Sandra, I really hope you’ll share your first edition of Watership Down eventually.
- Larisa: May I take your rare and valuable first edition of Watership Down to the beach?
- Sandra: No.
- Larisa: May I borrow your sun screen?
- Sandra: Yes.
- Larisa: May I set fire to your cell phone?
- Sandra: No.
- Larisa: May I briefly check my mail?
- Sandra: Yes.
- Boy: I’ll get some new ice.
- Larisa: May I exchange wild kisses with Cloud?
- Sandra: No.
- Larisa: May I play badminton with Cloud?
- Sandra: Yes.
- Larisa: May I fill your drinking bottle with molten lava?
- Sandra: No.
- Larisa: May I pour a bucket of ice water over your head?
- Sandra: Yes.
- Sandra: May I not separate your head from your body?
- Larisa: No… YES!
- Sandra: First answer counts!
pfft
kinda a “duck season rabbit season” thing going on huh?
What kind of game is that?
Now THAT is bad luck, Larisa. Run for your life!
May I not enjoy this comic?
Overton would not be amused.
Hmm. Sandra managed to get her dad to buy a much thinner bikini than those boy shorts she wore last time.
Haha, I love this type of humour.
Calvin: Mom, can I set fire to my bed mattress?
Mom: No, Calvin.
Calvin: Can I ride my bicycle on the roof?
Mom: No, Calvin.
Calvin: Then can I have a cookie?
Mom: No, Calvin.
Calvin: (thinking) She’s on to me.
“May I bend probability and deform causality to attract some mishap of a dubiously humourous nature to you? Again?”
“No!”
“So are you sure I can’t kiss Cloud wildly… just a bit?”
*sigh* “Very well.” *grumbles*

But like with most popular jokes, you have to work really hard to come up with a new twist to it.
*sigh* somehow when i was reading it, it sounded like they’re sisters and seeing what they can and can’t do with each others’ items. ^_^ ;
I hope Larrisa is a fast runner :p
Sandra is apparently gunning for the anchoring effect.
That’s actually the door-in-the-face technique.
SERIOUSLY bad timing!
Larisa is so funny. XD
HAHAHA, love Sandra’s eyes in the last panel!!
Why is she so mad? It’s what she wanted!
Women are so complicated.
Yay for the karma bus.
That’s “Yes” for your “No” Larissa
@ Novil:
I think you’ve done a pretty good job of it so far.
You’ll eventually find that people almost never actually want what they ask for. At least, not the way they often actually get it.
One almost suspects Larisa actually set that whole situation up… but how did she trick the guy with the bucket into doing it exactly then?
Just be glad Sandra wasn’t guarding a bridge when she asked you that question =)
@ Xane:
Actually, I don’t think Larissa planned that part, but she might’ve as I think that is her flip-flop he tripped over. I more of had the impression it was a ‘at some point in the future, but not immediately’ question. Still, Larissa (technically Novil, but in the Sandra and Woo universe it was Larissa) did a great job of setting that one up, to bad she fell victim to a different word-trick-in-a-question just afterwards.
Didn’t Larissa have a navel piercing not too long ago?
Sandra should know by now that dealing with Larisa should never be done on auto-pilot.
I would also totally have answered yes to the second to last question just to see how Larisa would do it.
Is it just me, or does Larisa appear to be growing breasts? It’s espeacially noticable on the last panel…
Now THAT is some of the cleverest mind-screwing I have seen in a while! XD
Sandra is soooo cute in last panel 🙂
@ Questioner:
Maybe she took it out so she didn’t get sand in all around the ring. Easier to clean.
And Larisa’s now prophetic.
[…] of laughing at someone else’s pain. Still, I must admit I enjoyed the twist in today’s Sandra and Woo, along with the shout out to the classic newspaper comic Calvin and Hobbes. Given the number of […]
So she put the sandal there knowing what would happen? But why did she tell if she can subtly manipulate situations like that?
Also, I think Larisa was right the first time. “No, you may not separate my head from my body,” she meant, rather than “Yes, you may separate my head from my body.” It’s different in some languages, though. I know from manga that in Japan they would say, “Yes, you may not separate my head from my body,” as opposed to “No, you may separate my head from my body.”
Sandra? You didn’t take Woo to the beach? : (
So many joke opportunities!
@ GreyWolf:
I always thought people wore these things exactly for showing them off at beaches or something.
Last panel: Nuh uh uh Larisa! No take-backsies!
That’s basic psychology when dealing with parents.
Ask first for something bigger and harder for them to say yes to, then ask them what you really want to do, it’ll be harder for them to refuse the second option.
Jedi mind trick FTW!!!! d (^_^) b
@ Shadow:
Glad to see I’m not the only one thinking so. I think the impression from the last panel comes from her arched back, Panel 4 shows it more I think. Yet over all I’d say she’s starting to develop some cleavage. Not too surprising, as she is about 13 now, which tends to be the age kids hit puberty.
I remember using “first answer counts” as a kid too!
What… The “next” button is gone… NOOOOOO My archive binge is over! *sobs*
I can’t decided if this is “Murphy’s law” or just Irony
now I remember…KISS CLOUD?!?! what about the nerd guy??? poor guy….
@ Crestlinger:
Karma runs frequently over dogma.
sexist jerk @ Bucc-i:
@ 1overX:
NO!
The premise of ice bucket challenge
Wow. Larisa’s either got her parent persuasion trick so ingrained she feels the need to use it on everyone, or she just likes messing with people.
I’m thinking the just likes messing with people.
@ Xane:
That’s what I want to know too.
Honestly on a day that sweltering, walking on hot sand… I’d welcome that ice bucket.
Ah good ole door in the face technique
Followd by the Bucket on the head technique
isn’t this called the door-in-face phenomenon?
