O Aniversário Dos Signos is a story arc from the Monica's Gang comic strip. Its name means "Birthday about the signs", as it involves zodiac signs. Samanta makes her debut appearance here.
Plot[]
The story begins as Mónica Souza celebrates her birthday and her friends Magali, Cebolinha, Cascão, Franjinha, Denise, Do Contra, Nimbus, Jeremias, Titi, and Luca come over so she can have fun by their side. Samanta, a young Bruxinha, crashes the party with a magic spell when she arrives, and the kids and Mrs. Souza suddenly meld with elements of their Zodiac signs.
Chaos ensues, but Mónica manages to talk Samanta into fixing the damage. Samanta then leaves when she is picked up by her mother, who is a full-fledged Bruxa (witch).
