FoxTrot is an American comic strip written and illustrated by Bill Amend. The strip launched on April 10, 1988, and it originally ran seven days a week. From December 31, 2006 onwards, FoxTrot has only appeared on Sundays.
The strip revolves around the daily lives of the Fox family, composed of parents Andrea (Andy) and Roger and their children, Peter, Paige, and Jason. It covers a wide range of subject matter, including spoofs of pop culture fads, nerd culture, complex math, and popular consumer products.

I can't remember if these two ever cultivated romantic partners. For some reason I'm blending them together a bit with Zits and Luanne, but... no wait. Didn't Peter have a blind GF at one point..?
He did. Bill addressed her disappearance in his FAQ.
What happened to Denise?
People ask this a lot. Denise was Peter’s blind girlfriend and a popular character who was in the strip a fair amount until she wasn’t. Bill says her phase out wasn’t intentional but rather just came about due to a gradual shift in the things he wanted to write about and that once she’d been out of the strip for a couple years, it became awkward to bring her back. It’d be nice if Bill figured out a way to reintroduce Denise at some point, as we really liked her character, but we aren’t holding our breath.
Thanks for explaining.
Yeah, that's a bit sad, but I can understand how that goes-- at the end of the day it's still a comics / art / writerly thing more than a soap opera or such.
Maybe he could bring her back with a "I'm back from my exchange program in Europe!" reintroduction and then bring in some new angles and bit of culture from country X.
That was very much my thinking.
