![[0027] Major Mistake](http://www.sandraandwoo.com/comics/2009-01-22-[0027]-major-mistake.png "[0027] Major Mistake")
Cloud, one of Sandra’s schoolmates, was first mentioned in this strip, but not actually shown. So, now you can see what he is looking like. Cloud is one of the main supporting characters of Sandra and Woo and will appear frequently in future strips.
- Ralph: Bad news for you, wimp. I’ve lost my mp3 player.
- Cloud: Oh, I’m sorry for you. But why is that bad news for me?
- Ralph: Cause I’m gonna take your instead, dimwit!
- Peter: Uh oh, Ralph, as if it weren’t stupid enough to threaten Cloud… Haven’t you seen that he’s carrying a sword?
- Ralph: Moron! That’s not a sword; that’s only a plastic knife from the cafeteria!
- Ralph: Enough talk! Now hand over your mp3 player before things get ugly around here!
- Ralph: “Only” was maybe the wrong word…

Okay, a few nits to note. If I remember right, Cloud was male (per the prior strip – panel #3 Woo refers to Cloud as “him” without being corrected) and the person threatened is female. The strip infers the girl did all the damage. Who is the girl? And where is the word “only” used before the final panel?

@Cairn:
Where is it implied that the person being bullied is female? He looks a bit feminine, yeah, but other than that there is no reference to Cloud being a girl. Thus, the constant use of “he” and “him” is accurate.
“Only” comes from “that’s only a plastic knife” in panel 2.

He’s not feminine looking … he’s just a bishonen!

I stand corrected. Funny thing is, if this were real life, guess which kid would be in trouble? Can you say “Cloud?” Bullies are acceptable, even as thieves. Kids using weapons get expelled. Even in self defense. Weird, but true.

Just found this from an ad on Sandusky. Nice comic. Read through the archives and looking forward to more.
@Captain Awesomesauce: (sounds like you might be a Sheldon fan), question, whats bishonen? Not in my dictionary. Does it mean young boy?
“Funny thing is, if this were real life, guess which kid would be in trouble? Can you say “Cloud?””
Yeah. But wouldn’t it be also a bit of a comic stereotype if it’s Cloud who gets into serious trouble now? Ozy and Millie has done this more than once. Maybe there will be such a storyline sometime in the future, but this time there will be no follow-up strip(s). Maybe Ralph is just too embarrassed about his defeat to talk to anybody about it.

Hnnn~ Reminds me of school. In a matter of facts, 5 days ago.
Still, gotta love the small pose of Cloud holding that plastic knife.
I used a spoon… No knives around.

Niiiiiice. I like this “Cloud” kid. I get the feeling he’s going to fit in well with the current cast.

@ lynnskay: “Bishonen” is a Japanese word that essentially means “beautiful boy”. Wikipedia or tvtropes.org both have good descriptions if you want to know more.

…Oh-la-la! XD I like the kid-he seems to have accepted the fact that FF-obsessed parents can be worth the trouble. I’m happy that he’s one of the supporting characters!
But now I wish this were updating everyday! XD Can you at least make more strips of amazing swordmanship? XD I’ll save every one of them!
Well, anyway, keep up the good work and see you next tuesday!

I used to play the card game “Spoons” as a child. (Look it up in Wikipedia) One day we ran out of the plastic spoons we were using and went with plastic knives instead — to similar results!
NEVER underestimate plastic knives!

Lynnskay: Google is your friend…
Also the only person on the web with a feminine-sounding name of their own not to have a favourite “bishie”?

Also, is that sushi he’s eating, or a sausage?
Protip, kids: Don’t leave your mp3 out on the bench. Some dude at my high school was desperate enough to steal a £5 tape walkman I had… in the days of CD discmans… it’s just an unneccesary risk.
“Also, is that sushi he’s eating, or a sausage?”
Looking at my large original, I can confirm that he’s eating a sausage. Makes also more sense since it’s a meal he’s gotten from the school cafeteria.

His name is Cloud, he has mad skillz, and an Edward Elric haircut.
Epic lolz. :3

Could would be in trouble IF he got caught. Given that this is an obvious case of bully karma I am sure none of the kids saw anything. Bullies tend to start things when teachers aren’t around.

This reminds me of the first game in the Mother series (a.k.a. EarthBound Zero). The first weapon of the physically most powerful character in the game is nothing more than a mere butterknife.
Which he promptly uses to mince rampaging alien robots into clouds of fine particles.
I was actually following S&W a while back, but I lost track. Rest assured, this time the track will be kept and guarded fiercely.

Hmm… I wish I could keep a straight face and calmly beat the crap out of a bully with objects from my cafeteria. Instead I go into a blind rage that ends with me crying (for reasons unknown even to me), the kid either bloody or beaten (I just broke his nose I swear it wasn’t on purpose), and both of us getting suspended. And after beating a bunch of bullies to near unconciousness they still don’t learn that I may be a pudgy, feminine nerd, but I can beat them down anyday (I’m not a girl I’m just less masculine than other guys ex. I dislike sports and like shojo and chick books… don’t judge me).
Anyways great comic keep it up… now I’m gonna go read the rest… or fall asleep whichever comes first.
