Nice Segue!
So she is aware that she is searching for herself… But question remains, is she searching for her true self?
Don’t be such a bore, Sandra! Tell Isabella about how you imagined that, what is most likely her coworkers and family members, are selling girls into sex slavery.
The plot twist is that Isabella is about to get murdered by Eldor.
She’s crying while cutting cheese instead of onions. I got nuthin’.
@ Mogster:
I recently had garlic cheese, so onion cheese isn’t far off. Or, it could be extra stinky cheese.
At least we’ve confirmed that Sandra is sane enough to realize that she’s just role-playing. This is more 12 year old, somewhat reassuring.
She may have just chopped the onions, and be moving onto the cheese. Though, frankly, when I chop onions, the tears may pour down but I don’t ever sob. Actual sobbing is virtually always an emotional matter.
Are we supposed to know who Isbella is?
*Waht does Qoo know?
@ Crystalgate:
Crazy fans and their unsettling and disturbing comments; I couldn’t even comment it was so bad.

The cutting of the cheese is obviously symbolic of the yet greater slice that the government demands this tax season. I suspect her parents are going into bankruptcy.
@ Crestlinger:
Qoo knows, as Woo knows, that raccoons are not allowed in pizza restaurants. Also knows how to talk raccoon and English. 😛
Who is Isebella!?
@ Hugh Mann:
lol.
I dunno if Eldor would bother with small fry like her though. Although, maybe those guardsmen-and-in-keeper-killing terrorists might. They’re infamous for sneaking into basements and murdering everyone down there in gruesome ways!
@ TvTropesgotmehooked:
1) What the heck are you talking about?
2) You totally did just comment it.
@ Crystalgate:
The last strip, the one before this one, got weird and political.
I wasn’t referring to anything you said, I just accidentally my sentence. Sorry.
So Isabella is a new character; possibly having a problem at their school?
So now that we know that Sandra knows that she’s looking for herself, we can conclude that she has actually run away from home to find herself. Unless Richard was in on it and was just performing his part for everyone on the other side of the fourth wall.
Who’s Isabella Casale?
“I’m trying to find myself. Now that I say it out loud it sounds kind of silly.”
While I love most of Novrils stuff (and while Powrees art can be incredible, just take Qoo in the first panel, I’m surprised no one mentioned it), I get quite annoyed with the constant name dropping and the clunky introduction of new characters and lore.
It’s even worse in Gaia, but more than once I’ve found myself lokking through the archives to find a name that just turns up unexplained, like Tony’s Piza or Isabella, and it feels like some of the most annoying form of exposition. Even more so in Gaia, where the characters just talk about the capture of a dangerous redmage we have never ever heard of and who is shortly explained in a footnote. That’s hardly engaging!
“I have gone to find myself. If I should show up before I return, please keep me here until I get back.”
“Ew, who cut the cheese in here?”
Wait, have we seen this girl before? She’s not in any tags.
Isabella cut the cheese so bad, it reduced her to tears.
@ Crystalgate You’re thinking of Larissa.
well i guess, quite literally, the game is up
@ Robert:
I clicked on the tag, and this is her first and so-far only appearance. So no, I don’t think so.

Check out what Sandra said the previous strip. Granted, she only said “slave”, but I don’t see what what other kind of slave she would mean.
@ mhw:
Sometimes a name turns up unexplained because it hardly fits into the story where each character has to be explained as though they had never heard of him. Granted some backstory is nice but sometimes you’ve just gotta throw in a character and explain him later. Also Tony’s Pizza is a reference to a conspiracy theory which involves politicians, leaked emails, ‘encoded’ food related words, pizza’s and a child sex slave ring. Totally crazy, people talked about it in the last strip.
@ Peter:
You could guard a mall with that seque.
Why is Isabella (whoever she is) wearing a dirndl in a pizza place? Anachronistic or what?

@ Trimutius:
“I am a shadow…The true self…”@ Trimutius:
Mmmmmm, Neapolitan pizza!
Poor Isabella, something is eating her so hard, so she’s having some quality time with the comfort food… Honestly, operative South could not have found a worse moment to storm in.

WELL, ANYONE CAN SEE I’M HERE RIGHT NOW! AM I HERE ANYWHERE ELSE??
Just reread that bit of Calvin and Hobbes last night. Good stuff.
@ Robert:
trying to figure that out myself. I saw nothing else tagged with that name and don’t remember Isabella. The way sandra said it though gives the impression Isabella is known though.
Remember on the flyer, Sandra was last seen at Tony’s, so maybe Sandy knows Isabella from eating at the pizza shop, probably a fellow classmate as well.
The question of whether Sandy South and Qoo (Woo) are in another dimension, in a parallel universe, is a Doppelgange or Sandra has double (triple) personality or she is only playing is still unanswered.
Yeah… try to talk yourself out of that one without not being labeled a total lunatic…
The journey to find oneself is surely a respectable one. Though, I’m not sure Sandra is doing it quite right.
@ mhw:
Um.
You *do* realize you can click on the name of the person in the tags and it will show you all of the comics that person is in, right? When you click on Isabella’s name, and only get today’s comic, Ta-Da! You know it’s a new character.
You wouldn’t be reading this comic if Novil didn’t know what he was doing writing it. If he is dropping a new character into the mix without warning there is probably a reason for it.
Well, she doesn’t appear to be slicing onions.
