- Lloyd Parker: What’s up?
- Qoo: Follow the silver Ford!
- Lloyd Parker: Why?
- Qoo: An axe-wielding maniac kidnapped a man and a girl and is planning to sacrifice them to Huitzilopochtli, the Aztec god of war!
- Lloyd Parker: Then jump in!
- Lloyd Parker: My psychiatrist always said that I needed to learn to differentiate between video games and real life.
- Lloyd Parker: What do you say now, Mrs. Harper, what do you say now!?!

Mrs. Harper does not approve.
A talking raccoon asking for help against an Aztec sacrifice.
GTA is borderline more believable. As is Mario Kart 😀 😀
What’s hard to believe is that someone stopped.
Just Woo’s luck somebody crazy was on the streets.
Also: what’s wrong with the people who issue driver’s licenses, letting somebody crazy on the streets?
This strip is hilarious!
A crazy person leaves, another one enters… It’s the cycle of life
Lloyd Parker: Speaking of which, are you Sly Cooper from the game series?
Woo: …Do I look like him?
Lloyd Parker: …No.
Woo: Then no.
Lloyd Parker: Aw! But you could cosplay him, right? I think one of my Facebook friends has a replica of his crook-hook tool…
>:=)>
Is this the first person Woo’s ever spoken to other than Sandra?

No, that was the hunter in the “field trip” story arc.
Wow,a talking raccoon asked someone to chase a deranged kidnapper,and he’s not even care about it?
Well,it’s time for impatiently wait for another strip >_<
Where is that raccoon goddess when he need her.
So, today a talking raccoon in a tie asked me to help chase down a maniac kidnapper, pretty standard day so far.

I would have the the first person would be her owner before Sandra…
Nice hat, Largo. Was it “Made in Japan?” *Flees the MegaTokyo fans!*
@ roguebfl:
Actually, he said in the first comics he didn’t even talked to his previous owners
Ah, the fedora. The sign of a true gentleman, always vigilant to save m’ladies.
When you say Mrs. Harper you are refering to the psychiatrist and not the wife of the former Prime Minister of Canada, correct?
You know, if a talking raccoon were to tell me about an axe-wielding maniac, I might believe him. Especially if he didn’t mention the Sig.
Wow, Crazy Taxi is a lot more serious than I remember.
Psychiatrists are generally referred to as doctor, not mister/miss/missus.
Also, he clearly has a solid grip on reality. It’s not at all uncommon for small animals to ask you for requests. I gave a squirrel a ride home yesterday.
Love the nonchalant “what’s up?”. I can only hope I am that smooth if something half this bizarre ever happens in my life.
@ Mauron:
Not so hard to believe. The squirrel could’ve been on the roof of the car and you didn’t see it.

Ummmm….
Dr Harper…
Psychiatrists have an M.D.
@ Mauron:
@ Laconic:
The guy is a potentially crazy, fedora-wearing video gamer. Does the stereotype one might associate with that description seem like the sort to care about this woman’s educational distinctions? (#notallgamers #notallfedoras)
That moment when the crazy axe wielding psychopath is more sane than the person whose helping you catch him.
Of note; Woo is referred to as “Woo” in the transcript, as opposed to his alter ego “Qoo”. 0734 has Sandra as “Sandy South”, and 0732 was the last time Woo made any noise, and the transcript had him as “Qoo”.
In short, this just got real, because Woo is “Woo” now and not his detective alter ego “Qoo”.
To be fair, it IS a talking raccoon. I’d think it was a psychotic hallucination, too.

I realy enjoyed the “follow that car” line. No detective story should be without It!
I was gonna question why someone wasn’t questioning why someone wouldn’t question why a raccoon was talking,
But now I’m questioning why that guy is driving.
Enter Graham Chapman:
That’s it, I’m cancelling this sketch, as this has gone far too silly.
Um, am I the only one concerned that this crazy guy might actually want help with the sacrifice, rather than try to stop it? Just saying – given that he didn’t exactly say who’s side he’s taking….
LMAO He’s got a point there!
I’m beginning to suspect that at some point Sandra ate the cereal, and this whole sequence is just a cereal induced hallucination…
Ladies and gentlement, the moment you’ve been waiting for!
Life is just a NES game, with 1 life, a countdown timer, and no retries or save codes. So get good and don’t die scrubs.

Well the problem is that not having a licence does not prevent you from operating car… they run on petrol/Gasoline… not on licences…
Seems Woo is a real life taling raccoon.
Either that, or it takes a .. particular mindset to understand him.
“Holy crap! That raccoon is talking!”

You didn’t read http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2008/11/17/negotiating-methods/, did you?
I feel sorry for this guy, he’ll probably end up in a hospital or something.
@ coyoteBR:
GTA? no this is more saint’s row
is, “follow the silver ford!” a reference to, “Follow the white van?”

I like this use here very much, because it fits the “cliche mystery story” theme of the “Under A Killer Balloon: ..:” arcs perfectly.
@ everyone commenting about how he could be issued a driver license:
Welcome to the USA, where the “privilege” to drive has become a “right” (not to mention that without probable cause or witnessing of a crime, you can’t just simply be stopped to check to make sure you have a license).
The driver doesn’t find it so far-fetched that a talking raccoon asked him for help. His shrink, Mrs. Harper, is another talking raccoon.
……..What?XD
You know, I think I like this Lloyd guy….I love the way he deals with the unexpected and the bizarre.
This page made me laugh out loud!
