The current story arc started with this strip: Two Pieces of Cake.
It’s always a bit problematic when you have to draw things that are as tiny as a bug…
- Larisa: GROSS!! THE BAG IS FULL OF BUGS!
- Cloud: Yeah, full of bugs and dirt and… nothingness.
- Sandra: Well, looks like at least one of us found a treasure…

Aww, what a let down.
Like they say in Latin… “coon bono?” ; ) “Woo profits?” twice the ; ) Seems the answer is “yes”.
Great arc, you put together a nice tale pace, cliffhangers and comedy. Congratulations.
Some how I’m not surprised lol.
Sandra and woo rocks but I’m waiting for the real surprise ^^
Now who was it that called the bag of bugs on the last strip?
because they totally need a prize
wait, I GET IT NOW
the bugs ate all the jewelry
Is Woo gonna cough up a diamond ring or something?
Cause that would be really cliched.
I called something that would freak her out
And how can bugs eat jewelry? Money, sure. But jewelry?
Erebus says: And how can bugs eat jewelry? Money, sure. But jewelry?
The bugs did not eat the jewelry.
I know. I was responding to Mystery Penguins second posting thingy.
They could be rare species of bugs, but I guess if they’re eaten they are worth nothing…
Hmmm… in an earlier comic http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/03/16/0042-weird-animals/ Woo was grossed out when he saw a Raccoon about to eat a worm; has he changed his mind now? Well, even though nothing was in the bag, the question still remains, who put the bag in the vent in the first place? And what will Larisa do with the Holy Grail? Interesting that Larisa would be grossed out by bugs, but I think I would be too.

Woo was the one eating the worms.
Maybe the bugs were a eatin’ the treasure? (Which had miraculously changed from diamonds into COLD HARD CASH?)
Larisa’s thought, in panel two: “Bet this never happens to Indiana Jones…” ^^;
Excellent! Nice laugh and great tension breaker. 🙂
Bugs could’ve eaten any -paper- money, and turned it to dirt.
Has Cloud dug enough to be sure there’s nothing under the dirt?
Or; possibly jewels or other hard stuff, were hidden elsewhere.
If only Woo had some peanut butter to go with that feast, then he’d be in heaven.
Hmmm maybe there is something buried in the dirt?
Harharhar!! I knew something in this arc would benefit Woo!!
“It’s always a bit problematic when you have to draw things that are as tiny as a bug…”
It’s not easy to draw things the size of a giant either unless you have a godlike mouse steadiness.
The Traveling Bag Of Doom…
I can’t help it but make another D&D reference… XD
Traveling Bag Of Doom, cursed item:
This bag appears to be an ordinary traveling bag.
Detection for magical properties makes it seem as if it were a bag of holding.
The bag can hold up to 30 cubic feet of matter.
It acts as a bag of holding type I, but each hour it has a 5% cumulative chance of turning anything inside into bugs and dirt.
This is an instantaneous effect so dispel magic or similar spells can’t turn the bugs back into what ever was stored inside the Traveling Bag Of Doom.
Only a Wish- or Miracle-spell is able to restore the original items.
I feel we should start an angry mob to make sure they get the tresure they deserve.
I’ve got some pucthforks, who’s got the torches?
*mutters* Bugs. Why did it have to be bugs?
If this were a cartoon, we’d be hearing a Sad Trombone right about now

Novil, question!
If here were only bugs, a bit or dirt and nothingness in the bag, how come Larisa didn’t suspect it’s weight (or lack thereof)?
You ever lift a bag of dirt? It can put on weight pretty quickly.
Yes, I know, but the bad didn’t seem to be FILLED with dirt. Anyway, it’s just a thought that ocurred. 🙂
Ah, great, if the bugs ate the jewelry then there must be a GOLD BUG somewhere over there.
I just wonder if Cloud is ready to face his second MVP (anyone who had seen Larisa mad knows who was the first one). 😛
Now I’m imagining the Zelda chest-opening theme, for Woo.
Hee, hee, this is like the old ads Hostess used to put in comic books:
“Wow look it’s a bag of Hostess Twinkies! A golden treasure far beyond imagining!”
Except in this case, said twinkies may be a bit past expiration….
Although, for bugs to be living in a bag, there has to be something for them to live off of. Some sort of organic material. Do we want to know what that was?
At least Woo is enjoying this! =^^=
yeah but, 2 strips ago, larissa also found the holy grail remember? they still win!
Come to think of it, the banquet in IJATTOD included scarabs….
I said it’d be rats or something, so a winner for me too.
I can’t tell if Larisa was holding a chalice or her medical box in the last few comics, has she retrieved that yet? I either missed it, or it was off-panel while Sandra and Cloud were having their moment.
I dont know if I should be surprised that no one pointed it out, or just consider playing less nintendo DS, but when I read the title, the prof Layton theme poped up in my mind XD
I would actually buy a game like that… though I would buy any games starring Larisa =P
Why would someone fill a bag with dirt and bugs in the first place?
Tbolt says: Although, for bugs to be living in a bag, there has to be something for them to live off of. Some sort of organic material. Do we want to know what that was?
As seen before in the previous strips they can crawl in and out through a small hole. Since there’s dirt and soil in the bag, it’s a preferred resting place for the bugs compared to other places in the cellar.
well, it’s not a dead body. 🙁
I was wrong. 😀
…
No! I’ve been had!
haha, LOVE Larisa’s expression in the first panel!
I, like many others I’m sure, can’t wait until they really do find something 😉
Great comic!
You think they will find a bow or gust jar or sumn there?(More Zelda references!)
you know what they say about one person’s trash being another’s treasure.
and bugs are high in protein. bag of doom indeed…
Hello.As my mind:Larisa`s name must be Koroleva,because she is female.Korolev is a man`s. Sorry for bad english:)
“Well, looks like at least one of us found a treasure…”
But, THEY FOUND THE HOLY GRAIL, what did she means with no teasure? ¦T
Slimy yet satisfying.

Yeah, but keeping that tradition is just asking for trouble in the U.S. beaurocracy. The potential for clerical errors or whatever screwing you over is much higher when you have different family members having different names.
@ Random:
Another raccoon was grossed out by Woo, I am sure.
@ Devin de Gruyl:
Upvote that!
I’ve never really understood you humans’ desire for shiny metal over a nice meal myself, either.
