- Larisa: Hey, Cloud, let’s play some beach volleyball!
- Cloud: Nah, I don’t feel like it.
- Sandra: Come on, don’t be a wuss!
- Cloud: No!
- Larisa: I guess he really doesn’t feel like it…
- Caption: Cloud casts: “Vanish self”
- Caption: “Vanish self” failed!
- Cloud: Damn.

No, no, for that kind of status ailment, the only cure is a soft potion.
Hahahaha! Oh these last two have been real funny… Poor Cloud.
Should’ve cast “Cold Shower”.
Mother nature, embarrassing man since the prehistoric time.
Wasn’t there a raccoon in this comic somewhere? You know, major character… pushed to the side for normal uninteresting humans?
@ Petah-Petah:
He should’ve tried jumping in the lake, that always sends my little guy running for cover.
At this point, i’m certain Cloud would’ve wanted to cast X-Zone on himself =P
Cruel, cruel Sandra.
And Larisa didn’t even see the opportunity there to castigate Sandra for her insensitivity and try to score points with Cloud. I wonder whether next strip we’ll see the girls in a shoving, clawing and hair-pulling-type race as they struggle to be the first one to get back to him and deliver a heartfelt, contrite and puppy-dog-eyed apology.
Totally unfair of the girls to laugh at his shame but he could get a small amount of pay-back if either girl sports a “headlight” problem. 🙂
Might be embarrassing now but he has something good to show when he older.
oh now that’s awkward
Ouch, vanish fail!
I feel really sorry for Cloud, but this is really making me laugh like crazy!
Ah, how I missed the Final Fantasy references in this comic 🙂
Wow, Sandra is stronger than she looks…
Haha poor Cloud. After all the training he has done he still can’t handle his “sword” to well XD
I’m in tears right now… if he can get out of this gracefully I’ll take my hat off to him.
It’s my worst nightmare come true!!
They seemed to take it well. You might as well play now that they already know.
Poor Cloud. I’m reminded of the passages dealing with “getting hard” in Judy Blume’s novel of male puberty, Then Again, Maybe I Won’t. The protagonist, about his age, found some clever solutions for concealing his bulge. Mind you, this was at school, not the beach, so he was wearing more, and had ready access to textbooks for strategic placement.
I was hoping for Nelson to come out from nowhere and doing his classic “HA HA!” while pointing at Cloud.
Note: Nelson is that bully kid from the Simpsons.
should have rolled down the hill and into the lake.
I’m sorry if my previous comment offended many of you.
I do not mean to troll, 🙁 it’s just that:
Comic about a talking raccoon: Interesting
Comic about teens doing normal things: Boring…
See what I’m getting at?
I gotta quote Anchorman:
“Don’t act like you’re not impressed.”
@ Dartpaw86:
This is not your comic. Don’t act as if you have creative control.
I enjoy these human characters and they are as much a part of this comic as Woo is.
Comments like yours lessen my ability to enjoy conversing with the online community that also reads this comic.
Since I haven’t played any Final Fantasy games but 7 (and I got so frustrated with it a fourth of the way through the first disk I took it out and sold it back to the GameStop I got it at) I can’t really toss out any FF references, but I will say I hope Sandra’s going to apolgize for laughing.
I don’t think she’s laughing AT Cloud, more like a nervous laugh to shake off the shock of ‘seeing’ a part of Cloud she never really thought about with any focus. But now that’s going to be something she knows about and if she learns his situation was because of his thoughts for her, Sandra’s going to have to be a bit more understanding and realize what Cloud’s going through to a degree.
Sandra is going to have to realize she weilds a lot of power over her boyfriend now and needs to learn how to use that power for good.
@ Strife:
I apologize, I “do” like the comic the way it is, and I am not asking them to change anything. That is bullying and pressuring. I am just saying my opinion that I miss seeing Woo around.
If I really wanted to complain or have them change something I would have E-Mailed them or just go write my own comic.
Of course it failed. An FF7 character can’t cast an FF6 spell. 🙂
@ Petah-Petah:
Cold shower and “Think about baseball”
When in doubt, whip it out.
ufufufufufu, how precious ^w^ youth
I can’t help but feel bad for poor Cloud–especially in panel 3–although the look on his face is priceless….
Ouch! Poor Cloud! ^^;
It’s hilarious, but in my experience, a girl that age would be just as embarrassed as the boy!
At least his arrogant little friend diidn´t try something stupid.
Like “Hello~ Ladies!”. Then again, he shouldn´t talk to anyone but Cloud himself,
a talking for everybody to hear one would really be embarassing.
That is why I you should always wear baggy jeans/short….it hides some of the bulge….

