[0110] Pie
└ posted on Monday, 9 November 2009, by Novil
The current story arc started with this strip: Child Labor.
Last Thursday we broke the fourth wall, today we buried it and next Thursday and Monday we are going to trample on its grave. 
- Sandra: Hey Woo, have a look at this funny political slogan Cloud and I came up with.
- Sandra: Oh yeah, right. No political or otherwise controversial topics…

Pfft. xDD
This is funny in it’s own right, just because so many people complained.
Another strip that actually made me stop to think and still managed to be funny. Good job!
Buckets of water, pies, what’s next? *Gasp* pianos???
By the way, where did she get the pie from? And the pie tray? Was the banner wrapped around them?
Clearly, the pie represents humanity’s desire to impose its will on the world around it. The splattered filling is obviously a metaphor for the scattered dreams and beliefs of the world’s population, and the crust shows the semi-firm set of ideals and morals on which the framework of our lives is built. The plate, meanwhile, shows the solid basis of politics, raised in defiance of the events unfolding nearby; yet it can support the pie of morality only so far, before the hand of free spirit whisks it into the face of nature.
Or not. Probably not, actually.
I really want some pie now.
I’m glad you’ve finally gotten back to your roots. This is how the comic should always be. Like it was from the beginning. Totally.
I love where this is going. Can’t wait to see what evil organization has altered the fabric of Sandra and Woo’s usually substantive reality.
the perfect PUNCH line!
you know that this IS controversial and awsome?
I have a simple philosophy in life :
Follow your happy.
Glad to see Sandra and Woo follow the same.
How ironic that this is social commentary.
It would seem that Powree and Oliver read the message boards? It’s a vice we all participate in from time to time.
Because, as we all know, controversial topics have NO place on the internet
i think they should continue with their critic to society but with humour like this, its funny if you want it to be it, and also with serious aspects
i relly wish i knew to draw
So awesome how you can take life’s little annoyances and… shove a pie in their face XD
You have some real subtle snark here XD I love it. Sandra and Woo remains one of my favorite comics, whether you talk about the world today, serious issues that need attention, or just about a girl and her talking raccoon.
Controversy is for the weak! It takes a real comedian to laugh in the face of political correctness XD Keep on going, I can’t wait to see the gravedance on the Forth Wall.
Funny. In a way it’s like throwing a pie the reader’s way as well.
Mmm, pie.

This reminds me of an interview I heard with Paul Rodriguez discussing Mexican humor. He said it’s pretty pathetic. You can’t make fun of religion or sex because of the influence of the Catholic Church, and you can’t make fun of politics because there are some touchy primos who can make you disappear if they don’t like your material. So either you’re stuck telling old school My Wife Is So Fat jokes, or else get into surreal slapstick, the kind hinted at by the Bumblebee Guy sketches on “The Simpsons.” Though once at a Mexican restaurant I saw a TV show that looked like a blend between a soap opera and “Punked.”
What a way to please everyone! Everybody like a pie to the face and no flame wars over something stupid, like political views! I’m being a little sarcastic here but it is very funny how Sandra and Woo go out of there way to be “politically correct”; especially after the Halloween comic ( witch I loved BTW!)
The Internet: It’s serious business (We have pie!)

Smart move running as far away as you can from politics/religion. They always seem to get in the way of humor. VERY smart move. I take it the writer recently joined Mensa?
Or possibly could be taken as a tribute to the recently departed Soupy Sales? More pies for everyone!
I sense a reaction against previous shoutbox discussions… I got a chuckle out of it… Oh, and how dare you be political by not being political?! I’m going to tell you off in the shoutbox now :p
(I like that Sandra and Woo can sometimes find humor in touchy subjects [without getting preachy] and in random silliness. A diversity of types of humor make this comic interesting.)
Woo’s so happy to have pie on his face! YAY!
Heh. I like controversial topics, though excessive preaching does get on my nerves (if I want propaganda I can go to any number of other websites… and get a good laugh out of them too).
Personally I am more then content to watch as a comic goes the way the writer(s) and/or artist(s) wish to take it.
And on that note: I also like irony (except when it happens to me). Therefore I also like current comic.
It’s the way that the pie is falling apart. But, it makes Woo look like he just acquired a clown outfit. So awesome!
@Yappy Dog: DELICIOUS!!!
I pretty much share Sandra’s grand mom political view.
This strip does have political commentary. Commenting about how political commentary is seen as controversial is still commentary.
OMG she is SO cute in panel 3

Wolf in Bears Clothing (its the last thing they’d suspect)
@ Yappy Dog:
Excellent use of symbolism!
? oh wait i get it now. ha ha!
I’m reading two possible meanings into this, depending on just how ironic one is being.
And it all hinges on whether the last panel is supposed to depict actual humour (wouldn’t be a stretch for a German)… or a mockery of common depictions of humour… Heck, it could even be a little of both.
But the intent of that last panel changes the entire tone of the strip.
The difference between the former, where the meaning overall would be more sincere… or the latter, where the strip is basically a sarcastic counterattack at the “no more politics” commenters.
Either way… fine by me.
I like a bit of uncertainty.
