When you take things to extremes… LOL…
A co-worker of mine was just talking about this the other day. Why make them so thin? What’s the benefit of that? Does somebody just feel like phones are “too thick” for some reason?
@ Xezlec:
I agree, I actually find it easier to hold on to a thicker phone, and with the glass screens of smartphones, holding on to them is a mus
That took courage.
Remember that time when people joked that Apple was unveiling the thinnest CEO in the industry?
What ever happened to the colorist?
6.8mm? That’s still pretty thick:

I always knew he was shallow… *Dodges rotten fruit and flames* Olé!
@ Francisco:
THICC
No doubt with some of the scummy stuff Jobs is known for, he belongs in Hell.
Talk bad about a dead guy is never good on the karma list!
@ RJCSE:
We owe respect to the living, and truth to the dead.
I laughed way too hard at this!
sandra and woo is starting to make a comeback
An excellent way to (ab)use the comic format.
Meanwhile…

Well, they’re lighter and don’t bulge in your pocket as much, but honestly it’s really just another thing that they can advertise which doesn’t actually improve functionality over its competitors.
Personally, I think that joke fell a little flat

I still prefer a good old flip-phone. Far less chance of butt-dialing, and best of all it’s cheap. The phone was less than $50 and my monthly bill is around $20.
@ Salisria:
I feel there’s a chance you may have replied to the wrong comment
Anyone else notice the irony of yelling “blasphemy” to the Devil?

Here you go. http://www.hueville.net/post/108860640658/why-did-you-quit-coloring-sandra-and-woo
I know there is a post somewhere here that Lisa left on a positive note, because I wondered the same thing when I first found SandW and the colors stopped; can’t find the post now but it exists.
I personally think Sandra And Woo looks better without color.
Leave the color to the awesome fanart; WUB WUB WUB! 😉

Man, Satan is one handsome devil :I
At the very least Larisa can feel better knowing there is no way she could have accidentally killed him by doing that.
I wonder why everyone thinks Steve Jobs is hellbound. Normally I would associate Bill Gates with the devil instead. From what I know, he is a relatively good guy if a tad arrogant.
Nice cameo though. Just wish the story arc would speed up a bit.
@ Jesse:
Amen
I was wondering why Apple was going after phones thinner than the 5 is. It was optimal. Do they see an increased interest in focus groups jf the phone is thinner and more crackly? Why not just make it like a scroll?
@ Andy Wong: Bill Gates? The guy who has donated billions to different causes and will from what I’ve heard donate most of his enormous wealth to charities upon his death, who is currently spending his life raising awareness about different issues while still recognizing that the true heroes are the specialists actually going out to these places and doing all they can? Yea, very hellish.
Contrast that to Steve Jobs who never donated a penny because he didn’t believe in charity, who by all accounts was a jerk to basically everyone, random people he met, maids, workers, cofounders, his kids, etc. Steve Jobs was an amazing designer and business man and I’m sad at his death as Apple really hasn’t truly felt like Apple since and more like a company trying to masquerade as Apple. However, I would be much happier if there comes a person who can do the job somewhat as well as Steve Jobs, but at least be a decent person. Was Steve Jobs a terrible person, I’m not going to pass that judgement, not am I going to judge whether he’ll go to hell or not, as I don’t know what he went through in life. That being said, he is not my role model.

Hoo boy. So much for superior intelligence.
For the Americans on here who don’t own an I-Soul/phone, that’s a little thicker than a quarter inch.
@ Trackman1997:
I still listen to the Bill Burr standup mention.
@ Daniel:
“Blasphemy” is in the eye of the beholder.

(it discounts the crack and marihuana sessions Steve enjoyed when young)
well this covers it really… the problem is the PR stuff Bill Gates never cared for. He did not have the insane notion that he is bringing a revolution of society.
He just sold the software which people bought either because it made their lives easier or more enjoyable. (sure people curse all the flaws it has all the time, but that is actually quite normal). He keeps doing that still.
@ TvTropesgotmehooked:
I strongly disagree. I would’ve preferred that all of the strips were colored.
@ Trackman1997:
Donate billions to charity.
Also responsible for thousands of deaths.
I wonder which one outweighs the other.
@ MarqFJA87:
I can’t imagine this arc in color: http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2013/04/08/0471-a-dark-and-stormy-night-i/
The contrast is amazing but in color it would have likely lost its impact on me.
Whoops! Steve hit the floor without an expensive thick case to protect him, now he’s broken.
Time to trade in for the brand new iSteve 7! 😛
Laughing My… LMFAO! 😀

And to think that I went to school with that guy. Steve, you never did like heavy people that much. ;D

Nah, just always up on the latest skinny.

BS! First of all I doubt it is Bill that is behind the donations of his ill-gotten gains. I would bet that it is his wife Melinda that is the philanthropist. There was never an ounce of Gates philanthropy until after he got married and had children. His entire history and business is based on theft and using other people’s work. Even his much touted Basic interpreter was based on the language designed by Kemeny and Kurtz at Dartmouth in 1964. (Writing an interpreter or compiler to a language spec is near trivial compared to designing the language itself. I’ve written a couple of them myself.)
• He stole MS-DOS from Seattle Computing.
• He stole Windows from GEM and put them out of business.
• He used his monopoly position in MS-DOS to strong arm computer manufacturers to not even think about offering competing software.
• He personified vaporware by telling manufacturers he had a working Windows two years before he had a prototype product.
• He “partnered” with small company after small company to learn their technology and then screwed them by implementing it in Microsoft’s products. “Partnering” with Microsoft was the kiss of death.
• His monopolistic putting Netscape out of business and subsequent stagnation of Internet Explorer is well known. Many of their lies were well documented in the court proceedings.
The list goes on and on.
So yes, very hellish! (But perhaps now with a guilty conscience!)
@ Andy Wong:
It’s not a mutually exclusive thing – the fact the one qualifies doesn’t say anything about the other.
