Happy Fourth of July, everyone. As happy as you can manage, all things considered. I meant to have this done sooner, but things are tough all over. My computer keeps crashing, the weather keeps crashing, the country keeps crashing, and I keep crashing. Lots of crashing.
Still, I'm happy that I get to drop this latest addendum to Zandra's lore on a holiday. And what's more appropriate for today than spending time in the back yard playing with your kid? Yes, that last drawing of Clarity and Zandra having a horsey ride was so cute that I finally decided to make Pony Zandra canon! For years her adorable miniature equine shape has been a mere April Fools' Day tradition, but now I officially clarify that at some point she does indeed attain mastery of this alternate aspect, a trademark of mature Nefastis.
Hope you get a kick out of this, everyone. And have a nice time today. I'll encourage you to stay indoors, but in any case try to be conscientious by continuing to exercise social distancing, masking, and hand washing. And remember, fireworks are neat but they scare the Hell out of dogs.
- Joe

I've been enjoying Zerba Girl as a staple of my youth for decades. These aftermath strips are lovely treats I never expect but absolutely enjoy. I hope you're doing OK.

I have tread your web comic for years. I have commented here and there but under different names (I think, it has been a long time). Be safe. It’s oct 2020 now. The 27th to be precise. I hope you are ok.

You picked the day of a lunar eclipse. I thought that was on purpose. If not, great coincidence. :)

Thank you Joe.
I'm probably going to have a great day today, and yet this will still almost certainly be the pinnacle of my day. Starting me out on a high note. You're the best.
Stay safe, stay socially distant, but don't ever leave us!

Is it just me or did anyone else become a bit scared of how powerful (and at ease) Zandra has become?

Oh, yes. By this point she has become a professional epicenter of fear.

Finally. The Girl has become the Zebra.
The circle is complete.

I am moving, and found an old harddrive. On it, some older comics I'd followed in college back in the early 2000s. Wouldn't you know it, Zebra Girl is still a thing! Missed this sorely, tbh. Can't wait to go see what all I've missed, and maybe put these old backgrounds on my phone... at least the ones without nipples ;-) Take it easy, Joe. And I think the last email I have on this drive was a reminder to mind the belly button lint, too.

Always sound advice, Jeremy! I'm glad you found us again. Take care of yourself, and I hope the move goes well!

What a perfect way for a mother to play with her daughter. Zandra makes a magnificent horse.
I just this day discovered the epilogue and of course had to stay up to read it. A perfect end to a wonderful story. As a Muslim I was happy to see you acknowledge Eaid. As a trans woman I appreciate your concern for us in the tale of Mike/Michelle. The though of wizards helping us in our journey is a wonderful one. You have created a world I would love to live in and it is a grand gift you have given us.

Oh, yes. They're made of cloth, but she's proud to wear them whenever possible.

Come by on a lark, November 27, 2020. Hoped there might be some nifty tidbit...a bit of afterstory. Thank you very much for the tidbit. Sorry I didn't stop by when you gave it to all of us...but it was awesome all the same. :D

Glad you stopped by. Glad you still like what you see! Yeah, I've done a few of these tidbits now. They're in the archives right behind this one (I moved the title card out of the way). I'll probably do more! Maybe they'll lead to something else, someday.

I came back because I was feeling nostalgic, and to my happy surprise there's new stories, that I didn't read before. I wish you happy holidays, and hope that next year will be better then this one.
