The current story arc started with this strip: A New Adventure.
Update (31 March 2011): I changed the dialog of Cloud and Larisa in the last panel since I was unhappy with the previous version.
Have you already read the blog post about our Sandra and Woo fanart contest? The winner will receive $100, and the four runner-ups will receive another $100!
- Sandra: WOO!
- Sandra: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
- Cloud: Sandra, wait for us!
- Larisa: Do you see where he’s flying to?
|
No, WOOOOOOOOOOO!!! 🙁 Save him, Cloud! Use a bow and arrow fashioned from your pocket knife!!!
No, Woo! Save him, Cloud! Create a bow and arrow fashioned from your pocket knife!!!
No! Woo! T_T Run, Sandra, run! This comic won’t be awesome if it’s just “Sandra”
Nooooo! This is why you never point out when things work out! Well….maybe it’s a friendly bird.
It’ll all work out. If Woo doesn’t talk his way out of it, then they’ll just have to have bird for dinner.
Save Woo, please!
Larisa Could do something..like….throw another cell phone trying to hit the eagle
wow, you know it’s bad when being with Cloud is like being alone…
It sounded funnier in my head.
Interesting how Woo doesn’t scream out Sandra’s name or screaming for help in English at this point, he really want to try to protect his secret does he?
Or just like people with multilanguage ability, when they are in danger they will instinctively use their mother language, in this case he use American-Racoonish who sounds like squeaking in human ears.
Punch it in the “bird’s nest” and then grab like mad for a tree branch.
Okay, frightened Sandra is officially one of the saddest things I’ve ever seen.
YOU’D BETTER TRIUMPH OVER THAT BIRD AND COME BACK, WOO! DON’T YOU DARE MAKE THAT GIRL CRY!!!
@ NULLcHiLD:
Birds don’t have external genitalia, so… that wouldn’t work.
Poor Sandra, man I feel so bad for her.
And then Woo got carried off the panel…
Alone?!?! Larisa, you would be “alone” with two cute eyed boys. Damn girl, are you running a temp or something. What’s next? Are you going to shout out how playing with fire is no longer your thing?
Someone need to get Larisa to some medical help right away. She clearly isn’t feeling well.
Not Good…
Well, knowing Woo, he’ll most likely wriggle out of this scrape somehow.
Who knows…Shadow, Sid, Lily, and Tibor might join forces and save him.
…also seeing as he was ableto outswim/run a shark.
@ Dracula-Wolf:
Now would be about time the high-calibre rifle came in handy.
Serious eagle is serious. Look at the first pannel and Imagine him wearing a neck tie.
Okay Cloud. For your girlfriends sake: Equip your swiss army knife and run like the devil is chasing you!
@ Deko:
Oh, right. Larisa should have saved the cellphone for this. She would have hit that eagle with ease.
@ Cloud+Larisa_Shipper:
I’m sure she’s saying this for two reasons:
1. It’s an order to follow Sandra as she is suggesting that he is about to run after her anyway.
2. It’s as an excuse to follow Sandra as well. Else Cloud might say something like: “Stay here, I follow Sandra!”
So in fact it’s a very clever sentence.
Someone: My previous post was joking. I get the fact that Cloud is probally going to follow Sandra and that Larisa is probally going to follow them. Basically she is saying “Hey guys don’t leave me behind” with an implied “because I think you might end up doing something more interesting than just sitting here”.
On what might be a related note, I can’t help but wonder if some people automark my comments as thumbs down just based on my name. I fail to see how the three comments right before mine are so much better that they havn’t had anybody mark them like that, but mine had more negative marks than positive before I voted myself. This isn’t the first time this has happened either. FYI people, the name I am posting here is a JOKE. I’m not an actual Cloud and Larisa shipper. I personally find Cloud and Sandra to be a cute couple. If that is the reason why you are marking my post down, lighten up already.
Okay now that is out of my system, couldn’t she throw Cloud’s cell phone? He still has it doesn’t he?
I know this comic will stray into dark territories but I really want Woo to live. I know he most likely will and do so in a comedic fashion but still, his death would make so many people sad.
Hope Woo gets out okay. And those three should be careful as well. Birds like to take prey to nests and nests tend not to be near the ground.
God damned lousy eagle!!! Of all the moments to go prey chasing, why did he had to choose that dramatic moment? And why Woo and not another prey????
