- Armin Fish: That was my favorite hand! You’ve just made yourself a powerful enemy! Our revenge will be swift and terrible!
- Richard: What will you do?
- Armin Fish: First of all, we’ll instantly terminate your DSL contract!
- Richard: And…?
- Armin Fish: … And that means you’ll have no choice but to switch to our competitor Comcast!
- Richard: NOOOO

He isn’t bleeding because he’s already dead. Two, his name–‘Armin Fish.’ Considering how close it is to Albert Fish–and I’m not saying who that was–I wonder if the name choice was deliberate.
Okay, I will explain a bit–Albert Fish, an American serial killer from the 1920s, and anything more than that I will not say!
@ Melanie:
uh i think he’s a man-eating zombie… so he’s technically a monster and duh he doesn’t bleed…
@ Anonymous:
Wait… those aren’t real?
as an owner of DSL highspeed. i’d gladly try any other ISP out there. my DSL sucks.
I used to work for Comcast, so this made me chuckle on two levels.
Internet’s completely down? No problem, have it fixed in two weeks.
COMCAST??!!!!!!! *hides*
Bury it in the backyard and pretend it never arrived!
You think of yourself as the customer in power, having the choice between competitors, all willy nilly until your actual provider pulls a nasty trick on you, and you realize that your only alternative is that one other provider available in your region whom you refused to do business with in the first place because they are absolutely awful.
@ ekimmak:
I think you mistaken Sandra for Larisa.
This comic actually made me crack up 😀
This is how many people feel when they are making the choice of which internet provider to use.
I work for Comcast and I agree whole heartily with the joke.
NOT COMCAST! QUICK! WHERE’S SANDRA?!
Am I the only one here who actually likes Comcast?
Only if he’s Able to report to the company. If he’s locked up in a cage next to the skeleton of Woo’s former owner, no problems.
So he thinks. There are other options, though admittedly expensive, such as satellite dish and G4->WiFi boxes. There’s also less than legal but free methods if you live in a populated area and know how to use Backtrack. 🙂

@ Kamil:
Ha! Funny!
I changed ISPs and a couple of years later figured out my old ISP had not taken down my website and that I could still update it. 🙂 I rebuilt it as a spoof UFO / Bigfoot site. About a month later they noticed the activity and finally took it down. 🙂 Free publicity! Now I can put it back up somewhere else and claim a Conspiracy forced me off-line. 🙂 🙂 🙂
Let me introduce my contract negotiating team:
Clarissa, drug addled pyromaniac.
Cloud, sword master, champion of justice.
Cloud’s sister, but kicker extrodinaire.
Woo, pissed-off racoon.
And finally, I brought the ultimate negotiator, Cloud’s mom.
You will give me free cable with all the bells and whistles, free ultimately high speed 4 T1 trunk internet. And I promise not to pay you and not to sick my negotiating team on you.
@ The Aussie Bloke:
it’s a zombie, duh! (and this is also read by people under 12)
@teezoen:
I’m with you.
@AckAckAck & all the other “only a comic” people:
Very early in the series, “Sandra And Woo” was very firmly established as a “world” where the only strange or unusual or impossible thing was Woo and his ability to talk (along with his necessarily Human level intelligence). Everything else was “normal”. No vampires. No ghouls. No supernatural occurences.
Although the comic occasionally “played” with the reader (such as Ye Thuza killing that… whatever it was… fictional creature… during her exploration of the warehouse), the majority of the comic was firmly grounded in reality.
Now, suddenly, we have a whole comic arc which seems to be very firmly based on a concept which is totally alien (no pun intended) to everything which makes Sandra and Woo what it is.
It’s as though Sandra and Woo has been totally abandoned by Novil and the writing has been taken over by someone who has never read a single Sandra and Woo story.
Some warning as to the change in the nature of S&W would have been appreciated.
I enjoyed the original concept. I don’t like this one. Your milage may vary, of course. This is just my opinion and I don’t expect everyone to share it.
