The greatest number of named characters in a single strip is twelve, in 4316. Ignoring strips where no character appears in two panels, it's nine: 3071 and 3522 and (if Emily's unnamed parents count) 2329.
Have Ayomide and Yemisi been given a surname? How about Steve?
Can you name these people? Most are probably ‘extras’ but, I think, not all.
