![[0120] I Hope You Like Long Sentences](http://www.sandraandwoo.com/comics/2009-12-14-[0120]-i-hope-you-like-long-sentences.png "[0120] I Hope You Like Long Sentences")
The current story arc started with this strip: Two Pieces of Cake.
This strip was inspired by the famous Penny Arcade strip I hope you like text.
- Sandra: The gate is locked.
- Larisa: OH NO!
- Larisa: Now we have to wangle the keys off the old foreman of the factory, for which we’ll need the help of his housekeeper who’ll only help us if Sandra beats her in a drinking contest, which she’ll only be able to do after drinking a magic potion made of oatmeal gruel, benzoin resin and bombastium, though, the precise composition of the ingredients has to strictly follow the secret formula which a voodoo priest buried in 1926 in the garden of the White House – the one in Moscow, by the way – by the command of the barber of Calvin Coolidge inside a chest richly ornamented with runes which can only be opened by someone who’s able to decipher the clues for the solution of the complex locking mechanism encoded in the priest’s diary which is, on top of it all, in the possession of his only remaining descendant on Jamaica who’ll only be able to give it to us if we save him just in time before he gets sacrificed to Quetzalcoatl, the feathered serpent deity of the Aztecs, by a cult of radical Bob Marley fans who strive for the resurrection of their idol in a dark ritual to achieve world domination under his undead leadership.
- Larisa: Hey, that actually sounds like fun!
- Larisa: Killjoy.

What’s sad is that there are video games with much more complicated sequences just to pass a single part.

Been playing Legend of Zelda have we?The second panel is hilarious! I LOVE Larisa’s expressions in the panels (and Cloud’s in the second), the second panel is a crazy lady foretelling of doom and destruction, the third panel is her liking her foretelling of doom and destruction, and the last panel is the scowling of disapproval of the “easy” way; her face in the third panel scares me.

Geese! You can replace her voice with Yahtzee’s (Yahtzee from Zero Punctuation) in this comic strip! How do I feel on it, it’s ok when compared to all the schlock found throughout the internet, certainly more original than anything E.A. can come up with. Even though I’ve just recently discovered your web comic, I have had enough time to read the whole thing from strip one and to be honest, it’s not really half-bad. In fact, it’s actually quite good. No where near great but it’s a decent alternative to Penny-arcade (I hate their new art style), and that’s actually a really high complement coming from a guy that commonly denounces anime style art work because most anime is the same but with very slight changes minus the occasional break of that pattern. Bottom line, I see a bright future for your comic and hope you don’t change art styles in the middle of it like Penny-Arcade did.

I just thought about how they can use the rope… That is, getting Larissa and Cloud to the other side… Thank you Cloud’s Mom.
Oh, and I find that absolutely hilarious…
And no, Larissa does not have mental issues (no more than most people anyway… heheheheh…world domina… oh, er I mean, uh, hello?). What she has is an incredibly awesome imagination and a headstrong and free willed nature (nature not being something that you are born with necessarily, or at least that is how I am using it… ah whatever…). That is something many of the “great” people of the world have… even if there is a tendency towards pyromania…

Soooo, does Larisa just not need to breathe? I can’t say that sentence out loud without stopping a few times. Very funny

Damn… that is the second longest sentence I’ve ever red…
Maybe Larissa should check her blood glucose level ^^
And the faces really are awesome! XD Pure gold!
@Kaotik4266 I’m on it

Reminds me of the scooby-doo game on the sega genesis. I never did beat that carnival level.

Is Larisa father Dan Brown or Stephen King?
Great comic, enjoying it more and more.
…but tell, are you tempted to have Cloud say “Let’s split up, Gang”, and other scooby references?

Will someone please take the stratgegy guide from Larissa before she gives away the rest of the spoilers for this quest? Next she’ll be telling cloud the weakness of the dungeons boss monster.

I almost didn’t read the wall of text, but people were laughing at it, so I went back.
About time gamers met William Faulkner.

That Penny Arcade strip got nothing compared with Subnormality’s usual walls of text:

Considering that Woo is already over, they decided not to climb the wall of text, either.

I’d go for that adventure Larisa just outlined, if it wasn’t for the one minor drawback that we’d never get back in time for bedtime.

Larisa has issues doesn’t she? But I agree, that sounds like a ton of fun! Include some exploding penguins armed with flaming chainsaws and you have a perfect day

Just to let you know.. in this part,
” in the possession of his only remaining descendant on Jamaica”
it should say, “in Jamaica” ;D’
Random says: Been playing Legend of Zelda have we?
Actually, it was mainly inspired by adventure games such as the Monkey Island and particularly the Broken Sword series.
Swifteye says: I’ll have what shes having, and by “that” I mean the drugs.
If you knew what I know you’d reconsider that statement.

Good lord… Larisa is utterly, totally, and Wonderfully almostly (?) Insane. And as such, i propose that what Larisa says comes true, and they end up finding a Teleportation device. That way, they’d be fine on time.
Other than that, the Great Wall Of Text was hilarious to read, and the exspressions were priceless.

Larissa was Yahtzee-esque… And no plot in Zelda is THAT complicated.. ONly the trading sequences even come close.
Something like Monkey Island sounds like it though.
CoyoteBR, I like it. Who has the flashlight, and who gets the Woo-snacks?

Sandra doesn’t look overly amused either; more kinda, “Wha..?”

I love run-on sentences with extreme tangent changes. It reminds me of some of the most fun conversations I have ever had.
