[1114] Overshot

On the following page you can find all the info about this year’s Sandra and Woo + Gaia artwork contest which comes with $5000 prize money!
- Richard: You must be crazy if you think I’m gonna give you $1300 for a painting!
- Sandra: At least take a look at it, daddy!
- Richard: Okay, I have to admit, it’s good…… … very good.
- Richard: All right, I’ll give you the money.
- Sandra and Woo: Woo!
- Richard: But we’ll hang it in my bedroom!
- Sandra: What?!
To be fair Sandra, since he’s the one paying for it, it’s well within his rights to do that.
Also… First.
A cunning move, but strategically unsound. I feel like if you’re gonna spend 4 digits on a work of art, it should go in the living room where everybody, including guests, can see it.
I hate it when there’s a catch.
Richard has free time awake to admire paintings in his bedroom?? Must’ve gotten the mystical “no-extra-workload promotion”.
@ Syaoran: Sounds reasonable. When she’s paid him back, possibly including interest, THEN she can have it.
There is always a punishable catch when asking your parents to buy something.
I guess the North household has something close to the typical rules the ban kids from the master bedroom except under narrow circumstances
@ Jack:
I mean, I just got the “No extra money” promotion, so someone deserves to get the opposite.
If you pay it with your own money then you ca have it
sorry sandra but you have to pay the toll
Somehow I think it is the Larissa’s paint despised by LupoTwo.
@ Eric:
Getting something like that for myself, it’s for me not anyone else, so it’ll do just fine in my room. Costing about the same as Sandra’s picture, but to my specs according to the artist’s ability.
Did you not see the expression on his face in the last panel? That painting has some … virtue … that young, innocent Sandra has overlooked. One appropriate to adult male sensibilities.
‘Jugada maestra’
Surely Richard will wonder why it seems that Woo understands what he is saying…?
R.I.P Little wallet, may you fill with bills again one day.
I love this comic, I’ve been following for several years, but this is ridiculous and makes no sense. Even by S&W standards. Wtf is going on with this painting nonsense?
Why not the living room?
The painting is the winner of the art contest.
