Sandwich Bandits

These two masked heroes are making 100 sandwiches to help the homeless.  Oddly, they'll sit on the couch and starve before they grab a bag of pretzels for themselves, but they were really excited to do this.

Power Outage

When you're stuck working from home and have several video conferences each day, finding your computer didn't charge overnight and your charger cord has mysterious puppy-sized bites through it is not a good thing.  In fact, it's a really, really bad thing as chargers apparently no longer work without the wires intact. 

If anyone has any information that could help me identify the villain who chewed up my wire, please send it to Olive. She said she would take the lead on this investigation, but she wasn't hopeful the perpetrator would be caught.
