So Carrie appears to have negotiated a settlement with Zinger.  What are the details?  We'll find out soon.

By the way, to clear up some confusion from the previous comments (I know, it's been a while since I've introduced the characters) ... Mr. Mighty and Jane are the parents of Summer and Steve.  Carrie's dad is John, the guy with the pot belly & broken nose (he showed up back here).  He and his wife broke up when Carrie was about six years old.

Whew, what with home repairs and holiday visitors, drawing time has been in short supply.  Posting this the Saturday after Thanksgiving, which my wife and I have designated as "Do Nothing Day".  I gotta get my fanny out of this chair, I've been here for a few hours.

The Season of Economic Stimulus is upon us!
