“Good news everyone, Sandra and Woo will update three times next week (Update: only next week, not every week! just to make that clear…), on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.”
Cloud is very popular in school; Benjamin (the big one) and Theo (the one with glasses) are his best friends besides Sandra and Larisa.
cell is short for cell phone.
I want to point out that all strips are written many weeks in advance. This means that no matter what you write in the comments it will most likely have no influence regarding the next dozen strips that will be published. (if it’s not a super-duper great idea)
I also want to point out that I have planned the character development of all main characters years ahead with more or less detailed concepts for all major storylines already existing. So writing a comment like “I think Sandra/Woo/Cloud/Larisa should be more/less like x.” is completely futile.
Also, no writer with an ounce of self-confidence listens to this sort of stuff. Just imagine the mess the last books of Harry Potter would have become if J.K. Rowling listened to all the suggestions of her million fans.
- Cloud: Guys, what d’ya think of Sandra?
- Benjamin: Dunno, she seems really nice… but also kinda nerdy.
- Theo: She’s not my type. But you’re a good match, I think.
- Benjamin: You think she is serious about you?
- Cloud: Let’s put it that way…
- Cloud: … when we’re together she always turns off her cell.
- Benjamin: whoa Whoa WHOA! When’s the wedding? What should I wear?

roflmao… *shakes head* man, that is something you never hear, ever…
speaking of which, she has a cell?
Already seen in use in the last panel of the strip Moms in Black.
The comments section has really been getting on your tits lately, hasn’t it?
Yes.
The perfect girlfriend.
I have faith in your abilities, oh great creator of Woo.
And turning off your cel even when being with a friend? That’s just weird.
Wow. I only do that sort of thing because I’m old.
Is it too late to change “Let’s put it that way” to “Let’s put it this way”?
Cloud’s friends are surprisingly mature about relationships.
And the last panel was freaking hilarious. Great job as always.
Indeed, WOW. Turning off your cell is maybe one step too far. But it’s a nice comic too read (as usual). Secondly: Yeah for 3 times update in a week.
Yeah, “this” is probably better. I changed it.
Completely realistic behavior of kids and juveniles in fiction would not be much fun for anyone.
I had a friend in high school. Whenever I went over to her house she would sit on her computer and IM people. How extraordinarily rude. Also cant stand people who play games on their phone in social situations.
I think your policy is for the best. You can’t please all the people all the time, and if you tried you’d end up pleasing nobody. The important thing is to please yourself.
Obviously your doing something right so far!
Sometimes reader comments can be very helpful, for example neither Powree nor me caught the problem that it was not obvious that Sandra was holding a coonskin cap in the last panel of the first (now replaced) version of the strip Sandra’s Dark Past.
But statements like “You should make Larisa less mean.” go in one ear and out the other.
…in panel 3 it looks like Ben’s stealing Cloud’s chip while he’s not looking, and then I can’t help but picture Theo stealing a chip from Ben, and then Cloud stealing one from Theo, and the pattern continuing ad nauseum…
All I can do is nod with understanding.
As you can see in the first panel Cloud’s chips are too far away for that. He’s just placing some of his chips as “stake” (sorry, can’t find the correct translation for this meaning of the German word “Einsatz”). But it’s a funny thought.
AWWW, these boys are so cute 😀
Not to be rude but I may be the only one who’s not so sure that triple post will be good… since next week I’ll be having alot of work in collage and I may end up stuck to the comp agan cuz of the updates, poor me. XD
That’s one thing why I wouldn’t be a good writer, I realy don like to plan past anything I’m working on right at the moment… but yeah that’s also being a collage student. X3
Love this strip and the guys are right in the end Sandra’s realy serious. Even my girl didn’ turn her phone off when we were together. XD
We trust your wisdom in writing so just keep up the good work. 😉
I comment too long right? XP
Wow, my girlfriend doesn’t even turn off her cell when she’s around me…
I was expecting the whole Raccoon Youtube incident to pop up, but I guess her excuse worked, and I did love the last panel.
I myself enjoy feedback, it’s good to know you have fans that like your work enough to take the time to comment and let their opinons known to you. But, yes, I know what you mean.
