Woo had a small cameo today (Sunday, 18 July 2010) in the newspaper comic strip My Cage by Ed Power (his My Cage blog) and Melissa DeJesus:

I know that some German readers prefer the English version of Sandra and Woo, so I want to repeat this message to our German readers on our English site:

——

In diesem Jahr wird im Rahmen der Sondermann-Preisverleihung auf der Frankfurter Buchmesse zum ersten Mal der beste deutsche Webcomic mit dem Web-Sondermann ausgezeichnet. Und Sandra und Woo gehört zu den 10 Halbfinalisten!

Ab sofort kann jeder registrierte Benutzer auf MyComics.de alle 24 Stunden für alle seine Favoriten stimmen. Die Abstimmung läuft bis zum 23. Juli 2010. Die vier Webcomics mit den meisten Stimmen kommen in die Endrunde und werden bei SPIEGEL-Online, Comicforum.de und in der Frankfurter Rundschau präsentiert und zur Abstimmung gestellt. Der Sieger wird dann im Rahmen der Preisverleihung auf der Frankfurter Buchmesse bekannt gegeben und bekommt das Preisgeld in Höhe von 1.000,- Euro!!

Wenn ihr also Sandra und Woo oder einem der anderen nominierten Webcomics, zum Beispiel Das Leben ist kein Ponyhof oder Union der Helden, eure Stimme(n) geben wollt, dann registriert euch bei MyComics.de:

Dan Long’s webcomic Edmund Finney’s Quest to Find the Meaning of Life does not only have an enormously long title, but is also the best comic strip (online or in print) which still gets updated regularly. Every Tuesday and Friday, to be precise. I have already blogged about Edmund’s Quest one year ago but back then it was still uncertain if this very new comic would be able to maintain its quality. Now I feel safe to say: “Yes, absolutely!”

… all she did was clicking on this image

Since the archive is still rather small a short summary of the webcomic should do it:

Edmund’s Quest is about the adventurer of the same name who’s making extremely funny encounters with quirky natives and other travellers on his trips around the world to find the meaning of life. While the concept alone is already interesting, Edmund’s Quest offers a unique style of humor, often surrealistic and sarcastic at the same time, not seen anywhere else.

So I can just say:

EVERYBODY SHOULD CHECK OUT EDMUND’S QUEST!

To my surprise I found the following great piece of Final Fantasy XIV fanart drawn by Powree at Google’s image search. I have no idea why she hasn’t posted it on her DeviantArt account yet. Maybe she will even publish a larger version of the picture if we beg enough in the comment section of this news post :

Generally, Powree does not have much time to draw pictures besides those for Sandra and Woo, but this month she has finished two really impressive pieces of artwork:

• The first one is titled Close Call (see Close Call on Powree’s DeviantArt gallery) and was the winner of the contest “Animals in Competitive Sports” of the art blog Parka Blogs.
• The second one is a Halo-inspired commission of the character Kiala Reaom (see For the Covenant on Powree’s DeviantArt gallery) by another DeviantArt user.

… the contrast between these two images could not be much bigger, I guess.
