The current story arc started with this strip: Healthy Cookies, Part 1.
This is my favorite single panel of Sandra and Woo so far. 🙂
There are new wallpapers of the following single panels on our exclusive page for donators:
- Woo Jumps to a Conclusion, Part 2 (1st panel)
- Dirty Lobbying (1st panel)
- Kissus Interruptus (1st and 2nd panel)
- Bahamut ONE (5th panel)
- Moonlight Sonata (1st panel)
- The Second Law of Thermodynamics (4th panel)
- Sandra: Hi Larisa. Why so happy?
- Larisa: I found the meaning of life!
- Sandra: Really?! Which is?
- Larisa: Are you familiar with the second law of thermodynamics?
- Sandra: It’s got something to do with energy, right?
- Larisa: Pretty much. It postulates that every process tends to increase the entropy of the universe. Which means that everything’s going to end in total chaos!
- Sandra: And how is that related to the meaning of life?
- Larisa: The meaning of life is to make it happen faster, of course!
- Sandra: This explains everything.

Now this is art!
First one yay!
holy crap i’m first !!!! and i dont think she will be at the school anymore O_O
dame you jack lol
Hi.
I was introduced to this comic by a friend. I read it whole -from the beginning to the end- and I think this comic is awesome. Definitely is lovable and pretty much what I like to see in good strips.
Good job. I’m following this comic since now.
So… Larisa is the opposite of Dr. Desty Nova…
Also, best physics-based comic ever seen. Many congrats. 😀
Hey, I think I found Waldo. Oh wait… no, no…. its just a pair of scissors.
Well, this certainly makes more sense than talking cookies.
Wow, that’s a lot of destruction for a short amount of time and one person – good thing she didn’t just light it all on fire.
For some reason, I feel that its not complete until everything is on fire and she in in the same pose, laughing manically. Larisa, your meaning of life is quite disturbing o_o.
Introduce a little anarchy… ] Upset the established order, then everything becomes…CHAOS! Larisa… is an Agent… of Chaos.
Larisa is incredible. Make life a bang, baby!
did she do that by herself?! shes like an atomic bomb that already happened!
Never explain physics to Larisa. Hilarity ensues. XD
that’s our larisa! i learned this little truth in an episode of doctor who many years ago. nowhere in that episode was it explained more eloquently than how it was in this strip!!!
@firedome
Logopolis, right? True, this strip explains it more clearly but I don’t think you can go past the line spoken by the leader of Logopolis. It went something like “more power will only increase the rate of decay”. It’s true, too. The only way to reverse entropy is to add extra energy from outside in the presence of something which can direct that energy intelligently.
Larisa has made several major mistakes in her “helping” of entropy:
1. Desks don’t naturally tend to stack themselves into a pyramid.
2. Chairs don’t naturally tend to tape themselves to walls.
3. Pictures don’t naturally tend to appear on blackboards unaided.
4. Flags bearing letters of the alphabet and individual decimal digits do not naturally tend to sort themselves into aphabetic or numeric order.
Of course since this is all part of Sandra’s dream, we should forgive her for not correctly depicting how entropy works. 🙂
If the “don’t eat me” was, indeed, Woo, I think Larissa is in cahoots with him
Now, if this isn’t Sandra’s dream, Larisa probably doesn’t know that who she’s helping is Woo.
The second Law of Thermodynamics states that in a closed environment, all things tend towards entropy……
I guess a classroom is close enough to a closed environment for Larisa’s purposes.
And hey, I found Wally. No wait, that’s just a waste basket on a bust.
I’ve taught art classes for two years. This is a good day.
Watch as all the Young Wizardry fans desert this comic in droves. That is, unless Sandra defeats The Lone Power possessing Larisa?!
I’ll say that this strip is probably a big lipped alligator moment……. but this is a dream sequence right? so it’s quite acceptable
btw big lipped alligator moment meaning is here
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BigLippedAlligatorMoment
yes, a tvtropes link, I AM that evil *grin*
The meaning of life is causing chaos?
I thought it’s 42…
At the other hand: If a penguin would walk around in the classroom or some apes with Hamlet scripts would sit on the stacked desks it would be close to the choas caused by the implausibility-drive.
(I hope that’s the right word, I only know the German translation for that ^^ )
But one thing is bugging me… Why isn’t anything burning yet? XD
It’s Larisa we are talking about. Or is igniting everything part of the final?
PS: Burning means entropy, doesn’t it?:P
I’m reminded of the layman’s 3 laws of thermodynamics…
“You can’t win. You can’t break even. And you can’t get out of the game.”
You know – Kinda like Las Vegas.
I especially like the chair taped on the wall 😀
Great chaos!
i think she might actually succeed
Love it. But as a physics pedant, I feel obligated to mention:
According to thermodynamics, the end state of the universe – “heat death”, the ultimate form of entropy – is actually complete UNIFORMITY: every bit of the universe is the same, so nothing ever happens.
Which, I imagine, is probably the kind of mental image that would give Larisa fits. 😀
hooray for science. it proves once again how things work in life.
i love it somehow. and dont make things going too fast in life, it will be a pain to your body.
dream?
Soooo THIS was what got Sandra surprised in the previous strip? COOL! XD
Yeah Larisa has a point there… Does she? :O
Well, at least the room isn’t on fire.
@ the next best thing:
Heh.
If she starts a cult, I’m in.
Well she sure knows has the powers of CHAOS under her CONTROL!
… Please don’t hit me.

