-After turning in her first script and seeing how Manny had heavily edited and jazzed up her story, she kept having second thoughts about wanting to continue working for him. She despised the way Manny sensationalized the true adventures of the real life heroes and villains featured in their stories. She was further frustrated by the way he lied to [[Crackerjack]] the one hero who agreed to an authorized license with Bulldog Comics. Manny even skimped on his royalty payments.
+Her first script was heavily altered and jazzed up by Manny, giving her second thoughts about pursuing further assignments.

 Sally tried beefing up her stories to mimic the "house" style of Bulldog comics, yet still they came up a bit short and required significant editorial changes by other writers.  Still he kept giving her fresh assignments. Noting that it couldn't be cost effective, she wondered why he persisted in working with her.

-Inquiries with Eli Gavin, Manny's right-hand man since the 1960s, provided her with insights into how Manny formed Bulldog Comics and why he was ousted(fired) from Rampart Comics. The more she heard, the more it stirred up memories of how she felt reading Manny's comics from her childhood.  It awoke a passion and desire to recapture that same excitement in her comic tales.

 A few months later at an [[Astro City Comicon]] while viewing a panel discussion featuring Manny and other editors, the supervillain [[Glowworm]] attacked. He was angry at Manny for portraying him as a racist in several Bulldog comics stories. In real life, he was in fact a black man before the freak accident that enabled his super powers. In his rage, he beat and burned Manny badly and was intending to do the same to other Bulldog employees including Sally and Eli. Fortunately [[Samaritan]] captured him first.

-Laying in the hospital bad, Manny was already back in high spirits and had called Eli and Sally there with new idea; a line of cosmic books. It would be about the major heroes and villains of the cosmic nature and people who wouldn't give a "gnat's fart" about ordinary humans. Sally didn't know what emotions to think at his audacity after surviving what he just did and still wanting to continue.
+Laying in his hospital bed, Manny was already back in high spirits and had called Eli and Sally there with ideas for a line of comic titles featuring characters of a cosmic nature. Entities who wouldn't give a "gnat's fart" about ordinary humans. Sally remained amazed and perplexed at Manny's attitudes and audacity after surviving what he had just experienced with Glowworm.
-Six months later, the Cosmic Action books were the top selling books and Sally was riding high. She'd even talked with the [[Flying Fox (Samantha Cronin)|Flying Fox]] about starting a new book about a hero just starting out. But one morning while on her way to the Bulldog offices, the Bulldog building had completely disappeared with Manny inside. Sally felt a faint smell of ozone, which she thought may have been a "gnat's fart."

-One of Manny's rivals, Bob Cottonman, was already asking about what books they had in the printers or even getting Sally to help create a Manny Monkton tribute issue, but after thinking about it, she quickly declined.
