@ CommonMarble:
Possibly, but I don’t think this is that kind of web-comic. Now ask yourself, do you really want it to be? Also, expert mode is something she can do in the regular comic, though possibly not strictly canon with the rest of the comic; that doesn’t mean she can do it in the game.
Hide yourself in cargo.
Let them get you out.
Get Cloud over there. He can kick their butts
Is this savage tribe by any chance one of those that women must go through their period in isolation? Ask for maxi pads and cramp relievers then let WOO chew an exit
Climb out of the panel and into the panel where you already escaped. Easy peasy.
Cargo cults await goods brought from America by John Frum, Tell them, he’s sent you ahead to take orders. Get a list and leave.
Easy, an Adeptus Astartes drop pod crashes through the roof and causes havoc. Alternatively, Sandra just needs to scream of the the top of her lungs, that there are trillions of barrels of untapped oil beneath the island and the USA will be coming to “liberate” it.
Ask one guard, “If I was to ask the other guard which door leads to certain death, what would he say?” Go out that door.

I know a recipe for raccoon stew. Could that be useful? You’d also need onions, tomatoes, some salt and pepper and carrots. Potatoes and turnips are also great to add. You already have the raccoon so just a few more ingredients and we can start cooking…
If the natives like it, they might let you go to get more raccoons for them… 😀

Let the facts do the work. Clearly they can’t be both a cargo cult and receive actual outside products (like modern cellphones). Hopefully they dissolve into puffs of logic but if you just get confusion, that should be good enough, too. The story about this being North Sentinel Island and being uncontacted is equally vulnerable since NSI is neither uncontacted nor could it possibly house a cargo cult and a cargo cult (and presumably owners of Apple products) can’t be uncontacted. Also, a cargo cult can’t possibly know it’s a cargo cult since the term didn’t exist at the time cargo cults were contacted while it’s something of a requirement that they haven’t been contacted (much) since.
Finally, if none of the above either works in a puff-of-logic-sense or as a sufficient distraction for a leisurely stroll out of there, get them hooked on some distracting smartphone activity.
Fix the aeroplane behind that gateway so that it actually flies, and fly out of there, Colditz Castle / Flight of the Phoenix style.
@ Sinch:
Funnily enough, in one of the Trilby’s graphic adventures, DYING was the solution to one of the puzzles XD
Both yell “Go go gadget {random object}!” Gadget ‘Copter springs immediately to mind, but that might be too gruesome for this comic…

Well, at least we know what NOT to do…
Well, if your name was James Bond, you could use your magnet watch to draw your captured pistol to your hands and shoot the guards like in Goldeneye. Alas, you are not.
Distraction dance! or the teleporter, that one always works

Should do nicely. I mean they wanted Out. There was nothing said about not accumulating a body count in the process.
Tell the guards that the racoon wants to challenge the strongest of them to an arm wrestling contest.
Sneak out while they fight over who is strongest.
Make guards realize that they are only drawings without even name, making them pooof out of existence.
Or use three headed monkey for distraction
Sandra’s a little young for seduction (except for Cloud) so I really like the ‘climb out of the fourth wall and go home’ ploy.
You can curl your hands around the edges of the panel, climb all the way out.
I guess that whatever plan is used, it will start with “Hey Siri!”
Ah Yes, this is finally where my henry stickmin knowledge will pay of.
it can of cause only be one of these for:
– use Teleporter
– Dance off
– Distraction
– Charles!
“Enterprise! Two to beam up!”
“Hey, Mister Guard! Can you tell me which model of iPhone is the very best one?”
The tribesmen will argue and then kill one another.
Easy: escape the strip.
You are already holding the edge of the vignette,
leaping out can’t be so difficult.
Ofcourse switch to your other character, karissa, who can lure all the guards away with her. Making an easy escape possible
Active “Expert Mode” on your raccoon.
Pull a “Rabbit season/duck season” to trick them into freeing you.
Remember, this is a (classic) adventure game, your pockets are much bigger than they seem, you can fit anything inside, so there is a high chance you’ve already grabbed macguffin between panels. In certain situations (aka some games), even remembering an object counts as having it.
Ask politely.
@ Netherdan:
No, You don’t get it her step mother is Japanese she needs to draw on the power of Anime Troups to summon the unexpected hero or distraction in this case – Cloud. This will be so interesting if this happens some how.
Reach a little higher and a little farther around, grab that guard’s spear from the previous panel and use it to free yourselves.
Order one of each kind of pizza, and watch them argue about who got how many slices of which kind and whether pineapple is an abomination. While they’re busy, offer to introduce the pizza delivery driver to Larissa.
Reach out of the top of the frame, grab the RSS Feed and hand that to one of the guards. That’ll keep them busy for weeks!
Try to contact Yay from QC.
Play the Imperial March and hope Darth Cendiary (Goth Larissa) shows up.
Jump! Maybe you’ll fall into the pub where Flaky Pastry’s heavily armed trans-dimensional diplomats (including a dragon) just arrived. The spears and guns and dragon aren’t the real issue there. They have a Zintiel. The tribe would do well to NOT pursue.
Get possed by Betelgeuse, start singing ‘Day O’ Harry Belafonte way, once all natives are possessed, run away.
Woo pulls off his hat perry the platypus style. Now they just have a normal raccoon tied up? They better let the poor fella go and find where woo went!
Well, alternatively to my suggestion with the rubber monkey and the guacamole bowl, it *might* work naratively if she does the following:
(1) Sandra gets fed up with the situation
(2) She blames the higher powers/Novil for putting her in this situation
(3) She says, “I’m going home!”/”I quit!”, steps out of the panel and into another panel with her home.
That could work as a meta joke. But since I don’t know where Novil wants to go with side sidestory, I believe a more ‘common’ Sierra Adventure like approach would be better.
Assuming that expert mode for Qoo is not an option:
1. Qoo Bites through his and Sandy’s ropes.
2. Combine the rubber monkey and the bowl to make a sling shot.
3. Use the sling shot to shoot the wax at the guards to stick them in place. Make sure you hit them in the mouth with the wax first so they can’t scream.
Beat your chest and yodel like Tarzan! Tantor Ungawa!
OK! OK! Like Rema the Jungle Girl. Sheesh.
Come on Sandy, you’ve already broken the forth wall, just jump through the hole and run away into 3D land. It’s a nice place, I promise.
Jump out of the frame. youre already sticking your fingers out.
If you can reach the frame of the panel, you can pass through it.
Jump through that window into our world.
Well, I’d have made a call, before i gave my phone to the tribe of heathens (Apple users, bleagh!) to my good friend and journalist attache, Larisa, who just so happens to have a flare for fire.

Get Sandra to wear the least appropriate thing that the local women wear, have Woo send a photo to Cloud with the location attached, then sit back and let Cloud’s hormonal madness plow through literally everything between home and Sandra to see it in person.
Seems a bit Larissa-ish, but everyone else is suggesting the Konami Code.
There is only one way out of this situation.
Fanservice.
Surrender to the cult. Work your way up in the ranks. Sold them all out when CIA comes
