[edit] Storyline

Yenny's basic storyline is as follows: At age 22, Yenny longs for a career as a catwalk supermodel. Yes, she’s gorgeous, but two things stand in her way – monumentally huge feet (whom David Alvarez has stated as 15 inches long). So instead of an apartment in Paris her home is a cottage on Puerto Rico’s Villa Los Kubos beach, which she shares with her globe-trotting mother Yunissa, her irrepressibly mischievous iguana sidekick Zacha, and a tiny, silent sea turtle named Bukestalifaro – “Buke” to friends.

Between modeling assignments and long stretches of beach-lolling and volleyball, Yenny tackles an assortment of extremely odd jobs, most notably that of babysitter to the nightmare child Cheecaca. Surrounded by an assortment of outlandish neighbors and family – Abuela Ana, who is determined to conceal her granddaughter’s skin beneath 19th-century clothing, longtime nemesis Margot, her best friend Tomato, and the tan-averse Blanko Goth Girls – Yenny and Zacha manage to bring cheerful chaos and confusion to their lovely corner of the world on a daily basis.

Today it is syndicated by Universal Press Syndicate's http://www.gocomics.com/ and it's published inside magazines in the Spanish language area specially in Puerto Rico's leading newspaper 'Primera Hora'.
