From 11 August 2012 to 8 February 2013, the following eight polls ran on Sandra and Woo. All of them got over a thousand votes and it’s time to present the results. There are now four new polls that appear randomly in the right sidebar.
Poll from 11 August 2012:
My two favorites are The Lord of the Rings and Back to the Future. The Godfather is also my least favorite movie trilogy.
Poll from 11 August 2012:
67% of our readers read 12 webcomics or less. In the same poll from 23 June 2009, only 46% read 12 webcomics or less. The number of voters that read 30 comics or more fell from 22% to 12%. I think this shows that a larger portion of casual webcomic readers, in contrast to webcomic fans, now also read Sandra and Woo, not that people read fewer webcomics nowadays. But one can’t be sure.
Poll from 11 August 2012:
While 20% of our readers sometimes use a smartphone to access Sandra and Woo, only 13% sometimes use a tablet.
Poll from 11 August 2012:
Only 11% of our readers have bought books from two or more webcomic creators. This shows that publishing a Sandra and Woo book is likely not worth the effort.
Poll from 20 November 2012:
The social media buttons below the comic are used rarely. But I think they blend in well with the general page layout and they load fast, so I probably won’t remove them.
Poll from 20 November 2012:
My personal favorites Princess Mononoke and Laputa: Castle in the Sky, which tells a really exciting adventure story, are only on 3rd and 7th place. I also liked Spirited Away, but I found the story and the character development of Howl’s Moving Castle confusing. The incredibly cute fire demon Calcifer saved the movie, though.
Poll from 20 November 2012:
Only 7% of our readers are vegetarians of some sort. This might even be below the ratio in the general population in the age group from 14 to 30. Then again, Sandra and Woo features several carnivores that aren’t afraid to eat cuddly rodents.
Poll from 20 November 2012:
Without an in-depth look at those who have a rather complex opinion on the matter, 36% of our readers are supportive of hunting, whereas only 25% are against it. I thought the option “I’m rather against it.” would receive significantly more than 14% of all votes, maybe 30%.
You used the word “rather”. Did you know that word has opposite implications? It can mean “to some degree” (meaning 2 in dictionary.com), or “more willingly” (meaning 4).
So “I rather support it” could mean “I support it a little”, or it could mean “I would do anything to make it happen”. Your results could be distorted a bit by that.

I’d just like to say that when voting on “have you already bought a book collection from another webcomic,” I voted “yes, from several webcomics,” and wished I could add “and proud of it.”
i was disappointed that i didn’t see my favorite miyazaki film on the list (okay, technically it wasn’t a miyazaki film, but it did come from his company).
Au contraire… I bought a few webcomic printouts, however, in my opinion you can’t strictly say that a print of sandra and woo is not worth the effort.
The reason I don’t buy many webcomics is, that most of them simply are not printed. If S&W were printed, I’d totally buy it. This also accounts for about 3-4 other webcomics I read regularly.
However: No print = no reason to buy…
I think this poll was a little bit… well… not precisely formulated. =/
@ firedome:
…which is…? 🙂
@ Fenny_C:
To further this comment, might I recommend rerunning this question with the addition of “No or one, but I would if I had the option” or something else that would reflect this opinion.
the reason i liked Howl’s Moving Castle was the general steam-punk and magic atmosphere
I would like to state that the tablet vs PC poll is probably REALLY skewed. For example, I ALWAYS use a tablet to read your comics (via an RSS reader app) and I never even knew you HAD polls, let alone there was one for “Do you use a tablet?”. 🙂
I noticed only now that some of the favorite Hayao Miyazaki poll’s options aren’t Miyazaki’s movies… I’m getting lazy, usually I’m eager to remind people that Studio Ghibli has other directors beside Miyazaki. xD Credit where credit is due.
I’m all for films with a steampunk or fantasy element, but Howl’s was kind of a disappointment for me. I’m not normally one that has difficulty separating a movie from the book it’s based on, but like the Tales of Earth Sea movie, also from Miyazaki, it was a complete bastardization. Even as a Miyazaki film I kind of felt it fell flat.
I’m kind of hard pressed to say which one I liked better out of Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke. My Neighbor Totoro was among the first Miyazaki films I watched and for that alone it remains a strong favorite as well.
Testament to Miyazaki’s talent and brilliance though, my mom LOATHES Anime of any kind but she actually liked Kiki’s Delivery Service.