I’m sorry, but I am so confused!
I’m not worried; the guy will be visiting either Cloud or Larissa next, so really, he’s about to be chopped or burned. Plus, he’s a ghoul, so the suffering will be eternal!
Real-life events as in having a talking raccoon?
WHAT THE ***** IS GOING ON?! 😀
@ Melkior:
Or, it could be a dream sequence, or one of those occasional gag sequences.
Besides, there are other animals with human-level intelligence that seem to be able to talk, at least with each other even if not to humans… and Larissa continues to defy all natural laws.
Wow, that IS a serious threat!
DSL is pretty terrible anyway.
@ Tara:
Try dial-up! 😉 I have Bellsouth’s (AT&T / Yahoo) cheapest dsl. I’m thrilled compared to my old dial-up, and I haven’t had any real problems. (So far… ;-))
@ Petah-Petah:
He’s down on his knees so I doubt it.
@ Alexander B:
You have a download limit? Ick…
I love this comic! xD So diverse, and always fun.
No words or emoticons can express the strange and mixed emotions this page wells up in me.
OH NOSE!!!!!!!! ….. but why not SWITCH the interwebs contention co.
@ firedome:
Hope you don’t have Verizon FiOS, they’re dropping it as of right now, but the campaign being mounted in defence of FUNImation should catch their attention.
@ Starkittens:
You say that as if comcast is its own type of internet and DSL is a company.
I for one do not like Comcast, though my reason has less to do with service issues than it has to do with the fact that they screwed me when I used to work for them. I won’t go into the details here, but I was let go solely upon the word of a long time (4 yrs) customer, they didn’t even ask me my side of the story. They simply let me go in front of other employees that happened to be there to get their routes for the day.
Basically I can no longer work for Comcast again, ever… not that I’ll ever apply to work for them again anyways. I don’t care what the reason is, if it can be helped you don’t fire a person in front of the group. If you’re able to take them aside then do so. You also should ask the other side of the story, no matter what the claim. There are two sides, minimum, to every story.
I did get some, albeit small amount of, consolation out of the ordeal. My former bosses were later canned as I found out, they themselves screwed by the higher ups. I also get basically crush any chance of any sales persons they send my way.
“Oh, you want to sell me service through Comcast? Well, considering that this happened to me while I worked at Comcast. *insert whole story here* Tell me why I should even consider buying their service?”
They pretty much give up at that point. My family has also sworn off Comcast as well. Considering that my Mom’s side of the family is rather large, with MANY aunts and uncles (and their kids), they lost A LOT of potential business.
If I ever decide to get cable or the like, I won’t be going with Comcast.
Well, thats a tough one, I have comcast, and quite frankly, Its hard to tell which is more evil, this guy, or Comcast’s customer service.
Dude! Comcast >>>>> DSL!
@ Petah-Petah:
If you have to ask, you’ve never used Comcast.
That poor bastard his wallet is going to get killed…..
And now for something completely different!
@ Random Guy:
Bless you.
@ The Aussie Bloke:
Because.
@ Petah-Petah:
nerd alert!!
wiki tells that comcast is one of the biggest cable company’s in america.
This means Comcast has been the subject of criticism for activities including its stance on net neutrality as well as poor results on customer satisfaction surveys.
OF COURSE he isn’t bleeding, he a “heartless” creep.
Just what the hell happened here? ò_Ó
I do not get this at all.
really now?
i have Comcast and it is fast as hell, reliable too! i can’t tell you how many times i ahve been in a game with a group, to find them chanting “LAG LAG LAG” like it’s the end of days, while i don’t even have a drop in frame rate!
Um… We have Comcast… and it’s wonderful…
What’s this all about?
Yeah he definitely knows how to make money. Forcing your customer to sign on with your competitor is always a good idea.
That was his favourite hand? Oh well, I guess he’ll just have to use one of his spares for the time being. He does have spares doesn’t he?
now this is getting just weird first of all Sandra found a raccoon now the raccoon is biting hands off today
