She later wondered if she did the right thing or not. Zoe MacPherson: The oldest sibling (name pronounced ) (first appearance January 7, 1990; her birth starts the strip), age: 9. She tends to fuss the most over what Wanda does. She likes to blame things on Hammie a lot, even when she was the one who actually did something wrong. She is also a major tattletale, to the point of getting withdrawal over it. Originally, her middle name was Jennifer, but a strip dated April 9, 2007, identified her middle name as Madison. Zoe is not usually a brat but an average child. This is represented when she is shown playing with toys, watching children's shows, playing with other children, and not having a clear view of the world earlier on in the strip. She, Hammie, and Wren do not have any known cousins because the only aunt they have is single and has no kids. At one point early on, she was a huge fan of Barbie, though her ideas about how she is a fan of Barbie vary between wanting to become a real life Barbie when she grows up (with Barbie related items) or basically using her to beat up her toys while pretending that she's some sort of monstrous freak (the latter of which was because of Wanda referring to Barbie as a "freak of nature"). She has a teddy bear named Christina Candle Flower Sparkle Jelly Bean Kissy Mooch. Hamish MacPherson: The middle sibling, usually called Hammie (first appearance April 29, 1995), age: 7,. He has great fondness and uninhibited enthusiasm for trucks, and can tell their model by sight, as proven in several strips. He has freckles and his hair is black like his mom's. He is the only MacPherson child who isn't a redhead. He did not have freckles until the June 14, 2006 strip. His first words were "buh-dozer" and "bazooka," much to Wanda's dismay. He often likes to tell Wanda or sometimes Darryl when Zoe teases or bullies him, but generally he gets mad less often than Zoe. He also likes annoying Zoe or watching her get into trouble (without doing anything himself). He was named after his great-great-grandfather, who was called "Ham". His teddy bear is called Twuck. Wren MacPherson: The youngest sibling (first appearance October 26, 2002), age: 2. She does not seem to be as much of
