I plan to commission other artists to draw high-quality artwork featuring characters from Sandra and Woo for our Patreon patrons (not necessarily in a 16:10 wallpaper format).
As a first step, I’d like to ask all of our patrons for suggestions what you would like to see. You may provide as many ideas as you like and also make the descriptions as detailed as you like. In fact, I’d even prefer detailed descriptions.
- Luna: W– what…?!
- Jennesta: Sandra told us everything about your dire situation, Luna. So the whole class chipped in and donated all these things for your new home.
- Benjamin: Most also didn’t find the alternative of being roasted alive by Larisa particularly compelling.
- Sandra: … And this should cover your bills for a while.
- Luna: Sandra, that’s…
- Larisa: I’ve sold my flamethrower for you, Luna! My flamethrower!!
- Larisa: I hope you’re happy now!
- Luna: I am!

Oh grief, I can’t stop laughing! That’s so beautiful.
Thank you for cheering me up no end. (^_^)
The question is – whom sold she the flamethrower to? 😮
Love the Classic Bag-o-Money!

The internet, duh…
Nice… Glad there was a happy ending! Still wanna know what is in the box tho…
I see. Used the flamethrower first, sold it later.
Though by now just about any classmate should know that Larisa does not need such a tool to light a fire. Still probably helpful for convincing people.
And I wonder how long it takes until she gets a new one.
How come Luna has open circles for eyes (panels 3 and 4)? I thought that ended with Little Orphan Annie.

Now that I think about it. Maybe a gift card for a clothes store? It would fit in the box and make sense both as a gift and for her to not open the box until she saw the new state of her flat.
@ FloppyNotFound:
@ Peter:
Evidently, she sold it for a decently high price, given the size of that money bag. At least, I’m assuming that’s where the bag came from. Some may have also come from classmates with no items to donate (I mean, if they have to donate something to avoid being roasted…).
It was “Spaceballs – The Flamethrower”, too! The actual one used in the movie! 🙁
Also, after that full-day workshop, I’m sure she realizes just how much that flamethrower meant to Larisa.
@ Lukkai:
I’ll place my bets on a nice roundoff comic wherein Zoey finds herself unable to pick on Luna for her attire.
As far as this comic is concerned, aww, snuggles, rainbows, et cetera.
Awwwwwwerload!
good for her, but i think i would just feel shame and make everyone take their stuff back, i prefer to be poor with my pride than accepting pity.
but i’m a gritty adult, not a kids, kids don’t deserve that
Can’t she just get another one? Or design a home made flamethrower? I’d think it would be fun trying to figure out what common, everyday objects could be turned into a pyromaniac’s tool.
Flamethrowers don’t grow on trees, guys
@ Carmeops:
I was actually kinda thinking the same. It’s even harder when your ‘benefactors’ are friends / close acquaintances / …
Oh well, I guess you’re also right in that kids don’t deserve that. :-/
Am I the only one that’s troubled by “_most_ didn’t find the alternative compelling?”
Is there an even bigger pyromaniac than Larisa?
Hmm… It seems that Ben isn’t too concerned about getting his feet chopped off with an axe anymore. Though, I’ pretty sure I’m wrong.
@ Jumtrev:
*I’m*
@ Carmeops:
Had the same feeling. Wonder how her father reacted.
It said “… roasted alive by Larisa…”. @ Dullahan:
@ ekimmak:
Spray sunscreen, hand sanitizer, and bugspray are the ones that come to mind.
I think most people would find the alternative of not being roasted alive by Larisa to be compelling. ^_^
Well, that was unexpectedly happy… 🙂
And Youtube comments would probably be something along the lines of, “All that money for ONE person? You could have helped feed hundreds with that sort of money! What a waste…”
A charitable flamethrower. I like that idea, but is it better than the healing shiv?

Everyone knows that your Pupils Expand when you are Happy.
Luna has Very Large Pupils at the moment.
Poor flamethrower, it will never have an owner who treated it with as much love and respect as Larissa did.
@ FloppyNotFound:
The Fire Insurance Salesman… it all makes sense now.

Yes, because it’s heartwarming.
@ S.K.Ren:
Weeeeelll… crap. Hadn’t actually considered that. XD If so, well done – well done indeed!
Alright this is all very touching and funny. But you people seem to be ignoring the big question. Who the heck donated a flat screen?
That was amazing of them…and Larisa, I am certain Santa will get you a new one girl.
@ ekimmak:A can of hair spray and a lighter would work. Or grab an empty spray bottle, fill it with accelerant, jury rig a pilot light and presto, instant flame thrower. The old type of metal pump bug sprayer would work a treat. Larisa needs to indulge her inner MacGuyver. Btw, I’ve never done anything like that, really, so I wouldn’t know. 😉
Beautiful.
Is good
Well, that’s certainly better than what I was fearing, namely finding her dad… yeah.
That’s what people may call THE donation. 😀
//=================================
Y U NO put Luna in Cast tab? O_O
So… what’s in the box?
@ Carmeops:
Do not scorn pity that is the gift of a gentle heart.
Self esteem is one thing. Pride that will not accept generosity from friends has crossed over into selfishness.
Oh my. This story is so good!
And then we check in with reality…?
@ ekimmak:
I actually figured out quite some time back how I could turn some fairly innocuous items into a nasty faux flamethrower / napalm dispenser, but I’d only ever try it (and hope it didn’t explode and incinerate me) if it was an emergency, such as open warfare.
She sold her…her flamethrower?!?! Luna better be happy. You know its a big deal when a pyromaniac sells her best friend to help another friend.
Larisa with no flamethrower? EVERYONE is going to be happy – for now! Probably…
Larisa: *Sigh…* We’ve had some good times, ol’ flamey… and I’m just going to be left with my spare, and the prototype ultraflamer… oh well, better get to work refining and testing it!!
>:=)>
Actually, she’s happy Larisa sold the Flamethrower
Wow… Is a flamethrower that expensive?

The Obozo administration seems to be in the market for such instruments. They’ve got less than two years to finish destroying the evidence of all their criminal malfeasances, not to mention Hitlery’s need to scour the records and “disappear” the most recent crop of Clintonian corpses before the elections of 2016. Napalm would seem to be a necessity.
One li’l old flamethrower can hardly do the job. Maybe Larisa got herself an advance on a cost-plus contract to supply several dozen units?
Strips like these make her first appearance, in which she seeks revenge by ice, quite funny.