Well, they DID have a brief moment of O_O-face…
Poor, poor, Cloud. You trained yourself so thoroughly to always face the danger, to always confront your fears…
Poor Cloud…it didn’t even occur to you to hide yourself from their eyes till it was far too late, did it? That exposing and facing your fears is meaningless when what you fear is facing exposure.
The two most significant girls in your life have now seen you at your most…exposed. Your humiliation is complete. This is pretty much as worst case scenario as things could get on the beach.
And it won’t get better. You cannot vanish. And they will not abandon you. Not even after being so embarrassed that Sandra is left speechless and Larissa’s normally rapier wit can barely churn out a weak quip. Their retreat in the face of victory will not last long.
Poor Cloud. Sandra, such a good girlfriend, will try and make sure you are “feeling better”. Larissa, a different type of friend, will kid you mercilessly. Both girls, in their own awkward and inexperienced way, will try to comfort you. This will work about as well as your attempts to comfort these young ladies will go when puberty strikes them with decidedly less gentle consequences.
Congratulations on Leveling Up to the next stage of the game, Cloud. There’s no going back now.
@ Zero:
We had to wear school uniforms which unfortunately made any bulging rather noticeable. In order to avoid embarrassment when being called on in class, I cut out a piece of cardstock and would place it in my underwear, to guide any unexpected growth. This also served to avoid any painful situations when growth was being hampered by a kinked position and physical re-arrangement was too risky.
In a way, it is every boy’s worst nightmare — and it became a reality for Cloud. I daresay he’ll be a tad angsty around the house and school for a while, afraid that his ‘secret’ will be revealed to the world at large. He may be tongue-tied around Sandra and Larisa, too… and they may just enjoy the opportunity to make a little fun of him.
The girls may have been stunned for a second, but it didn’t take long for that inherent female “mean gene” to kick in, which in turn gives them that ability to make a mans embarrassment feel 10 times worse.
The naughty look on larissa’s face on the final panel makes me curious ….. 😀
“Words aren’t the only way to tell someone how you feel.” That Tifa quote just NAILED it.
Sorry Cloud, but even the randomly cycled quotes underneath the banner won’t let you live this one down.
One Does Not simply Vanish when your “Warrior” wants to use your “limit break”…
Okay…now Larissa found something new to make some jokes….
Mean to Cloud and proof that a guys are always taken advantage of and teased by women.
Honestly, she couldn’t just take the no for an answer?
Personally, I’m hoping this leads to some drama of Cloud and Sandra having a period of not seeing each other.
@ Dizzy D.:
Unlikely since you can see them gigling in last panel…
But it seems Cloud is really in need of counsel… is Landon on the beach with them? Smart people always have answers…

Well thinking back I do not think my girl friends (not girlfriends…) As defined by Sheldon Cooper in TBBT, were…
But as I am czech (you know, wild “eastern Europe”) at that time I think everyone in our elementary school knew how it was… parents were used to explaining to us kids really early… I actualy think it was far simpler to talk about it sooner when we weren´t yet bombarded with our hormons rather than later.
Tch, he should’ve just run when he had the chance. Can’t save the world if you DIE FROM EMBARRASSMENT. 😀
Next strip:
Sandra: “Hey uhm Cloud….let me fix that erection for you”
Cloud: *GULP*
-censored panel-

At least it didn’t talk this time. The question is, would they have even noticed it if he acted like nothing was wrong?
