From "bonkus of the conkus," I confess I also find that funny

Judge Parker, 7/27/24

Hey, remember how Neddy's fiance was grumpy about some kind of family business drama? Well, big news: Sophie's not-boyfriend's brother, who's also not her boyfriend (ha ha, but what if...?) is also involved in some kind of family business drama! Now, are these the same family and/or the same drama? It doesn't seem possible, based on the details as I understand them, but on the other hand, why would this strip inflict two separate boringly vague Spencer Girls Get Entangled In Family Business Drama storylines on us? Why would they do that to me, personally?
