    “Comedy. Now, that’s hard.” – Famous quote from somewhere; recycled a dozen times over.

    I have a feeling that this is part Sandra, part Oliver in this one.

    I checked in just a bit ago, and the strip wasn’t up. (It goes up about 8 pm where I am) Was this a “Oh we forgot to do a strip” strip?

    Funny though. I love this comic.

    @ Mort. There is no more 4th wall anymore.

    “Dying’s easy – comedy’s hard.”

    At the end of the movie “Looney Tunes – Back in Action”, Wile E. Coyote finds himself driving a train in a tunnel that has just scooped up about two tons of dynamite with lit fuzes from the tracks.

    He looks out at us, and holds up a sign that says “They don’t pay me enough.”

    That’s the thing about being a cartoon character. If you’re not funny enough on your own, your universe conspires to MAKE things funny (whether you like it or not)

    Being a child isn’t easy it seems.
    After you’ve finnished your homework you still have to do something funny to fill your role.
    No matter what it takes ^^”’

    But in this case it wasn’t on purpose…
    ( Who/Woo pranked her? I’m a bit confused. )

    But seriously, when I had finnished my homework it was almost evening too T_T
    Thank god there were Weekends! Fridays FTW!

    A question occurs to me: Who placed the bucket?

    Hahaha, buckets of laughter. :D This strip made me laugh twice, I remember homework in high school would keep me up that late and I’d be like “oh damn!” cause I had to be up at 5AM for the bus. Ah memories. :)

    Hey, Sandra, at least you’re a comic character and not a TV character. They have to be funny repeatedly for the better part of a half-hour. You just have to be funny once for a few seconds.

    When you’re doing something good,people will have high hopes for you whether you like it or not.I think this is a resounding example of that.

    @ AFDad: I don’t believe “damn” qualifies as a swear word anymore. Unless the child’s family is very Christian, which isn’t the case with Sandra.

    Plus I think she’s saying worse things in Failures of Man Kind. But we can’t be sure, that’s part of how artists work around censorship.

    AFDad, the fact that second graders can appropriately point and say “OMG! You said the ‘F’ word!” means they know a lot more bad language than they let on. The very fact this phrase exists shows that children are quite foul mouthed in private. And what moment can be more private than when you’re in your room, all by yourself?

    Even now I feel sorry for Sandra. Not because of the bucket but because it looks like she is writing an essay or something (I know the pain too! So… Essay… Arrgh!). Though I might feel sorry for her if that really did contain lemon aid.

    And… How old would Sandra be? If its 8 (and sometimes younger) or older (I’m thinking older…) you can bet that she would know (and use) words far far far worse than “Damn.” How do I know? Younger siblings. And that’s a harrowing enough experience without the swearing.

    Hey folks, no disrespect intended. Sandra and Woo has all the qualifications that a comic strip needs to be picked up by a syndicate for distribution in newspapers. My comments were purely for the writer. (whose work I admire.) If possible, I’d like to encourage the team who does this comic get rich and famous. with their art. That is what it is all about after all. Who knows, maybe Powree and Oliver could be the next Chic Young, Charles Schultz, V.T.Hamlin, Hank Ketchum, or Harold Gray.

    Love to Powree and Oliver, and to you all.

    As far as I’ve seen, when a comic that deserves to be in the paper (and I have to admit I’ve thought Sandra and Woo does) actually ends up in the paper, it doesn’t tend to stay there very long. I guess it’s for the best; the Internet is a different medium with different “rules”.

    Don’t know what Powree and Novil think, though.

    AFDad – Your sentiments are appreciated, I’m sure, but the syndicates aren’t really the goal for most comic artists anymore for a number of reasons. The first reason is the syndicates themselves. Syndicates manage dozens of comics each and they all get many submissions by many cartoonists on a very regular basis. They generally don’t lose comics very often, and when they do, they have many artists scrabbling over each other to fill that void.

    In addition, Newspapers are floundering to find a place in the digital world, grappling with an aging readership that is not replacing itself with younger readers, and competition from news websites that have lower overhead and faster news cycles. Even before the advent of web news, comics were suffering, what with pressure on Comic Page Editiors to fit comics into an increasingly tight space to in order to provide more content without sacrificing ad space.

    These days, the most successful comics are operated independantly of the syndicates and published on the internet. While far from a utopia that embraces all artists and gives them the means to pursue their vision, the internet still is turning out to be the best option for many people who want to create comics, as online they’re free of the content and size restrictions or the deadlines that newspaper comics are forced to adhere to. And since there is little or no barrier to entry on the web, even if it doesn’t work out there’s still nothing to keep you from getting a fair chance at finding your goal.

    When I was about Sandra’s age, me and my friends would say a lot worse things than “damn”.

    I just read a review for the up-and-coming “Fantastic Mr. Fox” movie. Seems that it’s heavy on swear words. (For some odd reason.) Instead of being colorful, every swear word is forewarned as being “cuss”.

    The review tells that the movie drives this one second joke into the ground and into the center of the Earth. (Good grief!)

    So…I say, let the damn F’n language fly free!
