[0725] Under A Killer Balloon: The Cereal Killer, Page 3
└ posted on Thursday, 8 October 2015, by Novil
This is one of those strips where you ponder for ages what Woo could say in the last panel. This time, I think, I came up with a really good line.
- Sandra: They took our cereal, Woo. They took it and spoiled all that was once good and pure about it.
- Sandra: Of course we mustn’t rely on the thoroughly corrupt police solving this dreadful crime.
- Sandra: Fortunately, there’s still one woman in this godforsaken city who takes a stand for law and raisin-free cereal!
- Sandy South: … Sandy South, private eye extraordinaire!
- Qoo: This city is doomed.

Did you write Qoo in the Textblock (“Qoo:”) by purpose or is it an error?
I’m curios about Sandy’s success. Call for help if you need Sandy 🙂
“Qoo” is the official name of Sandy South’s sidekick. (Even got his own tag!)
And once again Qoo gets to the heart. Sandy’s back, yay!
Too me a minute to realize why Woo was covering his eyes. Apparently not only is he a raccoon, he’s a gentleman as well!
Nice to see Sandy South return. Wonder what mysteries she’ll uncover in her hunt for the truth??
Totally unrelated note: I hope we can check in with Larissa and Landon soon(ish). I ‘d like to see how their relationship is doing in light of Larissa’s ‘ooops’ .
Is it the raisins or the “no sugar” which has Sandra so upset?
Well, here we go again.
On the other hand:
Sandy, wat R U doing? Sandy, NO! stahp, STAHP!

@ Leomon:
On that note, Rick built us a team for Folding@home.

It…took me awhile to notice his reply. I don’t suspect hardly anyone else will see it there, under the old strip.
I like Woo covering his eyes to preserve Sandra’s modesty in panel #3
Yes, Sandra is much more reserved than Larisa and Qoo respects that.
Sandy South is back! What clues will she discover? What obstacles will appear to obstruct her? How will she deal with them?
Sandy South (staring intently at a complex diagram on her desk): Yes… yes… that tells me that that one is the twin of this fellow here… who makes up the remainder of this little grouping here… and all of that adds up to… yes! So I just take out these ones that I’ve already ID’d, and that lets me know that the secret angle I’ve been searching for is… 42.5 degrees! Yes, unknown angle theta is 42.5, and that’s my maths homework done-
Qoo: Internal angles of any six-sided figure add up to 720 degrees. The ones you’ve put on this lot here add up to 803.
Sandy South: Well, of course! It’s part of a whole web of deceit and corruption! Not a single square or right angle in sight!
Qoo: *sigh* And you’ll end up in a whole web of detentions and counselling.
>:=)>
yay, Noir tale!
And Qoo is already puting South on her place
LOL!
@ Edda:
I think it was the fact that it went “splorch” when poured into the bowl. Not only full of raisins and sugar free, but wet in the box. XP
Wow, I got to this page exactly when they posted it O.o
And well, this is Sandra, all of you guys.
Now is it bad that I expect Le Thuza to come out of nowhere and say “Sandy South, you have failed this city!”
@ QI:
It’s been a long time since I ate cold cereal (or cereal at all) for breakfast, but I would certainly not eat any cereal that was wet IN THE BOX…
I’m fairly certain that a lot of foods these days have perservatives in them… If they changed the formula to the point where the food got wet or possibly spoiled… Yuck.
I wonder if Cloud or Larisa will assist Sandy in her quest for justice.
Raisins are nice in brand and stuff likr that, but not for non health food cerial. They are just the worst, like a marmite and penut butter sandwich. Disgusting.
I am surprised that the trenchcoat and hat still fit her after the time skip, but good to see sandy south back again.
She’s going to be raisin some hell. (Yes, I am proud of that)
I am surprised that Woo is covering his eyes after seeing what he did for Thanksgiving lol. Still, I guess his mate is a bit more irresistable than Sandra
I find it cute and respectable that Woo covers his eyes while Sandra is changing.
*ahem*
The Sandy and the Qoo.
Yes Sandy and the Qoo.
Where crime is afoot
and no one’s got a clue.
They’ll fight with all their might
to set things back to right.
For Justice
The Sandy and the Qoo, Qoo, Qoo, Qoo…
(sung to the tone of “The Pinky and the Brain”)
You know, I’m really not liking this whole raisin-hate storyline. Too much raicinism.
Woo wouldn’t have covered his eyes in earlier stories, but he’s been living with Sandra long enough that she’s had plenty of time to make it known to him that she would prefer he did. And even though he wouldn’t see why it was such a big deal, he would have no reason specifically not to.
And now they get to track down a cereal killer. Good luck and start with the company CEO.
Toucan son of Sam is probably the culprit. “Silly rabbit, tricks are for kids. Splortch!”
Found the culprit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1n-9uq_lyRQ

…Who puts their coat on BEFORE the clothing underneath?!
I find it moderately amusing that the racoon bothers to cover his eyes, when the human is changing, even though he runs around naked all the time himself.
@ artemi:
I think she just changed her pants.
It’s been so long since I’ve seen Sandy South and Qoo, that I forgot that was the name they gave Sandy South’s partner.
I honestly thought it was a typo: Q and W are pretty close on a QWerty keyboard.
@ Edda:
If someone took your cookie would you be mad that they took your cookie or mad because they ate it? The point is no cookie = problem. Once a upon a space” “
@ artemi:
people with clothe changing powers (movie characters) or gifted clothing skills (movie actors) maybe the, every room your wearing something different, (Lady Gaga) but thats to normal for her. well I had fun with this. Q?358

Those that have the change the pants in front of others. It like putting your swimming shorts on while haveing the towel warped around your waist.

I think it’s because it rhymes with “Clue”? Maybe?

“This city is doomed.”
sounds like my responce to any game which has “the fate of …… is in your hands”

@ shazz_smifff:
it helps if i slow down and read what i’ve typed before i send
game which has “the fate of …… is in your hands” in the intro
I wonder what motive she’ll uncover for this crime though, because
…I see no raisin why.
I’ll go stab myself with a spork now.

They’re right next to each other on AZERTY, too. Just aligned in the other direction (vertical instead of horizontal).
I’m amused that Woo has enough of a concept of modesty to cover his eyes…
@ PlutoniumBoss:
Yours is a good explanation on why Woo covers his eyes, it couldn’t be otherwise as Sandra has no appeal whatsoever to his eyes: almost no fur, no rings or mask..
Sandra and Woo remind me of another classic comic duo, Calvin and Hobbes. It makes you wonder if there is any new creativity out there or if the same ideas are just being recycled into new forms. I guess the theme of a furry friend accompanying an adolescent into adulthood is something that most find sweet and appealing.
