"(Mandy is) a bit of a cliché, no doubt about it; but cartoonists deal with instantly
recognizable types all the time. The secret is to twist that cliché enough so that
it seems fresh. So here goes: Mandy is a gorgeous, sexy young woman who is not
aware of how she affects people--she’s basically an innocent. She does not dress
glamorously, or in an attempt to be sexy, but whatever she puts on just comes out
that way. The proverbial potato sack would look like one of Victoria’s best-kept
Secrets if she put it on. She is guileless, not to say ‘clueless’--she isn’t the
stereotypical ‘dumb blonde’, she just has no agenda, no wish to deal with anyone
except in a straightforward, honest manner. Unfortunately, she assumes that everyone
else feels the same way, and it’s not often the case. And this can get her into
trouble from time to time. Nevertheless, she shrugs off disappointments and goes
on with her naiveté and optimism intact. She’s also remarkably clumsy; but she
manages to pull that off as a sort of grace. She may look silly, but she never looks
bad. She loves the outdoors, and animals. In fact, she’s sort of a modern day nymph,
although with clothes (usually...well, often. Okay, sometimes)."--Dean Yeagle at Bellefree

interview at Naked Tunes "(Mandy is) not a model of any kind (note how she always seems surprised at being in a picture). She would be terribly embarrassed at being actually pictured in Playboy...yet she does pose, nude, for local art classes. For Art's sake. And she has a number of jobs that allow for flexible hours - roller-skating car hop at a retro diner, dog-walker, bicycle messenger, soaper at the car wash, etc., so that she can continue her studies with the oboe, sculpture, and Medieval French poetry."--Dean Yeagle at Bellefree |
