You should not miss to watch the following seven amazing animated shorts by the artist Cerberus (Tirrel). Four of them even features raccoons. With a left click, the SWF flash files open in a new browser tab. With a right click, you can download the SWF files.

“Deep in the jungles of… Hyde Park London, the squirrels discover the sinister truth behind their poor harvest. Vyle Bakeries Ltd have devised a cost-cutting scheme to obtain ingredients for their Cookie range and are stealing nuts right from the rodent’s own stash piles. Faced with the prospect of either starving or having to pay extortionate prices for Starbucks cookies, the squirrels join forces and tackle the problem at the source… in an inexplicable and highly implausible way.”	Rescuing Ghosts is without a doubt one of the most beautiful shorts I’ve ever seen. The evocation is accompanied by the song “Talking with Ghosts” by Fox Amoore.
“This is the story of Katan, a little aztec critter who works as a stonemason on huge pyramid projects. He’s an eager, talented employee who beleives strongly in what the project stands for, putting in endless overtime to get things done. When a less committed, self-serving employee hatches a plan to steal the soul jewel of the temple, the mysterious crystal skull, Katan finds himself under blame and attack from the very monument he helped to create.” Katan won the award “Best movie of 2010″ on Newgrounds!	Raccoons doing what they do best ;-).
The first music video of the rock band Rockoons, featuring the song “Fever” by Aerosmith.	The second music video of the rock band Rockoons, featuring the song “Separate Ways” by Journey. There are a couple of really cool scenes you just have to see several times.
The third music video of the rock band Rockoons, featuring the song “Let Your Love Flow” by The Bellamy Brothers. The Looney Tunes would be proud of the amount of cartoon violence.

Sandra and Woo will take a break in August 2013 after publishing strip #500 at the end of July. But there will be lots of other updates to shorten the waiting time for next strip.

Ozy and Millie by D.C. Simpson, a comic strip featuring the serene young fox Ozy and his hyperactive best friend Millie, drew me into the world of webcomics in 2005. Simpson’s much anticipated graphic novel Rain Dog became the biggest letdown in the history of webcomics, though. It received several extremely negative reviews and got even mocked by the former fans of Ozy and Millie.

But now Simpson is back with the all-ages comic strip Heavenly Nostrils (start reading here). The first strip was published on 22 April 2012 and since the comic updates seven times a week, there are now already over 300 strips. The two main characters are the the chaotic nine-year-old girl Phoebe and her best friend, the unicorn Marigold Heavenly Nostrils who is regularly stunned by her own beauty and awesomeness. I think it’s easiest to describe Heavenly Nostrils as “Calvin and Hobbes for girls”, but I mean that in a good way. I think the strongest point of the comic is Phoebe who is immediately likeable. Her character design was clearly inspired by Millie, so all Ozy and Millie fans should get their money’s time’s worth. I’m also very fond of the black-and-white artwork, especially the funny facial expressions.

UPDATE [31 March 2013]: The contest is over. Voting is no longer possible.

Sandra and Woo defeated Ava’s Demon and is now in the final round of the

2013 Webcomic Tournament at ComicMix!

After beating Buttersafe, Axe Cop, Paranatural, Commander Kitty (one of my personal favorites), XKCD (!) and Ava’s Demon, our opponent in the last round is Bittersweet Candy Bowl. I want to thank everybody for the amazing support that our comic has received so far. While many feel that the rules of the tournament have to change next year (me too), it would be a great honor for us to win this year.

Powree will start to work on the wallpaper featuring private eye Sandy South and her partner Qoo as soon as she finds some time, regardless if we win the contest or not.

Sandra and Woo has defeated XKCD and is now a semifinalist in the 2013 Webcomics Tournament at ComicMix! We even received the most votes of all 8 comics in the quarter-final, so there’s a good chance to also beat our next opponent, Ava’s Demon.

I would be really happy if Sandra and Woo won the contest, at least it would give our comic some additional exposure. I doubt we’ll get this far next year, so it would be great if you could support us with as many votes as possible in the last rounds of the tournament! As a little thank-you, we will also publish a new wallpaper featuring private eye Sandy South and her partner Qoo if Sandra and Woo comes off as the winner this year.
