The one where wedding photographers are a plague on humanity.
Synopsis: We get the bog-standard joke about being told to act naturally when the wedding photographer makes things really awkward.

Did I miss the strips with Deanna's sister in them? I don't remember her at all.

Andrea Sobinski was never mentioned by name in the comic strip. Her son Sean was a demon child, but he was mentioned by name. Andrea did speak 3 times and after the wedding, she was never mentioned again, except in Deanna's monthly letters.

Lynn's Comments:
The lesser offence of being a hollow snob:
Gordon Mayes was the first of the “guys” to get married and I wanted it to be a small family gathering. Together, these two families could not afford a big wedding but it was a great day nonetheless. Gord and Tracey would be a solid couple with a very positive future.
hides the greater offense of confusing that size of the wedding with the success of the marriage.

Tracey barely is permitted personhood in the strip. But sure, Lynn tell us what a "solid couple" she and Gordon turn out to be.

Lynn's measures of a "solid couple" are based on an old standard. They have kids that turn out to be nice kids and not demon children. They stay married. They do whatever the Pattersons want them to do. However, in spite of Gordon's eventual great wealth, you never see him do the kind of charity or community work that Rod Johnston did in real life.
Where I live, the big car dealership guy is constantly donating money to some kind of local cause, because that is the expectation. We see none of that with Gordon. His quality of character is measured entirely from his business and his loyalty to his Patterson financial backers.

Like a lot of thoughtless people, Lynn doesn't really get the purpose of charity. It looks futile to her and she blue-pencils Scripture in the same way a lot of right wing goofs do when they aren't supposed to.
