Lois Pennycandy is the executive assistant to Krusty the Clown. In an
early appearance, it's implied she has a crush on Krusty, but this is
never really explored in subsequent seasons, as the character fades
into the background. She has a somewhat more developed role in the
Simpsons comics, however.
She swayed Krusty into visiting Bart, who saved Krusty from jail time
and later reunited him with his estranged father, the Rabbi Hyman
Krustofski. She was at Krusty's side during the auditions where Robert
Terwilliger became Krusty's new sideshow, and was at Krusty's "funeral"
when Krusty was presumed dead after crashing his private jet into a
cliff. In a phone conversation with Marge, Marge asked her, "How can
[Krusty] hurt someone who loves him so?" Pennycandy replied, "Oh, Mrs.
Simpson, I've wasted my womanhood asking that same question", while
looking at a framed photo of Krusty the Clown.
She did show an aggressive side when answering an angry letter from
Bart in response for the constant rebuffments. She forced Krusty to
read the letter, but remembering Krusty was illiterate, she surmised it
as "the boy who never lost faith in you has lost faith in you!" She
demanded Krusty have dinner with the Simpsons that evening or else she
would resign immediately.
At a charity bachelor auction for the Springfield Fire Department, she
combined her bid with four other women to share the same bachelor.
