the babysitter when Wanda and Darryl go out and leave their children behind. She is sometimes even tricked into babysitting for them. Recently, she is shown wanting to find a partner and start a family. In one series of strips she is shown to have an online relationship with gentleman named Thom, who called her Linda (He said "I love you, Linda") and caused her to throw wine at her computer; she broke up with him. Hugh and Maggie Wizowski: Wanda's parents. "Mac" and Pauline MacPherson: Darryl's parents. Darryl gets his big nose from Mac. Keesha: Zoe's best friend and neighbor. She has medium skin and black hair in braids and is about the same age as Zoe. Dziko: Keesha's younger sister and Yolanda and Mike's youngest daughter who is a toddler like Wren. She doesn't appear as often as her parents and older sister. Her eyes are less wide and more circle shaped like Wren's. Trent: Best friend of Hammie since kindergarten. He and Hammie like to do many weird things together (especially to annoy Zoe). Another character of the same name has appeared as a friend of Zoe on May 6, 1997. Bogart: The oldest son of Butch and Bunny. He is Zoe's age, which is currently 9 years old and he has short black hair. Ashley: Ashley is one of Zoe's friends who has black hair. She has an unnamed pet gerbil and is an only child according to Zoe. In her first appearance, June 20, 2007, Ashley makes it clear that she is a snobby rich girl (i.e.; saying that the MacPhersons' house was small, asking Zoe if they picked the wall colors for the house, thinking Wanda was the maid). In both the first and last comic strips of the story, Zoe admits her reason for inviting Ashley was so that Wanda and Darryl would appreciate how nice she is. Mr. Doyle: Zoe and Keesha's teacher. Dr. Joseph: Dr. Joseph is the MacPhersons' doctor who has blonde hair and a big nose similar to Darryl's. Bethany is a friend of Zoe, who is never seen or heard and is only mentioned by Zoe.

Bryan Barge is a boy in Zoe's class who was first mentioned by Zoe on March 5, 2011, as the boy she likes, but does not know she exists.
