It's important to start off on good terms with new players in your group.

Yes folks, it's time for another player. Last time we did this - to introduce Sally - we ended the previous strip with an explicit break at the end of a game session. Although this strip does mark the beginning of a new session of play, we didn't bother to mention the end of the session in the last one. That level of explicit detail would just get tedious after a while. It's not terribly important to the actual story where one game session ends and a new one begins, so we're going to glide through them fairly seamlessly. Mostly.
