- Sandra: Luna is very shy. Please hold back a little.
- Luna: Hello, Sandra.
- Sandra: Hi, Luna. This is Woo, my raccoon.
- Luna: He’s very cute.
- Sandra: You can pet him if you want. He loves it.
- Luna: Raccoons are some kind of primitive dog, right?
- Sandra: No.

Oh, this will go well.
Oooh, will this be a new arc with both Sandra and Woo? Those are my favorites.
So this Luna character, is she a permanent new addition or just for this story arc? BECAUSE SHE BETTER NOT REPLACE BEN AND THEO!
Also kudos to you Novil for dividing the mathematics world as we know it using only an 8th grade Algebra problem
Well, maybe she’s referring to the Japanese’s Raccoon dog.
American Raccoon and Japanese Raccoon dog are different.
Wait a minute…that apartment looks somewhat, well, shabby. This would imply that she has a poor family, thus explaining her repetitive dressing in comic 644. This new element of knowledge now makes Zoe a first class discriminating bitch. Wow.

Exactly the point. Though, I was thinking Zoey was being cruel mostly to show Michelle that she’s the same mean-spirited Zoey she’s always been best friends with.
I taught middle school aged kiddies. I know the syndrome well. We called it “The Sixth Grade Witchies”. It didn’t happen every year but there would be years in which the dictum would come down from the principal’s office that sixth grade girls were forbidden to gather in groups of more than three at recess and lunch. And let me tell you we enforced it–with good reason!
Then suddenly, Woo talked. O.O
I love woo. I hope we get to see more of him. Not that I don’t enjoy the other characters as well, I just wish Woo was around a bit more.
I’m not sure what raccoons are. I never really thought about it.
Oh, phuck…
@ MawileCeyvis:
I actually thought that she was from a poor family when I saw that strip.
Maybe if Woo was a raccoon dog, she might’ve had something there.
So close, and yet so far.
Nice pun.

They are of the Family Procyonidae which also includes coatis, kinkajous, olingos, olinguitos, ringtails and cacomistles (as opposed the the family Canidae)
This is cute. Looks like we will have a S&W character that people won’t want dead.
Awh, I really like Luna as a character, can’t wait to see how she evolves. Also, happy new year everyone!
Happy new year, happy new resident to the cast. (With luck, anyway!)
If I’m remembering right, they’re more akin to bears.
Oh this is not going to go well.
Strange how she doesn’t notice woo is standing on two hind legs and wave when mentioned. I guess animals can do a lot of human-like things in this world and people will still think they are animals until they speak.
Uh oh….

The waving on cue is strange I’ll grant but Racoon’s on their hind feet standing to check you out is pretty standard behavior for them,

Only one of those is even pronounceable. I also only know what one of those is. Oddly enough, they are not the same one.
Do Not ‘Boop’ the nose!
I guess she’s not good at biology/zoology either.
After his little stunt on Thanksgiving she should have said “try and hold back a little and don’t hump their cat”

The ‘waving’ could be taken as ‘pawing’ at Luna / reaching out to touch her while checking her out.

I read somewhere, once upon a time, that “raccoon” was an American Indian word for “small bear”.
Oh my god, this is Luna’s house! It looks like she is poor…
My sympathies go straight to her…
Primitive? Primitive?
I’ll show her Primitive…
Maybe she’s a fan of latin, procyon does mean ‘pre dog’. And recent DNA studies have put raccoons a little closer to mustilids then ursines.
Now Woo, be nice. Ignorance can be corrected.
@ Iron Ed:
I thought it had something to do with the word meaning ‘to touch with hands’ or something like that?
By the way, this arc looks promising so far 🙂 I love the ones with Sandra and Woo in them together
i allways thought that they were a primitive cat

The name raccoon is from Virginia Algonquian aroughcun word aroughcun meaning “hand scratcher.” It scientific name lotor is Latin for “one who washes”, a name descriptive of the raccoon’s habit of using its front feet to forage for food in water.
Procyon (α CMi, α Canis Minoris, Alpha Canis Minoris; Br. pronunciation/ˈproʊsi.ɒn/[10]) is the brightest star in the constellation Canis Minor. To the naked eye, it appears to be a single star, the eighth brightest in the night sky with a visual apparent magnitude of 0.34.[3] It is actually abinary star system, consisting of a white main-sequence star of spectral type F5 IV–V, named , and a faint white dwarf companion of spectral type DQZ,[5] named . The reason for its brightness is not its intrinsic luminosity but its relative closeness to the Sun; as determined by the European Space Agency Hipparcos astrometry satellite,[1][11] it lies at a distance of just 11.46 light-years (3.51parsecs),[2] and is therefore one of our nearest stellar neighbours. Its closest neighbour is Luyten’s Star, about 1.12 ly (0.34 pc) away, and the latter would appear as a visual magnitude 2.7 star in the night sky of a hypothetical planet orbiting Procyon.
Therefore, racoons (procyon lotor, notably) are actually aliens from the Procyon star system. Therefore it’s not surprising Woo can talk. Rocket Racoon, one of Star Lords comrades in arms (Guardians of the Galaxy, qv.) not only can talk but also fly a star ship and use offensive weaponry. QED.

@ MawileCeyvis:
That was an 8th grade problem . .. It hurt my brain.
Nice KNOWING you, Luna….
Oliver, you should consider selling prints of Sandra and Woo strips.
The poor dear’s not too bright, either.
I always love to see the rants that people get into that have hardly nothing even to do with the original comic. Thank you all for making my day Mondays and Thursdays. 🙂

Was it effective? Man I remember my sis going through that and it was terrible. We weren’t poor but who knows why cliques decide you’re not cool enough. Some of us here know just how much it can hurt.
I’m sure she’s confusing them with foxes as they are in the same family as dogs and wolves. Although I don’t think the word primitive is the right word in evolution even if somehow an ancestor could exist at the same time as it’s descendants.
