![[0109] Child Labor](/comics/2009-11-05-[0109]-child-labor.png "[0109] Child Labor")
Geez, just a few weeks after a comic about animal abuse now one about child labor. I wonder if Sandra and Woo is in danger of becoming wayyy too serious ;).
- Sandra: …
- Sandra: Damn! It’s that late already?!
- Sandra: I have to do something funny! Quick!
- Sandra: AAAAAA!!
- Sandra: I hate this job.

Who wouldn’t hate that job?
I wouldn’t. XD
Ha ha ha! Don’t hate the job Sandra, you have no idea how funny it is to see people humiliated. You can go to bed now. (Get Woo back in the next strip!)
[imitates loudspeaker static] Miss North, please come to the board room. Mr. Knörzer needs to speak to you
I think you have to worry more about it knocking over the 4th wall, heheh. =)
That what you get for the vet! That wasn’t water either. *evil laugh* It’s lemonade.
“Comedy. Now, that’s hard.” – Famous quote from somewhere; recycled a dozen times over.
That’s right Sandra. Hate the game not the players.
I have a feeling that this is part Sandra, part Oliver in this one.
I checked in just a bit ago, and the strip wasn’t up. (It goes up about 8 pm where I am) Was this a “Oh we forgot to do a strip” strip?
Funny though. I love this comic.
@ Mort. There is no more 4th wall anymore.
“Dying’s easy – comedy’s hard.”
At the end of the movie “Looney Tunes – Back in Action”, Wile E. Coyote finds himself driving a train in a tunnel that has just scooped up about two tons of dynamite with lit fuzes from the tracks.
He looks out at us, and holds up a sign that says “They don’t pay me enough.”
That’s the thing about being a cartoon character. If you’re not funny enough on your own, your universe conspires to MAKE things funny (whether you like it or not)
Being a child isn’t easy it seems.
After you’ve finnished your homework you still have to do something funny to fill your role.
No matter what it takes ^^”’
But in this case it wasn’t on purpose…
( Who/Woo pranked her? I’m a bit confused. )
But seriously, when I had finnished my homework it was almost evening too T_T
Thank god there were Weekends! Fridays FTW!
A question occurs to me: Who placed the bucket?
Do you have to ask Bartimaeus?
Hahaha, buckets of laughter. 😀 This strip made me laugh twice, I remember homework in high school would keep me up that late and I’d be like “oh damn!” cause I had to be up at 5AM for the bus. Ah memories. 🙂
Hey, Sandra, at least you’re a comic character and not a TV character. They have to be funny repeatedly for the better part of a half-hour. You just have to be funny once for a few seconds.
Please don’t let the children swear. At that age most children don’t use much bad language. It is unbecoming of Sandra.
Thanks
When you’re doing something good,people will have high hopes for you whether you like it or not.I think this is a resounding example of that.
@ AFDad: I don’t believe “damn” qualifies as a swear word anymore. Unless the child’s family is very Christian, which isn’t the case with Sandra.
Plus I think she’s saying worse things in Failures of Man Kind. But we can’t be sure, that’s part of how artists work around censorship.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! … ahem… HAHAHAHA!!
Another victim of the Moms in Black. 😀
haha sandra got all wet.
AFDad, the fact that second graders can appropriately point and say “OMG! You said the ‘F’ word!” means they know a lot more bad language than they let on. The very fact this phrase exists shows that children are quite foul mouthed in private. And what moment can be more private than when you’re in your room, all by yourself?
Even now I feel sorry for Sandra. Not because of the bucket but because it looks like she is writing an essay or something (I know the pain too! So… Essay… Arrgh!). Though I might feel sorry for her if that really did contain lemon aid.
And… How old would Sandra be? If its 8 (and sometimes younger) or older (I’m thinking older…) you can bet that she would know (and use) words far far far worse than “Damn.” How do I know? Younger siblings. And that’s a harrowing enough experience without the swearing.
When you’re breaking the fourth wall, are you really alone?
Hey folks, no disrespect intended. Sandra and Woo has all the qualifications that a comic strip needs to be picked up by a syndicate for distribution in newspapers. My comments were purely for the writer. (whose work I admire.) If possible, I’d like to encourage the team who does this comic get rich and famous. with their art. That is what it is all about after all. Who knows, maybe Powree and Oliver could be the next Chic Young, Charles Schultz, V.T.Hamlin, Hank Ketchum, or Harold Gray.
Love to Powree and Oliver, and to you all.
@ AFDad: We’re not offended, just incredibly amused =D
I love the fact that the bucket is entirely on her head.

