I loved them. Not only are they hilarious. They also add quite a bit of realism to Sandra and Woo. If you care to think about it, life isn’t always fair.
Sometimes someone does something entirely legal (and from his own point of view morally perfectly acceptable) to you which you hate for one reason or another and you cannot do anything because it was legal – which sucks for you.
And sometimes you decide to get some illegal or morally questionable kind of revenge on that other someone, like taking a crap on their doorstep, damaging their car, photoshopping some pictures and then send them to his wife or poisoning his dog (for example when it’s barking all night long which is quite unhealthy for all neighbors).
No matter how morally (and illegal) wrong those things may be, it’s undeniable that they DO happen in real life which is why the aforementioned strips are not unrealistic (talking animals aside).
If you don’t like stories where people are treated unfairly, you cannot even read the bible. Or do you think Jesus deserved being nailed to a cross? (which is far from the worst being done to bible characters)

Of course he (she/it?) does not realize that. Their parents have probably always blocked any documentary channels to prevent their children seeing any of that unholy animal porn.
And isn’t it interesting how that censor bar (although it’s not really a bar) makes everyone think of the same thing?
Some think: “It’s censored. So it must be something naughty.”
Others think: “It’s censored. So it must be evil beyond measure (= something naughty).”
The expression on Lily’s face could easily be explained as her having just had an enormous and delicious meal and perhaps one or two bites too much.
All that being said, some of those comments are not entirely unreasonable. Maybe before each strip a warning should be included, something like:
“Warning! This comic does not deny the existence of sex. Reading this comic in intolerant countries like Saudi Arabia, Iran, Islamic State or the USA might result in prudes demanding your willy be whacked off.”

While technically true, most western democracies like the US are in fact Republics where a very small minority are in fact responsible for all laws… they’re called politicians. Sometimes they even make laws the vast majority of their own voters don’t like or are completely ridiculous. (or just never get rid of laws that have outlived their usefulness… because there’s no such thing as a law that politicians don’t like)
As for us “backward Americans” smothering sex in all areas of life, the biggest supporters of US and Canadian laws that bar sex imagery are unelected and unaccountable hard core 2nd Wave feminist lobbyists on the grounds that it contributes to violence against women. As such, in most businesses, display of anything of a sexual nature can result in immediate termination and (in some locals) charges of sexual harassment. This can happen even if the “injured party” only saw the image incidentally. (i.e. they look over your shoulder and happen to see it without you intending for them to)
In some places authorities can even file criminal charges if a minor child is known to have viewed “sexual imagery”, resulting in parents having their children taken from them and being made to register as a sex offender. All in the name of “protecting our children”.
So who is really to blame for the perpetuation of “American prudishness”?
Sandra’s Mad.
I think everyones tearing into each other. If someone has a opinion, don’t respond with negativity. Just say okay and move on
I don’t get why people are so upset and offended by this strip, there were similar jokes before and the comic isn’t all about cuteness etc.
I like the stark contrast to the peace that was going on in the last few Strips.
If you want a tad comic, go read Garfield. You should’ve known what you were getting into when you started reading a webcomic. Thanks for all the fish wrote:
@ Tim:
Quite certain Lilly did >;) Probably twice given her expression Lmao
