on October 3, 2015. Other characters Lisa Day: Jill's best friend and the mother of three children: sons Danny and Noah, and third one yet to be identified. Early in the strip two of the children were named Matthew and Katie. Lisa has a struggling marriage and recently separated from her husband. In the fall of 2013, Lisa studied to be a teacher and was a student teaching in Jess's junior high school. Nanci Raymond: Jill's friend who is an assertive and ambitious mother of teenaged twins. Her current second marriage is to David, the elderly father of a former beau. In July 2014, she gave birth to her child with David, a son named Ben. Grandma Sophie "Kvetchy" Tetelbaum: (deceased) Rob's old-fashioned Polish grandmother, who lived into her 90s, enjoyed reminding Jill about the virtues of being the ideal homemaker. Jill found these reminders annoying. Grandma Sophie told her great-grandchildren of leaving Poland when she was a little girl before World War II while the remainder of her family was murdered in the Holocaust and every Yom Hashoah she lit a candle for them in their memory. She was afflicted with Alzheimer's disease and resided in a seniors home until her passing on January 24, 2018, effectively writing her out of the strip. "Perfectville": The "perfect" next door neighbours across the street from the Kaplans. They do everything right, seemingly without effort, from their pristine lawn to their always appropriate housewarming gifts. Perfectville refers mainly to the overachieving, African-American mother (real name is yet unknown). Despite her friendliness and well-meaning advice, Jill is both envious and amazed by her neighbour's ability to do it all and to do no wrong. In helping Jill to prepare for Amy's bat mitzvah party, Perfectville revealed she was once a CEO for an advertising agency until her firstborn came and she decided to give up the working world for motherhood, plus that she got fired for blowing a $2-million account of one of her former firm's clients and runs her own party-planning business. Judy (aka Jill's Mother): Jill's widowed retiree mother residing in Florida with her live-in boyfriend, Harv at a retirement community. She often complains of the ailments related to old age to Jill with grotesque details. Deb Lowell: Another friend of Jill and working mother. Was part of her circle of friends early in the strip, but has not been seen
