I wrote the basic concept for this strip in 2008 already, but I was not able to come up with a good idea for Sandra’s line in the final panel until recently.
- Sandra: Look at that pretty bird over there!
- Woo: Wow.
- Sandra: ?
- Woo: *sneak* *jump* *catch* *behead* *devour*
- Sandra: Great job, Woo. Yet again a little less beauty in this world.
- Woo: Don’t be so shallow, Sandra. It’s the nutritional values that count.

I don’t hope the bird got the avian Flu.
Awwwww, she like the bird.
BETTER MURDER IT!
Wow, Sandra looks pretty shocked!
Is it just me, or has Sandra ended it that disappointed face and a sarcastic line a lot lately?
THIRD!! I like this one. It’s HILARIOUS!! I LOVE Sandra’s face in the third panel! XD
@ illeatyourself:
Darn, guess somebody commented before I finished typing mine. 🙁
Silly Sandra, never point out a potential meal to a carnivore (or is he an omnivore?)
And when do you ever want for food, Woo? Still, it could have been worse: what if Sandra’s animal sidekick was a cat…?
Sandra: Nutritional values!? You’re not even trying to eat it! It’s still alive, for crying out loud!!
Mew: Yes… for crying out loud. Scream thy last scream, red bunting with a chest wound…
Painel 3..PRICELESS!!!
Her price is faceless!
… wait-
Guess the early Woo catches the bird . . .
Sorry, Bird. 🙁
Maybe it was Tweety back for revenge?
I can say with absolute honesty, that this particular comic, is giving back to nature. I’m happy that I can say this without it being misinterpreted as an insult. Maybe if there were more panels or if woo’s tail were peeking out from just above Sandra’s head in the second panel it would have been less confusing. the sequencing in the first third and final panels are clear.
Although I do like to tease, when I look at this comic I think and feel as if I’m missing something and to be honest I still think you could do better. So, better Luck next time. And, I hope you look forward to others learning from your mistake… Not that it is a mistake, but rather unclear sequencing.
Of course, I like things to be clear to as many people as possible when I present an idea. I often try to avoid confusion, and I realize you are on a schedule, and everything has to be rushed. Just be aware I’m not insulting you I’m just stating something for consideration. Because I care to some degree about the story and characters you have created.
To be fair, a bird as dumb as that would have been eaten soon, anyway.
Part of this complete breakfast!
Clearly that bird was singing “Sanctuary”.
Woo of course, proved him wrong.
I don’t think he could of snuck up on a bird like that, then again it’s a comic with talking animals so any point I make would be silly
Is it just me, or is Sandra looking a little older in this strip? O_o
Is it just me or do the last two O’s in the title take on colors of different ponies?
Mmmmm…
@ Wulfy:
Ah…Lemme check.
Ok, they are a pony’s body and mane colors. I wasn’t entirely sure for a few refreshes, but Twilight made it obvious, and Rainbow Dash even more so. I still have Pinkie on this page, so I’m glad I broke the fourth wall this time.
coul’ve been worse, sandra. woo coulve set the fresly devoured bird’s head at your feet (many of the cats i’ve had though my life have presented parts of their kills to me).
Am I the only one who’s a sucker for golden eyes?
The *sneak* *jump* *catch* *behead* *devour* onomatopoeias, or the art to say everything without showing nothing. 😀
Hey even Sandra has to eat meat, arent chickens beautiful to?
Who needs beauty when you’ve got dinner?
So i guess a bird a day keeps sandra angry.
Is it just me or is Sandra getting taller??
I’m sure it’s lean meat, too.
Boys will be boysRacoons wil be racoons
@ Elia:
It looks like that to me too… But that is more realistic.
@ EEK!:
I agree. It might just be the outfit, but it seems to me that the fact that she was drawn abit less cartoony and abit more realisticly might be the main factor.
This strip highlights an oft-forgotten fact. Mother nature can be a brutal and ugly thing at times.
Funny strip.
That’s what I always answer when my mother ask “Is this cake looking good?”
Order of operations for a carnivore shown above. Also good for most games with blades.
To be fair, Sandra, Woo requires a full stomach before he can fully appreciate beauty.
A bird in Woo’s stomach is worth two in a tree.
This to me is CLASSIC! just show you when you have a predatoray pet!!!
My cat plays “bounce the mouse around” in my bath!!!
On a day when most of America is eating a bird (properly cooked and stuffed of course) I find this funny and appropriate. But Woo is missing the best part, stuffing and gravy.
Gotta love it when “behead” is used as a sound effect.
@ Wulfy:
Oh god. The unescapable ponies!

Quoting Guru in DBZ abridged: “Nell. I saw a bird. It was pretty. Kick it’s ass.”
@ Wulfy:
I don’t really understand why people voted down your comment. They must’ve seen “ponies” and were like INSTA-HATE. I’ll admit, i thought it was a stupid comment at first as well and then I checked it out. I never noticed it before. Thanks for drawing my attention to it. XD
@ Kurogane:
was I?
@ Neveko:
It’s probably related to the fact that MLPFIM is about as bad as Disney’s Pocahontas. However, given it’s appeal to the younger troll set, any concept outside a given range could be misinterpreted as an insult.
Personally I don’t like the show. I think it’s contrived and has a very nasty subtext. That’s what is going to make it so much fun to make fun of whenever I get around to it. since it’s a parody perhaps I’ll borrow…pay homage to “a cask of amontillado”. Nightmare moon is a perfectly serviceable villain, too bad Celestia comes off more like true mason.
Now for the thing that should really get me flames:
Woo doesn’t need to speak in this one. I can see the bird is finger licking good and quite honestly a punchline is overkill. That in combination with the tail that should be moved in the second panel, practically makes this comic appear like the work of an unskilled professional, maybe even a novice. What’s worse is that it could have easily been resolved.
Here’s a question; Doesn’t she FEED that damn thing? Or is Woo just uch a bottomless pit that he still devours other creatures?
@ Nick/Tyrong:
You ever own an animal before? They’ll eat themselves past being sick if you give them something they want to eat.

True, Woo’s line isn’t needed, but it still adds something to the strip.
I assume that was Woo’s Thanksgiving dinner…or was it the appetizer?
*sneak* *jump* *catch* *behead* *devour*
I’m sorry, but that’s hilariously weird. I’ve seen a verb used as onomatopoeia before, but never so many in a row.
I love ur comic.XD
Woo is the curtest animal ever.X3
I’m waiting for the next.
