She lives in Hanging Basket, Arkansas, where she battles such villains as the Litterbug, the Jaywalker, and the Businessman. By day, she presents herself as Cathy Lee Linker, a mild-mannered beauty professional who is raising a teenaged niece and dating a good-for-nothing man. Check out her exploits on Spotify.