Where is the gasoline and the book of matches?
Larisa obviously has Entropy and Chaos mixed up. They are actually opposites of each other. Chaos is uncontrolled creation and destruction, while Entropy is the decay of complex things into simpler things. Despite what she thinks, Larisa is an agent of chaos, not entropy.
Eh, she’s still learning. Also, things not being on fire yet is surprising.
@ sun tzu:
Exactly! Thank you, that was exactly what I was thinking! The entropy theory postulates a uniform distribution of energy throughout the universe, complete stasis.
I’m surprised that more people didn’t catch this.
next set it on fire Larisa
FIRE MAKES IT GOOOOOOD!
This is a great comic, but Larisa is pretty far off… As we should all know, Deep Thought has already given us the ultimate answer, 42. 🙂
So, according to Larissa the real meaning of life is “to make Chaos happen faster”, huh?
Well,….. that’s a rather strange (but funny and entertaining) way to see it.
You know, she’s actually not that far off about the meaning of life, it seems:

The letter and number banners in order I can understand since most likely Larisa was more concerned with the overall effect as opposed to deconstructing the pennant strings.
Now the creative images on the chalkboard should give most psychologists a field day.
– Dead Elvis?
– Nuclear Mushroom cloud
– Radiation symbol
– A Rocket in flight
– A dolphin on fire …???? A Dolphin on fire ???? =/

@ Shady Kitsune:
And I made an embarassingly bad typo there… How did I miss it?
I prefer the way the Comics Irregular defined the Three Laws of Thermodynamics:
1. You can’t win
2. You can’t break even
3. You can’t get out of the game

Well Cience again proves the lack of known about philosophy, there you have a confusión betwen purpose, function, meaning and significance. And asumes the existence of a concience .
In the stupid mind of cientist they think that their laws actually funtion as laws, the laws are just a conditioned sistem.
The best thing in Cience is that the facts dont forms estructures of meaning, but estructures of forms. But trying to find the “meaning of life” is just nonsense, they are only using retorics to construct a meaning. Thermodinamics dont mean nothing, they are just empty description of reality but that is actually good, that is the way we know they are objetive and inavoidable.
Some phycisists in their despice of phylosophy think physics can remplace the non-cientific way of knowledge. But there are goog physcisist that read phylosophy and know that they are diferent disciplines
is larisa a batman supervillain?
i find it kind of silly what some people are saying. its obviously not a dream. sure the cookies SEEMED to be talking…but couldn’t that just be a part of Sandra’s imagination? she did have kind of a nightmare about cookies, so it wouldn’t be very surprising if she was thinking about the cookies crying out for mercy. plus, has anyone noticed the speech bubbles have TAILS!? what people REALLY should be talking about is how those cookies got on her desk. okay, i might as well admit it could have been Larisa, but isn’t that kind of awkward, Larisa giving a good gesture? think people, THINK! (no offense)
Well, those cookies are Sandra’s, just like shown in the previous strip. I suppose that, after those hallucinations she had, she couldn’t bring herself to eat the rest of her cookies.
I love it ! Larisa is really my favourite one ! My sister soul ! <3
