It stars Yenny Lopez, a sexy but short-tempered Puerto Rican girl who dreams of becoming a top model, but fails because her feet are too big. Despite all the Fanservice, the series mostly features Looney Tunes-type humor (Alvarez also used to draw DC Comics' Looney Tunes series). Other characters include: her mother, Yunny, who is as sexy as her daughter (and even tougher); their sarcastic talking pet lizard, Zacha; Yenny's best friend, Tomato, and her rival, stuck up rich girl Margot.
On Halloween, 2011, Dave announced that Yenny's run on GoComics would end and he would no longer seek a supporter for a mainstream syndicated comic strip run in the United States, let alone an animated project, citing executive meddling, racism toward the people of the state despite them being an official commonwealth area of America, and fear of a sexy Puerto Rican lead role being a bad role model for audiences. He will continue her adventures in full-page volumes instead of daily comic strips. However, Dave later announced the daily strips would be continued by another artist if he had to find one.
The entire collection of Yenny comics from 2003 to 2011 is now archived to be bought at this website

Yenny contains examples of:

- Chupacabra: One time when working at a rainforest, Yenny was abducted by a chupacabra and only saved thanks to the timely arrival of The Greys, who vaporized it. And then they subjected her to Tickle Torture...
- Crossover:
- For a full week in Baldo, Yenny communicated with that strip's title character via the internet.
- Yenny also had a crossover with The Flintstones. It was All Just a Dream, though.
- Dating Service Disaster: Yenny meets a guy online who claims he "looks like a movie star". He looks more like Yoda, and only comes up to her knees.

- Invisible Streaker: Yenny became one for a week in October and November 2005.
- Relationship Upgrade: In the early strips, Kelso had a crush on Yenny and the strip played up his nervousness and awkwardness around her as much as possible. They have since become a couple, and then broke up, and then Kelso hooked up with someone else.
- Shoe Size Angst: Could be considered the main trope of the series, Yenny's feet are so big (18 U.S. mens) she is often teased by others, namely Zacha and Margot, and hindered in her attempts to become a professional model. Ironically, her feet end up gaining a huge fanbase on Facebook, efficiently leading her to become a foot model.
- Shout-Out:
- There was a strip where Yenny dressed up as The Spirit.
- In one of the early strips, Zacha hides inside a teddy bear and comes bursting out like a xenomorph.

- Super-Scream: In an April 2006 arc, Zacha gets on Yenny's nerves by bragging to her about Kelso, but upon seeing Kelso behind a rock, Yenny shouts for him so loud that she causes a giant earthquake in Puerto Rico, which even injures her badly so she was delivered to the hospital. A few days later, when Yenny is playing with Buk the sea turtle, he bites Yenny's toe and she shouts loudly again causing another earthquake and goes back to the hospital.
- Talking Animal: Zacha is Yenny's pet, a Deadpan Snarker talking iguana.
- Theme Naming: Yenny, Yunissa(Yunny),Yenny's mother, Yomar, Yenny's brother and Yessy, her baby sister.
- Tickle Torture: Yenny has the most sensitive skin in the world, with her feet being the worst, and the birthmark on her left sole pushing this up a notch. This was played for all the fanservice/humor possible in the early strips.
