You might be wondering where Zoey is and the answer is she's in her own arc and we're now in another~! I'm trying to do something similar to the bachelor party arc where we have two stories going on, but instead of having it be one arc I'm doing it as two distinct arcs. I want to tell both of these stories and depending on which feels like it needs more attention on a given day will determine which of the two that I address as a strip. This arc has big changes for several characters that I'm excited to get to as it'll set them up for the coming year, and perhaps longer. And it lets me use some characters that I've been wanting to give more panel time to. So that's always a plus!
