Yenny is a daily webcomic by Puerto Rican comic artist David Alvarez. It started in 1988 as a comic strip named Zacha & Anyelín in a Puerto Rican town newspaper. For years she appeared in several websites until it became known among comic strip fans.

[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. A minor sideline is Yenny's immense ticklishness where even deodorant cause her insane torment and pedicures often given by the blonde darling Penny.

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 byUniversal Press Syndicate's GoComics and it's published inside magazines in the Spanish language area specially in Puerto Rico's leading newspaper 'Primera Hora'.

[edit] Family

Her mother is Yunissa, who was separated from her father for quite some time. Once he came back into their lives, her mother got pregnant with Yenny's youngest sibling. She also has a twin brother Yomar, who makes semi-frequent appearances in the strip. He's a quiet man, who is apparently an attractive one as well, considering Yenny's nemesis Margot's attraction to him. On the March 31, 2008 strip, it was revealed that Yomar may not be Yenny's twin brother.
