher standards, so we abstain from using R-rated humor.  Okay. Maybe “standards” is too strong a term. And “higher” is really relative, based on where you are standing and what you are looking at. But it is aspirational!

Getting back to the strip’s current activity, I wonder if is this going to be a continuation of an existing storyline or the start of a new one. The last storyline was about the peacock owned by Violet Cheshire’s mom, which escaped just before a big dinner event for which Cherry had been commissioned to create a cage for said bird. Mark engineered a trap to catch the peacock, which was then taken by Honest Ernest to return to Violet. And that’s pretty much where things stood. So far, no word on the fate of the cage, the dinner event, or the peacock’s impression on the friends of Violet’s mother.