HAHAHAHAAH HAHAHAHAHAA AHAHAHHAONQQRORDQRNFOBVW… Im sorry I drowned in my own laughter. Newspaper? really?
Are you the dad of Scotts Kurtz of PvP? “when you hit the newspaper then your fix for your life!”
O please, The newspapers are the heaven (or Hell) of good ideas, they all go to die there.
As far as I’ve seen, when a comic that deserves to be in the paper (and I have to admit I’ve thought Sandra and Woo does) actually ends up in the paper, it doesn’t tend to stay there very long. I guess it’s for the best; the Internet is a different medium with different “rules”.
Don’t know what Powree and Novil think, though.
AFDad – Your sentiments are appreciated, I’m sure, but the syndicates aren’t really the goal for most comic artists anymore for a number of reasons. The first reason is the syndicates themselves. Syndicates manage dozens of comics each and they all get many submissions by many cartoonists on a very regular basis. They generally don’t lose comics very often, and when they do, they have many artists scrabbling over each other to fill that void.
In addition, Newspapers are floundering to find a place in the digital world, grappling with an aging readership that is not replacing itself with younger readers, and competition from news websites that have lower overhead and faster news cycles. Even before the advent of web news, comics were suffering, what with pressure on Comic Page Editiors to fit comics into an increasingly tight space to in order to provide more content without sacrificing ad space.
These days, the most successful comics are operated independantly of the syndicates and published on the internet. While far from a utopia that embraces all artists and gives them the means to pursue their vision, the internet still is turning out to be the best option for many people who want to create comics, as online they’re free of the content and size restrictions or the deadlines that newspaper comics are forced to adhere to. And since there is little or no barrier to entry on the web, even if it doesn’t work out there’s still nothing to keep you from getting a fair chance at finding your goal.
@AFDad – ahahahahahahaha*hack*hahahahaha*cough*hahahaaaa…sorry but really im 15 i dont swear .. much .. but iv seen a kid in kindergarten tell me 2 shuve it f off and kiss his azz *trying best 2 censwer this…”and then he tryed 2 kick me in my nuts”he failed :P* then he said f u*this kid needs 2 stop repeating…* then walked off swearing his head off and yet i did nothing but walk bye*this was back when i was in GRADE 5 YES GRADE 5!* and i have met more kids under the age of 7 swearing there heads off since i was 5 years old no being is safe from swearing this sadly is the 20th century this kind of thing sadly happens 2 much…i my self wish i lived some time in the 1800s maby mid 2 late nice people no swearing no bad gas’s killing us slowly..and yet the only thing i would miss is my gameboy my 2 best friends and my cat”and i would get a new cat back then…” so ya…my point? the world is changeing…fast since the 60s my friend lol…imo adults need to relise this and admit thay no one or even 1000 people can easly change the world it is how it is and its not going to change 1 of 2 things will happen in 100years or so..1 is people kill each other for fun and that stuff…or 2 the world is how it is now but with technoligy much MUCH more advanced.as a side note i relise i have bad spelling so dont qwote me on it

When I was about Sandra’s age, me and my friends would say a lot worse things than “damn”.
I just read a review for the up-and-coming “Fantastic Mr. Fox” movie. Seems that it’s heavy on swear words. (For some odd reason.) Instead of being colorful, every swear word is forewarned as being “cuss”.
The review tells that the movie drives this one second joke into the ground and into the center of the Earth. (Good grief!)
So…I say, let the damn F’n language fly free!
The last panel should have been smashing through a wall labled “The Fourth Wall
No glue can mend the fourth wall.
In Soviet Russia, fourth wall breaks YOU…
But in Modern Germany, it isn’t even needed! Great work!
Please, what is this fourth wall of which you speak?
“Breaking the fourth wall” means that the writer includes a reference to a place outside of the world as it would logically exist within the comic. For instance making a character speak/address to the reader directly, or in this particular case having Sandra realize that she is a webcomic character.
Ha! Fantastic usage of metahumor here, I’m loving this comic.
@ Woo:
Sweet lemonade, mm sweet lemonade…
Sweet lemonade, yeah, sweet lemonade!
The best kind of comedy there is!
The oldest meta-joke in the book… the old “quick, make a punchline” routine.

Hello. I see that you don’t update your blog too often. I know that writing
articles is boring and time consuming. But did you know that there is a tool that
allows you to create new articles using
existing content (from article directories or other blogs from your niche)?
And it does it very well. The new articles are unique
and pass the copyscape test. You should try miftolo’s tools
