- Shadow: Humans are weird.
- Woo: We shouldn’t judge them, Shadow.
- Shadow: Why not?
- Woo: Their mating season begins on January 1 and ends on December 31. How they keep up with that without going bonkers is beyond me.
- Shadow: Maybe they’re just particularly good at hiding their true nature.
- Woo: That would explain a lot.
- Sid: What did you put in his wine, tamarind?

No, Sid! Don’t ask that question!
Saved by the end of the arc.

There ARE humans who go bonkers during mate season.
They’re called “teenagers”.
I could imgine those three walking away from a nuclear blast, having just started WWIII.
i know this is nitpicking but does sid seem unusually tall?
@ Mokunen:
over 50% of the readers of sandra and woo are hard core gamers.
Gamers are 30% to build time travel Machines.
This Equals that he/she IS a Time traveler.
@ GamerOfTime:
when reading that comment, put “more likely” after the 30% Please.
Well ya see Shadow it’s really not that their good at mating it’s that they get easily aroused. And yes humans are weird. Wonder if Steve’s doing ok. I mean he drank urine, which isn’t all that great due to bacteria and stuff. Wouldn’t want him to vomit on miss Dungeon Fetish.
We never did find out what was inside the oven. PLEASE TELL US WHAT’S INSIDE THE OVEN!!!!

Well not all of them are like that. Usually they become less “bonkers” after one gets past the rubber ducky. 😉

Implying it isn’t the adults who are completely insane. And I say this as an adult.
Human males are pretty unique if compared with other male creatures on earth, as long they have the stamina and enough “ammunition” they can go on mating everyday all year long. Human females are also similar but they have “off days” every month (except for some of them who love it “bloody rare”) for 40-50 years.
This is why humans, even with lack of extra strength, fur, healing skill, etc etc able to rule the world. We just keep breeding and breeding.
Reminds me Ramsess II, that guy is long lived (in Egyptian standard of that time, when most people usually only reach 30-40 years old lifespan) and have hundreds of kids.
I guess humans don’t go bonkers because they have a resting period between December 31 and January 1.
@ Switch Master:
Actually, most animal’s Urine is pretty close to Sterile unless they have a Bladder Infection.
The Kidneys do all the Work of producing Urine unlike the Intestines which are Loaded with bacteria because they actually Help with Digestion.
A year long mating season, and I never get an invite. Try not going bonkers about that!

Hey! I resemble that remark!
@ Jerry:
Still I wouldn’t go around drinking Urine just cause it’s steril. I also heard that you can get infections like MERS by coming into contact with camel fluids of a camel that has been infected with it. But ewww. Took it way over the top shadow.
@ Jerry:
Well most animals drink water so I guess besides bacteria found in water, there’s nothing to filter out. But I agree with @ Invisible Dancing Bottom: I still would feel kinda grossed out if I knew my drink had urine in it.
“Shadow: Humans are weird.”
I get that vibe from our cats quite a bit.
@ GamerOfTime:
time travel is possible, however it would need the energy of a billion suns to make just one trip
I hate to say it but I’d rather see what happened to him than this!
@ ahwilliampenn:
Give me a few hours and paint.net. I’ll try to make it work.
Hey, there are no DS, 3DS or Vita options in the poll on the right.
Odd to create a poll that doesn’t mention some of the most popular current-gen gaming systems.
Actually, Woo is somewhat incorrect.
MALE humans have the year-long mating season.
FEMALE humans have a two-day mating season every 4-to-5 weeks.
The rest of the time, they’re just going nuts.
We’re rapidly approaching comic #666, Novil! Care to share any of your plans?
ALSO sorry for not commenting lately, had some trouble with my job. As it turns out, my boss was actually a ex-con for murder. And he, well, did it again. When one of my fellow employees tipped off the police, they arrested him. My former boss thought I did the tipping, and so he framed me as an accomplice. Took a few weeks to sort that out, but I’m back!

Be advised to take notes.

gotta love that time between 11:59:59:99 and 12:00:00:00
They’ve had their fun. It’s time to begin a new adventure.
…and all I could find out about tamarind that’s possibly relevant is that it is an extremely healthy laxative.

@ Petah-Petah:
Unfortunately the joke with the time specifications of the German version doesn’t exist in the English version. There Woo defines the mating season of humans to »January 1st, 0:00 o’clock to December 31st, 24:00 o’clock«; 24:00 means 0:00 of the next day. Maybe this doesn’t translate into English well; at least not to the a.m./p.m. system.
Hopefully we can push for #666 on halloween 🙂 @ MawileCeyvis:

IT’S ME AUSTIN. IT’S ME AUSTIN. IT WAS ME AAAALL ALOOONG AUSTIN.
Yay, the end of the arc! As much as I liked it, I wanted to see the humans again 😛 shocking, i know.

Rhamsess II is known to have married at least four of his own daughters. Of his daughter-wives only Bintanath is known to have been a mother.
Honestly, Woo, I have no idea how our mating season even survived thousands and thousands of years of prejudice and repression.
“Humans are weird.”
That they are. I fail to understand them myself most days. Especially their obsession with this “pole-o’-ticks” stuff. I mean, really, who likes ticks inside of poles that much?
————————–
In other news, this has been an amazingly funny arc and I loved every second of it.
Well, I’m glad that story’s over. After the Dorothy Cambridge thing it’s the second arc that made me kinda uncomfortable.
Sid called him tamarind because once the tamarind was used with slavery, to make the slaves work hard? Or am I wrong?

If humanity (as a whole) were to ever let ideological concerns get in the way of reproduction we would be the most pathetic species to have ever died out, ever.
My mating season last between December 32 to January 0.
@ Switch Master:
Nope, Harriett may be the nasty piece of work, but I kinda liked how the arc was resolved. The other two I mentioned just seemed off in a holistc way. Plus I found neither very funny. Don’t want to go much deeper than that, since I’m pretty sure there are already enough flame wars on the respective comment pages, and I don’t want to start another.
Anyway, here’s hoping
@ Edster:
I don’t understand: neither of those dates exi– OH, I see what you did there…

THIS. Amazingly, I went a good 30 years of life before finding this out. Trying to conceive is a bitch. Going nuts is fun, though.
We humans are pretty unique in that we mate for other reasons than producing offspring. Note though, just pretty unique since we are not the only ones. Dolphins also mate for other reasons than reproduction.
Anyway, it’s rather funny seeing them saying that humans are weird. Not only are they humanized animals, but in the first strip of this arc Shadow and Echo were very human in their mating behavior. I guess the contradiction is fitting though, this whole arc relies upon a contradiction where animals feel the same as humans about privacy, but humans somehow are completely unaware of it.
Oh no, I am feeling that some sick fan would put Rule 34 of the BDSM lady and the photographer.
