The strip has been going on for 34 years, and it’s clear that they believe they’re found the sweet spot in the family life. Zoe and Hammie aged relative quickly by comic book time standards, but this slowed to a crawl once Wren was born. While Zoe and Hammie were both weaned, potty-trained, and in school after 12 years, in that same time period is what it took for Wren to just grow a full head of hair.
Also have to think of it in the guise that the creators themselves are getting older. As of the time of this comment they’re 71 and 68. To think of adding in a fourth child just wouldn’t work in the long run because they’ll likely want to retire before it becomes a real character instead of just a prop like Wren was for the longest time.

Maybe in a few years. Wrenn was a 2003 baby, and its 2022 now. Probably won’t happen. Wrenn hasn’t aged much in 19 years or so.

Darryl is about 44 or 45 now. Wanda is probably the same age. It’d be an interesting arc if the were to get pregnant again.

Wanda’s about 43 or 44 years old now. If she wants to have a fourth baby, she’ll need to do it soon.
