There She Is!!
 (Korean: 떳다 그녀!!)
 is a Flash cartoon series produced by a three-person team and hosted on the Korean website SamBakZa.
 The cartoons became particularly popular during the spring of 2004 when they were exposed to American and European audiences.
 The series is originated from Comic strip 'One day'(Korean: 어떤날) which has been published from November 2000 until March 2002 on Braille newspaper 'Newspaper that we read together'(Hangul: 함께 읽는 신문) that is published by Korean newspaper Hankook Ilbo.
 The series is noted for its classic manhwa style elements and its high-quality animation.
 The first "There she is!!"
 generated a large amount of positive feedback from its online audience, including fan art, which drove SamBakZa to produce more cartoons in the series.
In Charles M. Schulz's comic strip "Peanuts", Snoopy was often stated to have seven siblings.
 Five appeared at various times in the strip: four brothers, Andy, Marbles, Olaf, and Spike; and one sister, Belle.

 According to the 1991 TV special "Snoopy's Reunion", their names are Molly and Rover; however, their appearance is not considered canonical in the comic strip.
 In the June 6, 1959 comic strip, following the birth of Charlie Brown's sister Sally, Snoopy remarks that he has no brothers or sisters, and is an "only dog."

 I was one of eight puppies."
