Chapter 4 of Blanche Tickle Girl was very poignant to me. Laurel deGroot was Matt's friend who had cancer and later died. Her last name seemed vaguely familiar to me. I couldn't find it on the SFL Wiki or in Winchester Harbor. Finally, I remembered where I had seen it before. DeGroot is the last name of the main character in the comic strip, Luann, drawn by Greg Evans. Wes once mentioned that he sometimes reads comic strips online. Maybe that's where he came up with deGroot.

Heh, I read the newspaper in this order: comics, national/international news, business, editorial & op/ed and make a glance at sports. There funnies have more human interest than the rest of the paper. Dick Tracy, Garfield & others show more humanity.......
