Pansy Hunks was a “known associate” of Jenny Everywhere according to a wanted poster about her. (PROSE: Wanted for Questioning)
Behind the scenes
Pansy Hunks, better known as “Mammy Yokum”, is a recurring character in the iconic long-running satirical American comic strip Li'l Abner. She is a deceptively tough old lady, the principled and no-nonsense matriarch of the Yokum family, best-known for her catchphrase “good is better than evil because it's nicer” and her tendency to solve issues with a right uppercut that characters rarely see coming from an old woman and pillar of the community such as herself.
With Pansy Hunks being her maiden name, the suggestion in Wanted for Questioning seems to be that Jenny Everywhere knew Mammy Yokum in her youth, before she actually married Pappy Yokum.
For unknown reasons, she is the only character whose name is given in full on the “wanted poster” in Wanted for Questioning instead of only giving the initial of her first name.
