- Woo: Lily just can’t get over the fact that a human could break her neck with a single stroke.
- Sandra: Hmm.
- Richard: Sandra, why are you still not– What the..?!
- Richard: How on earth did you tie yourself up like that?
- Sandra: Jeez, just when we were starting to make some progress!

Not good enough Woo, Sandra could still bite or kick from that position. The safest bet is to wrap your human in duct tape from head to toe until Lily gets acclimated to her.
Well, that’s an interesting definition of “progress.”
“with great difficulty, is how!”
No worries. Richard entering a dynamic situation had always been in my opinion a leap in progress.
Alternative idea: have Woo arrange for a nighttime visit.
Woo: …and those are the signs that give away when a human is waking up. And even if she did, they just can’t find things in the dark. Doesn’t she look peaceful… and harmless?
Lily: I don’t know. Their control over nature is still scary. I mean, this cloud she keeps mumbling about… is she really going to be able to get it to do all those things for her?
Won’t be much longer before Richard will be able to write a book about all of the un-explainable things he’s walked in on his daughter doing.

Ooooo, mind screw!
I don’t mean to be “that guy” but I don’t think I’ve ever called my dad, “dude.” Granted my dad is a jerk but you see what I’m saying?
“Dude, just when we were starting to make some progress!”
I laughed. Hard.
…and now Lily thinks Sandra’s Dad thinks raccoon abduct human children.
“Seriously! He probably though I was gonna EAT her right there!”
I would have said “Dude, I did this on PURPOSE!”
Now that I think about it, I miss seeing these in color.
There is so very much wrong with her tied up like that.
And don’t you people dare downthumb this. Recall, if you all will, the bathing suit story that was just one long boner joke.

That kinda struck me as odd myself, definitely out of character for Sandra. I would have expected “Daddy”.
“Dude?” What has been happening to Sandra’s vocabulary?
Who calls their own dad “dude?”
Woah, I guess Lily and Sandra will became great friends!
For me, “dude” is equivalent to “hey!”, so it sounds normal to me, although admittedly it does look odd in writing.
~30 year old Missourian, totally not a surfer
Great Calvin & Hobbes tribute! That one comic for me solidified the question of whether or not Hobbes was “real”. No way Calvin could have tied himself up like that 🙂
In the last panel, I exchanged Sandra’s “Dude” with “Jeez” as “Dude” seems to have a slightly different meaning than which was intended for the dialog.

Ah, now I see. You should have used “Man” instead of “Dude” in that case.
I like that wallpaper, and I just recently discovered…well, more like was directed to…this comic by a friend of mine who discovered it a few days ago. She insisted I come visit, and really, I love this. I just subscribed, too, so I’ll know when new ones pop up. Thanks, and keep up the awesome work.
How she did that? Lessons from Ye Thuza most likely. Best not to dwell on the ‘why’
“How on Earth could you tie yourself up like that?”
“It was Woo, Dad! Honest!”
… 😉
You know, one could break a PERSON’S neck with a single stroke. You just need to know how…
@ Novil: I liked “Dude” better. It has a colloquial exclamatory and urgency factor you don’t get with “Jeez”

I love how he notices that Sandra’s tied up, and completely misses Lily.
Most likely just me but this joke really feels like it has gone on far too long. I really hope we don’t end up spending liek seven stripes on this. The boner joke was far too long.
Sandra’s father probably didn’t say anything about Lily since Woo can’t be seen in the last panel, he probably just thought it was Woo and that Woo ran away from being startled by his yelling.
@ Nick/Tyrong:
I knew it.
This reminds me of something…
It’s just a Good Thing that dad didn’t find Cloud in the room…

Cloud would be easier to explain: this is just more rebel training involving resisting interrogation and escaping.

Doubt it. Even the coolest dad in the world would be upset if he caught his daughter engaged in bondage fantasies with a boy. Whether he liked the boy or not.
It’s the inverse Houdini trick.
It’s very much possible to tie yourself up with a few lessons of self-bondage..
If I was the father, I would notice the unfamiliar raccoon first, anyway x.x
Awesome! Poke poke.
Selfbondage with raccoon=progress
Noted, Sandra is a great life coach!
I’m convinced that Lilly’s reaction sounded the same as Solid Snake being detected by an enemy.
@ Crestlinger:
i mean how does 13 year olds started practicing self-bondage. Its not even legal
