Zoey was the third character introduced to the cast back very early in the run of strips, but I've never shown her without her hair up in her dual pigtails and in at least some makeup. I didn't want to have her done up in her traditional look as it's supposed to be the butt crack of dawn after George has gotten back from the night of dealing with the zombie Santa deal... I wanted to show her when she's just around her apartment... a little more relaxed. Originally I wasn't going to jump right into the next storyline, don't worry it's a lot shorter than the Santa arc...
