Thanks to all of the people who suggested new characters and voted! Goat barely edged out the Black Eyed Susan, and the love interest for bee–don’t worry, I think we’ll see those two someday (the BES is actually next to goat in the title panel).
Congrats and thanks to Jan Steinman for suggesting the goat! I’m not yet sure where I’ll go with her personality, but she’ll definitely be nicer than Wendy…

Wow. I can’t imagine a greater honour than successfully suggesting a cartoon character! (Or perhaps I simply lack imagination… :-)
Maya, Shakti, and the rest of the flock say, “Baaaa!”
Oh, there’s the small matter of “he’ll give us our own milk and cheese.” The only food a “he” goat will be giving you would be meat. :-)
I don’t know what “he” you’re referring to ;)
Thanks Jan!
Nice to finally see a goat with shoes. There has to be something special about those shoes please… waiting with baited breath.
We’ll see… :)
