![[0118] A New Adventure](http://www.sandraandwoo.com/comics/2009-12-07-[0118]-a-new-adventure.png "[0118] A New Adventure")
The current story arc started with this strip: Two Pieces of Cake.
All the mentioned events and names are entirely made up.
- Sandra: Have you ever heard of the big jewelry heist in our town 20 years ago? Steve Parker and Mitch Carlson stole jewelry worth several hundred thousand dollars. The two burglars were caught in Boston later, but Steve was shot during the arrest. The loot has never been found!
- Sandra: “And now here’s what I found out: Just one year after his release from prison, Mitch was arrested again! This time for trespassing and assaulting a guard on the company site of W. Miller’s old tool factory. Shortly afterwards he died in prison from a heart attack.”
- Guard: Hey, what are you doing there!?
- Sandra: As you may know, the factory has been abandoned for years now. I say, let’s take a look around there!
- Cloud: That sounds like a great new adventure. I’m just hoping…
- Cloud: … your crazy coon won’t come along.

I like the idea of looking for the buried treasure – even or especially if there isn´t really one there (because Sandra is really quickly jumping to conclusions here – and if there was a treasure, wouldn´t others have found it in the meantime?). I just hope Sandra didn´t make up the entire thing.
That being said… the wording sounds strange in a few places. Even if Sandra planned the statement and is now just reciting it. How would they know about the heist… was it a local jeweller? I think usually the jeweller or the place would be named. But English isn´t my mother tongue, so maybe I´m wrong.
Ambi says: I just hope Sandra didn´t make up the entire thing.
No.

Of course she did. Have a look at the last strip before this one.
How would they know about the heist…
Online archive of the local newspaper, for example.
was it a local jeweller?
Yes.
I think usually the jeweller or the place would be named.
Huh?

Well, if it was the local jeweller then the kids would know it and without needing more information. I´m looking forward to where you´re taking this story.
I have added “in our town” to Sandra’s first sentence to make that more clear.
Ambi says: Well, if it was the local jeweller then the kids would know it and without needing more information.
No, because it was 20 years ago.

If only he knew that the “crazy coon” could understand everything he’s saying. =P

Now if the “crazy coon” could accidentally speak to Cloud, we could see Cloud go over the edge believing he has gone crazy himself.

There lies great potential for the funny in this arc.

I hope the crazy coon does tag along, it’d be funny to find out the jewels were still there but some woodland creatures had moved into the place, found the loot and were using it to snazzy up their dens…Uh oh. I hope I didn’t guess right.
Ummm…Ignore this comment!

The “crazy ‘coon” is obviously comming along; I don’t think you can talk him out of it after he’s gone through all the trouble of finding a bullwhip and a fedora hat.
And good job on the drawings of Mitch Carlston. You can tell its him in the second pannel, despite his face not being shown in the first, and he even looks 20 years older!

Even if they did find the treasure, they couldn’t really claim if for themselves, could they? I would think it’d still technically belong to the jewelery store.

I guess the part about ‘trespassing’ was quickly forgotten for the part about possible ‘jewelry find’

@Moxieman: You know, if Cloud does find out that Woo can talk, it’ll be one less secret Sandra’s keeping from him. And if they’re the only two humans who know it, they’ll be that much closer together….

If they leave Woo behind, who is going to keep Larisa company?

All depends on the usage there, dude. Getting upset about things taken out of context without checking the original is always a sad idea.

Having a raccoon come along would be excellent Cloud! They can look in so many places and stick their paws in so many crannys that it can only be better with him along. I have a feeling that Woo would like shiny things and I can’t wait to see what will happen next! I just hope they don’t get separated in the building from a floor giving way…

Hopefully it’s a haunted factory with all kinds of interesting abominable jack-o-lanterns and stuff. :-]

Oddly enough, in Boston, they have a bunch of old tunnels under the buildings. A group of people held up a bank in the mid 70’s I think. Nobody knows where the loot is. Supposedly it’s somewhere in Boston still.
