I recognize Frankie’s song!
I am a big fan of 60′s and 70′s music, and I was born way latter then that!
I discovered this comic 30 minutes ago through Garfield minus Garfield. Never before have I had so much fun reading through this amazing work of art. I squealed with joy with every comic with Woo in it, laughed out loud at the comic meta-references, and was completely touched by comic #16.
As corny and as weird and hard to explain as this sounds: you have filled a void in my life that I’ve been trying to fill for a long, long time. I hope you become very successful with this comic.
Thank you,
David
gasp…SAW is linked to them?
Overthinkers are jerks.
I’d just like to thank you. After seeing this comic, I searched up “I did it my way” on youtube. It was beautiful.
Sometimes, things seem different before they are fleshed out. As, all I’m getting is that different folks have different strokes and that both mediums utilize a similar concept; round discs with bumps that are read, transmitted and sounded off to the real world. (A record player, more or less, feels the physical bumps of an LP via a needle, sending the vibrations to the speaker to vibrate the sound back into the world. Not much involved along the way, as I understand it. The M$ machine reads the physical micro bumps under the plastic surface with a light beam “needle”, sending the digitized information into a series of circuits to make “sense” of what is going on, produce a complicated series of commands and read the song/game data, sending the audio portion at some point to the TV speaker for reproducing the vibration into the real world.
The game system goes a mile to create the music, forcing the listener to press buttons along the way vs. a vibrating needle sending the vibrations to a speaker for reproduction. The game is a thousand times more complicated to produce the same results, plus more, as the LP machine.
Should take a look at how an old film projector reproduces audio. Now, that IS a miracle of classic engineering. No computer at all. Just light passing through two wavy sections of varying light/dark. Depending on how much light or dark gets through, it manages to reproduce speech/noise/bird calls/noisy cities/chirping cricket nights……well, everything!
Any kid still listening to vinyl gets an automatic pass from me on jokes that might not have worked out.
I didn’t get the punchline at first, but I do now. It’s serviceable.
What’s more serviceable is Woo juggling shoes. So random, and so cute.
The delayed gratification of getting the joke (adult plays videogame, kid listens to record) is definitely a payoff as to the feeling I think you’re trying to get through beyond the joke itself. Sometimes it takes an effort and it’s worth it.
I got it on the first read. Skewed target audience. It made me chuckle. Good job!
Oh, now I get it.
Guilty. I listen to 8-tracks that are more then twice my age.
Ive been trying to get my parents to buy a converter to convert their records to mp3 since they have a lot of great songs on them that I dont often hear on the radio, so I could listen to the songs more often and not worry about scratching the records.
@CampSoup Why? Records are a lot more fun!
@davidalln: I never said they werent, they are just to fragile, and I could only listen to them at home when the record player is unburied, and with my parent’s help (and permission) so dont damage them.
I usually listen to music either while waiting for the buss or before/after class, where it is not practical (if fissionable) to have a record player and records with me.
Sometimes a comic doesn’t have to be funny. This one is, in a word, beautiful, and not just for its artwork. (Sometimes you *want* your audience to go “awww” rather than “ha ha”)
Is Sandra a reincarnated bobby-soxer?
I dare say I’ve been completely woo’ed by your comic.
(Ack! There I said it, don’t hurt me!) I love your style, and I can’t wait to see more of it!
And in addition to the market reversal, I’m looking at Woo juggling the shoes and thinking about that great line from Firefly… “Some people like to juggle geese.”
Haha, I get it anyway.
No, it’s funny. And it makes perfect sense.
It took me a wile to “decode”, but that was mostly due to my reckless reading, which always occurs with comics with me…
Not only is there an adult playing video games and a kid listening to records, there’s also a racoon using shoes.
Actualy, I get it. the juxaposition of dad being the wanabe rockstar playing Gitar hero, and the kid being into Sanatra…Marketing FAIL.
Follow-up to morrigan508.
Marketing FAIL
Subtle, but great comic humor WIN
I just discovered this strip and I love it.
Head trip.
Nuerotically yours.
SANDRA AND WOO.
Im getting into comics recently and adding ones I like to this little list thingy I have, and visiting them every day or so. Thanks for adding a third to my list!
OH i see. huhuhu quite clever~~
older man-father is playing newer games and songs meant for girls, and younger-daughter is listening to records with a song i’ve probably never heard ohohoh
Have you heard of limewire or DVDvideosoft? they are great. DVDVideosoft allows you to download straight from youtube. and it is virus free.
No worries about this comic post. I got the joke quite easily. And while it isn’t a laugh out loud funny it is a “heh that’s true” kind of funny.
I’m 17 and I, too, prefer older music and tv… I absolutely detest most of the current music, but love Dare to Be Stupid by Weird Al, Zorbas by Mikis Theodrakis, the Benny Hill theme, some stuff by Frank Sinatra, and every now and again I start singing things from “the Pirates of Penzance” and I very much preferred the original Star Wars movies… and Fawlty Towers… Monty Python, oh!
Hrm, I seem to have posted. Looks like I’m hooked
(and since it’s my first post, I’d better let you know now that I love your drawing style, and all the Calvin and Hobbes references)
I didn’t get it except that perhaps they were doing this in Target, which would be bad for employees, so maybe I overthought it. But I Did it My Way has been one of my favorite songs for years, so I appreciated that.
I just started reading through tonight, and so far it’s been charming and very clever.
I get it. And it is one of those truths that will always make sense.
The one thing I love about this particular strip is the hat Sandra is wearing. I mean it is one of the most epic things I have ever seen.
If a picture of a little girl wearing a fedora and listening to crooner tunes on vinyl doesn’t melt your heart, then you just don’t have one.
It’s a great comic if you can relate.
I fit this really well, as a sixteen year-old kid leaning toward older music styles (which is not to say there aren’t a few more contemporary works that I like). I also find “retro” musical devices inherently cool, for some reason.
My parents both prefer almost exclusively “screamo” music… I think my hearing is better than most of my generation, but maintaining that involves wearing earplugs whenever my parents listen to music in the living room. >.>
