Nomenclature
- Sandra: Does that mean that we keep the raccoon?
- Richard: At least for the time being… First of all, we have to give him a name. Mr. Farley was… uhm… tied up when I left and didn’t tell me his name.
- Sandra: Well… what do you think of Wilbur?
- Richard: I dunno. How about Ted?
- Woo: Ted would be truly okay. As long as it’s not Rascal. Calling a raccoon Rascal is worse than calling a cat Pussy.
- Richard: No, wait! I’ve got it!
- Woo: Dear God, please don’t let it be Rascal!
- Richard: Let’s call him Rascal!
- Woo: Be damned, Sterling North! Be damned for all eternity!

were you inspired by woo tales? http://floppitycomics.xepher.net/
It’s very coincidental, the raccoon being named woo also. I’m just curious because my mind wants to make them the same character. Is Woo as common a name for raccoons as Rascal?
“Sandra and Woo” was not inspired by “Woo Tales” or vice versa.
Although the artwork of “Woo Tales” is very cute, the comic just doesn’t appeal to me and, after having a look at it, I don’t “get” the storyline of its predecessor. In fact I don’t care at all about Kat Smith’s Woo or her other characters and any similarities between the two Woos concerning their looks or their personalities are purely coincidental.With a second look at it, “Woo Tales” seems to get a real storyline instead of the motley drawings of its predecessor, a development which suits me.

Hey! Comic is lookin’ good. We should do a crossover someday, might be interesting. ^_^
Hello Kat,
Hmm, with a second look at it my first post was maybe a bit harsh. I didn’t want to give the impression that I think your comic is “bad”. The artwork is very good and I am sure that your comic appeals to a lot of readers, but it would be a lie if I would say that I enjoyed the storyline.
In fact, I believe that this “issue” can be good for both of us! For example, if someone points out to a reader that there is another comic featuring a raccoon called Woo, he might end up reading both comics. And getting new readers is always a good thing. For a start, I have included a link to your comic on our link page.
Guest strips are one thing which are problematic on our part since I could only do some “ghostwriting”. Anyone who is interested in a guest strip would have to ask Powree first and she is *very* busy.

Hey that’s cool, it’s certainly not for everyone! No worries about the guest strip thing, I’ll probably fire some fan art your way in the future though.
It’s a real relief knowing that you’re cool with being on good terms, I’ll slap a link on my site as well.
Cheers! ^_^

Conspiracy! JK
I like both comics and I [probably wouldn’t have mentioned anything if I hadn’t found them both on the same day/hour.

This cracked me up. I loved “Rascal”, it intorduced me to the world of books. Raccoons have been my totem ever since

Is it also a coincidence that the person who tried to name him Rascal has the same last name of the person it’s referenced to…? <_< I’m wondering if that was an accident or not.
