Backstory

The joy of Sandy is that she’s clueless. She remains loyal to her old owner despite being repeatedly abandoned by him.

Look who it is!

Of course it was Sandy all along. After guesting for the previous two summers, here she is in her new role as one of the strip’s regulars. By popular request I may add….
