Okay, you’ve all become so jaded in this digital, online world of ours that a publishing nexus (leggings) just wasn’t notable enough to draw a single comment. I may be taking this thing way, too seriously!
So, why couldn’t they get Peach out to the dump? Is she allergic to the outdoors? Too busy sewing? Did Jules Rivera only come to the realization at the end of the week that she had not explained why Peach didn’t accompany them? So the “cliff-hanger” here is: What is Peach doing that she couldn’t come along? Finally, I think Rivera doesn’t have much faith in Cherry, because Cherry doesn’t look as stressed out as Rivera suggests in panel 4.
Quick Quiz: Just to see if you’ve been paying attention to the strip for a while, what is one of the most significant (if subtle) changes in the dialog from the pre-Rivera era? I don’t mean just today or this week. I mean since Rivera took over.

What is one of the most significant (if subtle) changes in the dialog from the pre-Rivera era?
I’ll take a stab. Some characters, especially Rusty, offer witty (sometimes) or sarcastic commentary. There’s an increased use of internal dialog. Characters acknowledge the absurdity of certain situations. Characters on occasion will break the fourth wall.
Overall the strip is far less about conservation. It’s more of a quirky slice-of-life comic strip nowadays. Rivera often takes the campiness and goofiness a bit too far.
