The textbox is quite ironic, don’t you think? Considering Cherry and Olive both live outside of town, a drive anywhere is already a drive outside of town. Unless they are driving into town, I suppose.

When Jules Rivera took over this strip, she made Cherry a resourceful, feisty, but likeable person with the same strong family ethic as before, and having enough personality and grit to carry her own stories. In a way, that was similar to the earliest portrayals of Cherry, when she was still single and had a pet bear.

Still, Rivera’s personality edits for Cherry were a good improvement! But over time, Cherry’s personality and demeanor have changed (as they did before Rivera). She may still possess a strong family ethic, but I’m no longer certain of the other qualities. Granted, sister Olive Pitt has a troubled past and is prone to argument, physical interaction, and taking charge. In fact, she has some of the qualities Cherry used to have. But Cherry seems to have little patience or trust. She demeans Olive’s self-improvement efforts with her leading questions. Some sister!