…………………………………..
Yeah, I know that the answer is definitely going to be: “Because else the comic can’t move along”. Damn it, now I’m really hoping for our favorite coon a safe return. T^T
Hmmm. Eagles have big, sharp claws, with toes powerful enough to break a raccoon’s neck, and they usually use them, the better to stop the load struggling in transit. Woo is apparently being held by his forelimbs and is not in pain or damaged. Perhaps the eagle just wants a word.
But if Cloud doesn’t go with Sandra, who’s gonna cast Phoenix Down on Woo!
@ Greenwood Goat: Or, Woo simply is avoiding struggling
why are so many people recommending that she throw a cell phone? Are there no rocks handy?
Cloud Can’t use Phoenix Down on Woo either. His inventory is empty except for that pocket knife. I assume they will have a few random encounters in route and will pick one up though.
-Wolfish Grin-
But seriously now, Sticks + Bootlace + Pocket Knife = Bow and Arrow according to the SAS Survival Guide. I am sure Cloud’s many talents include improvised weaponry.
“The eagles are coming!”
@ Lani:
cell phone. rocks handy.
That’s funny for me since handy is the german word for cell phone XD’
@ Cloud+Larisa_Shipper:
her ‘Don’t leave me alone’ is, if you notice, she’s grabbing Cloud’s arm to prevent him from following Sandra, who it appears he started after. Don’t forget the other cute eyed boy trudged off up stream to look for the rescue party.
Has anyone seen “Rescuers Down Under” ? That giant golden eagle there befriended a human boy, and carried him like this one seems to have nabbed Woo. Maybe its a mama bird looking for help to combat a poacher. Who else but a raccoon to help hide eggs and draw the poacher off the path? 🙂
@ Greenwood Goat:
Have you heard about the bird? Well, everybody knows that the bird is the word! Yeah the bird! Bird! Bird is the word! (Surrrrrrr-fiiiiiiin birrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrd!)
Sorry, I just couldn’t resist.
@ Cloud+Larisa_Shipper:
LOL! I guess it does pay to read all of the comments before replying. :p
If she’s so good at throwing stuff, let her throw a nice wet rock. Don’t hafta hit the bird, just scare it enough to drop Woo.
Though I’m still standing by my Rescuers Down Under theory. 😀
So much for staying put til Harvey gets back.
I see another Larrisa-Cloud-Sandra adventure coming, sparked by this ‘random encounter’.
Sandra’s face on the last panel = so heart breaking!
@Conroy N VA
Loved that movie 🙂
Was huge to my childhood. I’m on board with your theory.
(seriously I’m pretty sure that movie is part of the reason I’m so set on wanting to go paragliding, I always wanted to fly on the back of a giant eagle after I saw it so flying along side eagles would be the next best thing.)
Oh my, I just hope that eagle is one of those characters that follow the “I don’t eat cute and/or important characters.” rule, unlike Woo and Shadow. >.<"
Conroy N VA: Actually she isn’t grabbing his arm. If you look closer, you will notice that her left hand is on her thigh like she is standing up as well and her right arm is on the opposite side of her from Cloud.
I changed the dialog of Cloud and Larisa in the last panel since I was unhappy with the previous version.

… What if it’s a girl eagle?
I think the Larissa’s earlier dialog was was more natural, but could also be misinterpreted.
Does anyone else think that this, might possibly be a nightmare a character is having?
Wait. All of this happens right before April Fool’s Day…

@ Novil:
shadow should save woo somehow
Figures. I find this webcomic today, read through the entire thing, and the most recent post is a cliffhanger. WHY MUST THIS ALWAYS HAPPEN TO MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE?!?!?!
Now the guide is going to be found and they will all be lost and who knows what will happen to Woo! I hope he runs in to someone who can help them all!
AHHH
ANOTHER CLIFFHANGER
I Cant Take Much More Of These. .
Anywhooo~
DARN YOU EAGLE. . .! >:l
Nobody Likes You Eagle. .So Stop Snatching Random Raccoons With Lunchboxes
Oh No thats not good She Will Get Him Back. 🙂
Sandra will lost deep in the jungle. I smell an adventure~
@ hb6x8:
Woo is not only a main character but in the NAME OF THE COMIC. Of course he’s going to live.
Cloud saying Larissa and he were a “we” seems a little suspicious…. Keep your eyes open Sandra!
