Mabel Martínez, heroine of Penuelas' latest work in progress, has escaped from the pages, Roger Rabbit-style, in apparent despair over her creator's inability to advance the story.

"Didn't we talk about this?" she asks Monica, pulling her aside for a wayward bra strap. "If your top is pink, your bra can't be black or blue!" Monica is dismissive, laughing about fastidious friends who spend 20 minutes doing their hair, 30 minutes on makeup.
