The current story arc started with this strip: Hit-Boy.
Yuna’s line is a direct reference to Hit-Girl’s message to her viewers after the most emotional scene in Kick-Ass. See the clip on YouTube (Duration: 7 seconds). SPOILER WARNING!
One more reason why Sandra and Woo is not in American newspapers. xD
- Brandon: Ow!
- Yuna: Freedom for the peoples of Burma, motherfuckers.

Haha. She is so cute! Surprise comic profanity from the mouth of the youngest character makes for a great laugh, the word choice is pretty good too… I kinda wish she used the word “tunk” somehow though.
hey it wasn’t cloud who tackled him?.
Awww that’s just cute… or I just don’ know what to say. XD
Still cool job. 😉
YAY CHILD VIGILANTISM!
I’m sure her mom wouldn’t like the fact she profanity. tsk tsk little one!
Speaking as a LONG-time teacher in Los Angeles, CA– I’ve heard 4 and 5 year olds use language like this. Sadly, in these real life cases, it’s part of the home-life. Oh, and I’m not saying it is the accepted norm– it just exists.
But if you remember in an earlier strip, Cloud’s own mother was calling him a “Pussy”.
But I still think the fictional parents of Cloud and Yuna are better roll-models than the handful of real-life parents I’ve had to deal with over the years.
OMG! that what strong words! xD I was litterally weighed down with shock and wow! xD
Noone IMPORTANT got hurt. 🙂
Can’t wait to see the Youtube video…. (You know that guy’s going to post it…)
Wasn’t referring to her martial arts training. I meant more the “exposing a young child to murder and violence and teaching her explicitly to do these things, while turning it into a game”. The last part (a line IN the movie) is especially uncomfortably close. But since one of the characters calls her father out on that exact thing, again, I think it was intentional.
Obviously I mean Hit-girl, not Yuna. Ye Thuza’s training methods seem more “adorably crackpot psycho” than “creepy and uncomfortable to think about.”
Actually, I believe it was Yuna who stomped the hand and picked up the knife.
Ye Thuza’s looking rather proud there too. 🙂
My sister also uses coarse language on occassion–not that we approve. Now I must go rent the Kick-Ass DVD.
I censored it because the other word was quoting the comic strip. I only censor my own words. lol
Hehe, today i started reading sandra and woo cuz each time i went to see Station V3, a sign of this was there. so i said, “how much could it hurt?”. so i decided to see it and now, needless to say, it is one of the best comics ive ever seen!
congrats to the author for making one of the funniest comics ever!
and i know my name is weird, but it is all i could come up with
I had no interest at all in watching the movie “Kick-ass” and I didn´t even know about that movie until I read this story-arch.
Now I´m gonna go watch it.
Yo, I was wondering of all the oppressed countries in the world, why did you pick burma?
You have any emotional attachment to it?
Heh. So Yuna is now insisting on being part of the “game”? I didn’t pick that she would be the one to do the “treadupon”, partly because I didn’t know she was even present.
Now I still wonder what’s going to be the aftermath of all this action. I presume the following strips will inform me.
why isn’t the camera man getting out the way hasn’t he seen the film?
I just ran across your comics today and read through all of them from the very beginning, and let me just say that I absolutely love it! I could rant and rave about how awesome and hilarious it is while still having some serious points, but that would take forever. This really inspires me because I want to have my own online comic someday too. And I only hope it’s as funny and well drawn as this. 😀
Good ending to the chase, wasn’t expecting little Yuna to have tagged along with them…
And for all those wondering how Ye Thuza is restraining Brandon and Cloud isn’t. Here is a series of actions that has taken place…
Ending of Last Page –
Cloud Tackles, Puts Brandon to the ground. Brandon reaches out for Knife.
First few pages of This page –
Yuna steps on hand, collects Knife, strikes pose.
Meanwhile unseen due to focus on the ‘New Challenger’ appearance.
Ye Thuza presses down onto Brandon, Cloud dismounts, Ye Thuza turns Brandon over and locks his arms behind his back before sitting on top of him to apply pressure…
Thing learnt today: M*therf*ckers is the same in german as in english, rather than my loose, unchecked, schoolboy “mutterfickeren” or whatever 😀
I’ve been following the situation of Burma since the monk uprising in 2007. I believe that all countries in East Asia have much potential which has often been restrained by tyrannic and corrupt governments in the past. The situation has been getting better in most of the countries in the last decade or so, including Indonesia, but Burma is the exception to this.
It’s also a good country if you want a character with a personal background as a “real” rebel who’s fighting against the government of his country.
Well then Novil, you should take a look at DPRK. Not much difference (‘cept in firepower)
What makes you think I do not? I’ve read many articles about North Korea. Though I think North Korea is a very special case with the complete brainwashing of all the citizens and the isolation of the country over the course of decades. I’ve seen documentaries about Burma and the people there are fairly normal, and foreigners can visit the country mostly unsupervised.
…whereas North Korea is more prison camp than country.
Nor could Cloud and his mom have contact with their relatives “back home” if they were North Korean – much less send them DVDs. I wonder if there are even any DVD players in private households in North Korea, outside the Party elite…
Kind of a sad ending: another life ended by the law, and this time, good people helped it happen… Still not sure what to think of this arc…
The law didn´t end his life… *he* did. The law didn´t make him deal drugs, the law didn´t make him stab the cop, the law didn´t make him try to stab Cloud. He brought this on himself. A *sad* ending would have been if an *innocent* person got harmed.
“Freedom for the peoples of Burma, motherfuckers!”
You’re fucking right, pal! 😉
Is that the Kadokawa Studios logo on her cape?
@ Novil:
YES! he is.
ROFL oh my GOD SOOO FUNNY!
I obviously play TF2 way too much. That panel with the knifeplay reminds me of the Spy.
@ NeonJ:
FYI, Yuna’s a part of this Japanese (I think) comic, and, therefore, she can say what the writers make her say. And if this isn’t a Japanese comic, then I seldom notice good stuff anymore!
The video in the link has been removed! This makes me sad, because although I’ve seen the recent Kick-Ass movie, I don’t remember its details terribly well…
@ Tacogirl12:
Did you forget about the cop who got stabbed in the arm?
This has been an amazing storyline!
And to think even little Yuna is such a badass!
I love this comic so much!
So adorable!
I wonder just how many hits this video will get on youtube?
1,999,999,400 maybe? It will be the next big thing!
How old is that girl?
O.O
O. My face after reading what that little girl said
that mom is a spy!
aww yiss, Hitgirl.
I don’t see why Ye Thuza taking over from Cloud should be seen as strange. I’m sure he’s capable of restraining a guy based on what we’ve seen of his skills to date, but it seems quite natural to me that once his mum shows up, he defers to her. She’s the adult, after all.
@ Adzo:
Although for the moment he seems too confused/dazed to put up much of a fight….
Clou’d’s family is awesomely insane.
…I’m starting to think Cloud’s mom may be a bit of a dangerous mother to have
