3rd Birthday / Website Stats
└ posted on Wednesday, 19 October 2011, by Novil
On 19 October 2008 the first Sandra and Woo strip was posted on our website, so Sandra and Woo is exactly three years old now. As you can see below, we found a nice number of readers, and I want to thank everybody who contributed to this in some way. I hope I’ll be able to write comics that are good enough to get 25,000 daily visitors eventually.
Here are five things I learned:
- You must always be wary that your sitcom style comic doesn’t become a soap opera.
- If you’re not always trying to improve, you get worse.
- 90 % of all criticism is just personal opinion.
- Making every strip of a longer story arc funny is incredibly difficult and I have high respect for every cartoonist like Bill Amend of FoxTrot who’s able to pull it off.
- I have no idea how Bill Watterson of Calvin and Hobbes was able to produce such funny, clever and innovative strips seven times a week.
Our fantasy webcomic Gaia will start on the end of November and I’m very excited about it. I hope that a large portion of the Sandra and Woo readers will also read Gaia.

Nice! What was the jump in December 2010? That’s incidentally when I found out about S&W 🙂

– A bunch of particularly good comics, for example the one with Woo and the Mondrian painting.
– An intensified advertising campaign.
– Luck with several advertising campaigns that brought much more visitors than usually.
– Girls in bikinis?
I read the entire series in the last two weeks. Love it.
Congrats on 3 yrs ^_^
Have you heard of ? I don’t know if this comic is up your alley, however it has massive overarching stories with clever humor at the end of every strip daily for eleven years.
Congrats on year three!
I never knew that RSS is such a low used technology. Every online comic I look at I do so through my RSS reader. Interesting…
@ jimR:
Same here. It’s really a fantastic way of following a lot of comics. It’s almost impossible to remember when twenty or so webcomics update, so you can only follow the best of the ones that don’t use RSS, which is frustrating.
I found your webcomic through an ad on http://spoonyexperiment.com/ and have loved it ever since and am proud to be one of the RSS users. Keep up the awesome work and here’s to another 3 years =^.^=
Wow, I never knew you guys had that many readers, my guess was way off.
Sandra and Woo is 3 years old? Wow where did the time go?! Anyhow keep up the awesome work!
