The current story arc started with this comic: Irrhetorical Question.
Thanks to the Twitter user Durnakans who provided the French translation of Theo’s dialog in the last panel.
Only -1 for craziness. I’m not sure about that…
- Theo: You just landed on top of Larisa’s “friends ladder”. And since Larisa is a 9…
- Benjamin: 10 for attractiveness, -1 for craziness.
- Theo: … you’ll never be able to jump over to her “real ladder”.
- Landon: That makes sense. But I wasn’t exactly expecting a French kiss from Larisa for my help.
- Larisa: I got a B-!! Wheee, thanks so much!! Would you like a little thank-you kiss?
- Landon: Uhm, yes?
- Larisa: Would you like some more thank-you kisses?
- Landon: Glurk.
- Larisa: Come on then, let’s go to my place!
- Caption: The next day.
- Benjamin: Do you still need somebody to study with for the French test next week?
- Larisa: ?
- Theo: N’écoute pas ce perdant! J’ai eu un A+ au dernier test. Viens étudier avec moi!

landon is much nimbler than he looks.
Guess he could jump over to her “real ladder” after all.
Larisa plays by her own rules.
I called it! 😀
Cool! The sentense in French fit well with the context! \o/ (I confess, I was a bit afraid about it).
Also, quick English version of the last speech bubble: “Don’t listen this loser! I got a A+ to the last test. Come study with me!”
And the Nerdy boy get’s the girl! Woo!
Please have Landon and Larissa go out. It would be quite fitting.
[Eh, and what about Justin?]
It could be funny to have an french version of Sandra and Woo.
Bwa ha ha! Panel 4 is Larisa summed up into one moment. And it makes perfect sense as well, Larisa isn’t exactly conformist, even to human nature and instinct. This is one of the best arcs of all time. I’d actually say this could be the second or third best strip of all time, after “Sell my soul to the devil for a glass of lemonade” and “15$? From a bat?”
well, she can at some points be a rampant pyro, soooo…
I just found a new couple to follow.
Bwahahaha! I was hoping it would be something like this! >:D Larisa has gotta be my favorite (human) character in the whole comic.
See? What’d I tell ya? Larisa only has one ladder-like-apparatus, and only SHE knows where you stand on it.
Not shown, Landon still standing in the same place since yesterday after one long kissing session.
After that day, Landon vow to train himself to become a firefighter, so he can handle the fire…
extra:
As a Dark Souls player, I have this urge to create a new female Pyromancer class, call her Larissa. customizing her look maybe the hardest thing to do.
Let me explain, this:

(without mentioning this: http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/06/07/0171-guilty-as-defended/ )
Its all logical dear wattson.
I think I saw a tongue in there…
I knew that Larissa puts all men in her real ladder (and I suspect Sandra is in that ladder too)…
“Your place or my place?” is not a question to Larisa
Your french is real good ^^
i would have used “ce petit joueur” instead of “perdant” (looser is such an English word ^^) but I love it :p
Lol, the ladder theory isn’t completely true in most cases, ESPECIALLY if were talking about Larisa.
OK…now..that was very funny….and the end even better…
but…. the real world is cruel and tooooo baaad we don’t have “Larissas”….
@ Souel:
I would like, but:
“Can I translate Sandra and Woo into another language?
No, you are not allowed to change the English or German text of the strips. We had a bad experience with a fan-made Spanish translation whose quality did not match our standard. If you want to post a Sandra and Woo strips in a forum or elsewhere (see above) you can provide a translation beneath the strip.”
(source: http://www.sandraandwoo.com/about/ )
Everyone knows the ladder theory is not entirely accurate, and that things like this vary wildly from person to person (and Larisa is very ‘varied’..)
is not that larisa isn’t aware of the ladder theory…. is just that she burned one of the two
Your ladder theory is invalid.
Ha, I told you, Landon. Girls like NICE guys. Girls going for bad-boys is mostly (though not entirely) a myth.
It took as long as taking a test to explain the ladder theory…and Landon is one lucky bastard!!
Is it just me or did Larisa change her clothes?…
Mid-test…
lol je pense que je sais qui elle doit étudier avec
Hmmm…Need to find girl that needs help with math now….
silly Benjamin & Theo you should know by now that Larisa plays by her own rules
*stare at last panel* oh, found Waldo but he is missing his hat
Well this explains the whole “And you’re still a virgin?” bit from earlier.
All hail to cartoonists who use the services of actual French speakers to write French dialogue instead of a garbled machine translation! (This works on all languages, actually, but French is the one I see massacred the most often).
Also, what can I say? All of Larisa’s ladders (no matter how many there are) probably meet somewhere near the top anyway.

d’accord. mon français n’est pas encore si bon…
j’ai envie de lire quelque chose désopilant en français. =P
Trans-duction:
“I agree – my french isn’t as good anymore.
I would really like to read something funny/hilarious in french. ” =P
Maybe Larisa is practicing for when she runs away to England and becomes a Kiss-A-Gram girl!

I don’t think Larisa even HAS a ladder!

Me too, it was quite obvious if you know Larisa!
i’m impressed, it’s pretty rare to see an english webcomic with french well used and without error
@ J. N. Squire:
Sad to hear they had a bad experience with the Spanish translation. That was obviously before I started reading the comic 😉 Anyway, the translation beneath the strip should be sufficient, I guess.
@ Mulldrifter:
Mais pour du “français scolaire”, c’est plutôt normal de trouver quelques anglicismes, non ?
(But in scholastic French, it’s pretty normal to find some anglicism, isn’t it ?)
more like +5 for craziness.
AWWW YEEEEEAAH
Why can’t this happen in really life =D
Larisa has no ladder. She has one long hemp rope tied into knots.
Knot Likely
Knot Interested
Knot On Your Life
Knot Bad
Knot Unknind
Knot Fun
Knot Interested
Knot Able To Resist
Knot Unworthy of Larisa’s Time and Attention
Place in any order you might like. Only she knows the truth of the order of Larisa’s Rope of Chaos 😀
@ Adsvem:
He’s probably used to it or even expecting it from Larissa by now.
LOLZ oh wow. saw that coming XD
It’s not a ladder, with Larissa it’s a jungle gym.
Apparently it’s more like 10 for attractiveness and +1 for craziness which is indeed 11 out of 10.
@ Someone:
It’s one louder!
I’m actually quite amused by Larisa’s bohemian antics…sometimes I wonder if she isn’t a more interesting character than Sandra.
