I think H and Andrea are becoming more divergent as H accrues more of his own history. Originally, it seems to me, Last Cereal was a vehicle for emotion, the narrative secondary to that. It was not a story _going somewhere_. Now it is becoming more of a vehicle for narrative.
The narrative was always there, but the emphasis is shifting.
In this, I feel it has lost some of its relevance for me. Plus, of course, my life has moved on. No component has been examined in isolation.
It is, however, early days yet for the fourth series and probably too soon to comment. But in the earlier Cereals, it feels like nearly every strip could have stood alone.
