Quite nice to see updated Sandra in Giz's art style, too.

Being in France, perhaps Sandra would be the only acquaintance capable of speaking fluent Franglish with DiDi. Aha

To extrapolate further on DiDi's claim that she is "happy" that Sandra didn't become her girlfriend - well, it was also during a time at which both still identified purely as heterosexual (if I recall and paraphrase the joke, "too straight women with serious boundary issues"), so DiDi's comment is her usual standard of nonsense. Zii's internal remark was amusing, though her problem with timing is more often than not her own fault.

Zii has hit the nail with her head on this one...

Considering Sandra’s new look this seems to be taking place after she flew back to Paris.

If there was anyone still shipping her and DiDi that boat has sunk. I’m not all that sure it ever could’ve worked unless Sandra could drunkenly give DiDi an orgasm.

Now Zii and Didi are FINALLY going to have their talk. But with only six updates to go will Peggy and Gary still have their talk?

Hmm, looks like Sandra is back to work there. I wonder if it's just for Domenico or if she's doing other work.

And it also looks like she has regained her resoect for Zoé.

If DiDi ever succeeds in wrestling, then between her touring and Zii's band, they'll never see each other. That's enough to end even a healthy, stable relationship. I'm more convinced than ever that Zii and DiDi are about to split up.

Wait wait wait... Sandra's return to Paris was after a timeskip of a year or so. Where was this huge timeskip in Ma3 if the two are (still) meant to be in alignment?

Wibbly wobbly time; I guess that there was a fair amount of time spent with Peggy and Gary getting to know one another and Zii painfully trying to polish her new band.

Not sure of the need to interject Sandra back into the strip, other than the set-up for Didi's stating that she was glad Sandra and her did not hook up due to the long time spent apart. We already know that Didi and Zii are going to have a rough time. We already got several strips of Zii feeling sorry for herself and her feeling anxious. Less dancing around the subject, please. Having Zii be direct, I feel, is the better way to go. Not even because of 'six' or whatever amount of strips are remaining to finish telling the story. It is just that matter of this amount of import really need to be discussed. Ripping the proverbial bandage off rather than prolonging the pain, basically.

If Didi is the one, then she will still love her and want Zii to be happy following her musical ambition. If Zii loves her, then she will understand Didi's climax frustration and will have to come to some sort of accommodation that is mutually acceptable. I know that with matters of the heart things get complex; but, the formula seems pretty clear.

The questions are: specifically how, and, will they succeed? Was Sandra's 'mentors matter' drop a hint?

As to Sandra, I like Giz's rendition of nouveau Sandra.

Sandra also said mentors matter so this may be in the future in the Sandra on the Rocks timeline since it appears that she reconciled with Zoe.

Add Zii's likelihood of cheating while on tour and DiDi's toddler-like attention span, and their prospects of remaining a couple look even worse. The only way I can see this working is if DiDi gives up her wrestling ambitions (and her waitress job) to go with Zii on her band tour. Which I could see DiDi offering to do, and Zii having to talk her out of it (while crying internally about losing her own personal groupie :)) )

Hasn't Giz said that they've given up on a standard page count for the final book and will just have as many strips as it takes to wrap things up properly?

Giz mentioned that they might go past #1500 but we don't have confirmation that they will do that.

I never really had a problem with Didi until I started reading this forum, tbh, but now I see it all the time. This was super rude of her. Imagine telling your girlfriend, "Oh, I'm happy such & such didn't become my GF...because SHE TRAVELS TOO MUCH." Not because, "I prefer you" or anything, nope, she just doesn't want to put up with the absences. My god, Didi. Priorities.
