![[0142 B] Payback Time](http://www.sandraandwoo.com/comics/2010-03-01-[0142]-payback-time.png "[0142 B] Payback Time")
The current story arc started with this strip: Unfavorable Comparison. However, this strip also includes a reference to the story arc which started with the strip The Dark Knight.
UPDATE (1 March 2010): I have split this strip in two seperate parts after coming to the conclusion that they don’t work together that well. You can see the first part, which serves as the definite end of the story arc which started with the strip Two Pieces of Cake, here:
- Boy: … Wow, never thought that you would play such a mean trick on your girlfriend. What does it feel like to be single again?
- Cloud: Nah, we’re still going together.
- Boy: No kidding, you’re still together?! She must be a total slave to you!
- Cloud: Well…
- Cloud: Why does it have to be me to play the bad boy that hacked your account?
- Sandra: You think anybody would believe me otherwise, … Joker?!

Novil, do you really had no idea what to put in that panel? Oh, and who is Cloud talking to, and how’d he get his mom to give him $4125 to put into Sandra’s bank account?

I get the third panel
. OK, I get that Cloud is blamed but what about Woo? Did Woo deposit all that money from a heist? Or is that condolence money from Cloud as well? For a picture of what Novil is talking about in the third panel http://humour.200ok.com.au/img/pancake_bunny.jpg and http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/pancake-bunny .

Why so serious Cloud?
Another boy from his class.
Every party member gets a fair share of the loot.

I believe that $4125 has something to do with the mysterious figure we saw in the last arc, that found what Sandra & the others went to that old factory looking for.

So, his mom told him about what happened?
That “mysterious figure” was Cloud’s mom. I think the given clues were quite clear.
I believe Cloud knows very well what happened and Ye Thuza didn’t have to explicitly tell him. But that is not important for this strip.

I was lost for about 20 seconds, but then I pieced together the pieces. It was just a bit subtler than I was used to.
Still not sure of what the deal is with the third panel, but that’s just me seeing as others have gotten it.

The bank guy is goofing off with the computer’s card game. =) Classic.

The third panel could’ve featured Woo writing “I will not use the computer irresponsibly” a hundred times on a piece of paper.

So did Cloud put the money into Sandra’s account? Why???
I think my favorite part here is that Sandra brought -one- sandwich and drink out on a tray, then ate it herself!

This one I think should really be two strips… or at least be reversed. At the moment it makes it seem like the account hacking relates to the bank account.

First amendment > bunny. This was/is a fun plot arc, as long as Sandra and Woo doesn’t turn into “Soap Opera Station”.

Okay, without the extra comments, I wouldn’t have understood it at all. Have to ask anyway: What did Woo do to her YouTube account to make her the laughing stock of her school?

The throwaway panel (if you can call the 1st Amendment that) is a little disorienting, but I was able to follow the rest. So, Larisa got a mysterious payoff too, then?

I think the clue that is supposed to tip us off about the identity of the Level 20 Ninja Rogue is Cloud´s mom´s comment, “Let´s go shopping” in the 4th panel of #135 – apparently she´s recently come to some money.
If Sandra, Cloud, Larisa and Ye each got $4,125, that´s $16,500 in total, or 5% of an insurance sum of $330,000, which would fit the “several hundred thousands” worth of jewely stolen.

Well, the bank clerk playing solitair and claiming to have found no information … both a cliché and a truth.
Besides, Cloud will surely get a few respect points while Sandra gets a little heat off.

Am I missing something? I see the transcript of the bank employee and such, but I don’t see the strip for it. I only see starting with the panel of Cloud talking on the phone. Was the strip removed? Or is my network blocking the first part but leaving the rest?

Sandra bringing Cloud the sandwich and lemonade when his pal talks about her being a slave to him, then eating and drinking it all herself while reminding him of his past sins, is a nice touch, too.

I read the combined strip last night (Monday in Germany is still Sunday in the US). Splitting it into two makes a _lot_ more sense.
Even yesterday it was clear where the money came from. What’s confusing is ambiguity in the word “account”. Are they different words in German? I thought it was as in “mysterious transfer of funds”. Now it appears to be as in “Sandra wants to share this NSFW video about Raccoons”.
“…Joker” might still be a pop-culture reference I’m not getting.
In general, greatly enjoy the strip, both writing and artwork. (Just looked back. Glad you decided against putting any more “bad grammar” in Sandra’s mouth. One of the few times the dialog has grated on me.)

@Neutrino:
Sandra is referring to Cloud surprising her when she had just watched “The Dark Knight”, back in the arc that started with that strip. Joker is a bad guy in that movie, and looks quite a bit like Cloud did in the arc.

Here’s what I’m wondering: What did Sandra tell Cloud happened?

She probably just told him that her account was hacked by some random unknown person, but nobody would believe her, so she needed somebody to admit to doing it.

142-b is a great strip all to its own, particularly with that title.
One thing that’s confusing me, though. Is cloud going along with this because he knows it was Woo? Or because Sandra is “officially” his girlfriend?
I mean, wouldn’t Cloud knowing it was Woo imply that he knows Woo can talk, and thus imply that Sandra broke her promise to Woo?

Cloud is so… cute? Yeah, that’s the word. Sandra is also adorable and they both together is like… cuteness incarnate.
Never thought I’d see this day. Mae an old fool proud…

Can I see the bunny with a pancake on it’s head, or at the very least Sid about to be eaten by Shadow and pancakes fall on his head and thus the furry rodent is saved from sure doom once again by human food?

I agree with those who noted the second panel – it is genius. Especially with the word “slave” and Sandra bringing the sandwich in the same panel, slol!! Of course, it wouldn’t be funny without the third panel. This comic is very subtle.

Misdirection and false implications make for grand humor…
I don’t know if it is important exactly how Sandra got Cloud to take the fall for the Coon Porn, only that she can (and get away with it).
As a random note (even though it’s been moved), I do get why a throwaway panel was needed now. No offense to the 1st Amendment intended..

It took me a while to puzzle this one out. I think the problem is that you introduced the raccoon sex/You Tube story into the Two Pieces of Cake arc, forcing you to end two storylines at the same time. It seems to me that it would have been better to end TPoC first, then do the You Tube story as a filler between TPoC and your next arc.
This is the second time I’ve felt bewildered by Sandra and Woo. While it is a really cute comic, I feel that I am not your target audience, and you are aiming for a younger, more hip crowd. I’ve struggled over the decision to stop reading Sandra and Woo for exactly this reason. I’ve decided to hang on for a little while longer because I do enjoy the strip, I just wish I didn’t have to work so hard to get the humor in a comic strip.
