On the first point, I'd love to show more of Cherry, Danny, et al, even have a few ideas. But not much time. Seems like the only way to get the line drawing done at my day job now is to di a double shift.
On the middle point, the more Sarah got involved with the pack, the more she's hang out with a)"the Poodles" (the two out gay males in the pack) or b) the Pups (the few pre pubescent kids the pack currently has)
On the last point, that's dependant on the notion that women aren't the dominant party in the surrounding cultures as well.