I love your characters, even these two who just appeared in the strip have a place in my heart already. 😀
Finally, awesome news, next week will be pretty fun, yay! 😀
WAITWAITWIATWHAT?!?!?!?!?
Ohmahgawd its christmas all over again.
Yay! More updates!
Also, it’s nice to see that Cloud is (apparently) figuring out this whole “girl” thing a little better.
DUN DUN DUNNNNN! Sorry, had to be DUNNNNN.
love the futurama reference in the news post 😛 and yay more updates
Very funny! And I really like that Sandra does that.
I like Theo’s comment in the 2nd panel and his expression in the last.
Benjamin’s appearance in the 2nd panel reminds me of Ron Stoppable. 🙂
Call me ignorant, but, what’s the significance of the cell phone turning off?
Whoa! I see those kids become serious… but just a little.
1. HOOrAY!! MOREZ TO THE UPDATEZ!!
2. Last panel = win.
Dusk-I guess it’s a signal that Cloud is getting her full and undivided attention.
Never was a fan of Parry Hotter,
(No offence. I just don’t like it when things are “hived”… Is there even a word in english for what I’m trying to say? o,ô’ )
but I get your point Novil.
You should do your comic with the amount of “influence” you want,
even when it’s zero.
It’s your comic after all.
I wish I could draw. I’d just make some guest/fan-comics *sigh* XD”’
People are strange… I’d always turn off my cell phone in such situations o_Ô
Is this really something special? Seriously, I’m confused! XD’
oops.. I messed this last thing up >,>’
I always go “d’aaaawwwwww” every time you mention the relationship of cloud and sandra ^^
they are so cute
someone explain wut turning off a cell phone has to do with it?
Isaac, It is because that girls always wear their cell phone at pretty much all time. They for some reason can also text while you are talking to them, and thus have another conversation entirely with a different person over the cell. Turning off the cell would signify that Sandra is devoted her full attention to Cloud.
That the best way for me to explain it.
I think the best translation for ‘einsatz’ might possibly be the term ‘the pot’ or ‘the kitty’. I know that’s what they’re called in my part of the English speaking world, but I’ve been wrong before.
Also, you’re most definitely right about knowing when to ignore your fans. Fandom, though a joy and a treasure, can be, as Galadriel put it: “Beautiful and terrible as the Dawn, treacherous as the Sea and strong as the foundations of the Earth!” In short, absolutely bloody psycho. A group calling themselves ‘The Harmonians’, a group of VERY psycho Harry/Hermione shippers, attempted to sue J.K. Rowling for not giving them the ending they wanted.
The fact I didn’t even know she had a phone kind of makes it look like over-reacting
more updates = more fun. and also more watching how well you draw. its really good
‘Stake’ is actually the correct word for this reference.
The ‘pot’ or ‘kitty’ is the name for all the collective stake/bet money, where as the ‘stake’ is the name for an individual deposit for the round.
Another word for ‘stake’ is ‘ante’ but those who are not overly familiar with playing cards in english won’t recongise this term.
@Mal:
The ante is not exactly synonymous to the stake. The ante is a forced bet intended to make players not fold before any bets have been placed, similar (but again, not identical) to the ‘blind’ in Texas Hold’em.
Stake, bet, those are what come to mind. But then again, I’m not a native English speaker, either. I, personally, would have used ‘bet’, in this context…
…er, there’s nothing to see here. Move along, please.
Out of curiosity, is there a bad boy in Larisa’s future? Or is it one of those things I’ll just have to wait and see for?
Bravo and bravo again for having the confidence to follow your vision! I for one look forward to reading the unfolding story of Sandra and Woo as you see it happening, and hereby and in perpetuity state that any comments I make about possible futures contain only mild speculation rather than any attempt to influence an outcome. 🙂
Yay for more weekly Sandra and Woo. Let’s hear it for the team!
Go Team! YAAAAYY TEAM! (How’s that? 🙂 )
Exactly like that.
I really can’t say more about that now.
“Out of curiosity, is there a bad boy in Larisa’s future? Or is it one of those things I’ll just have to wait and see for?”
Probably someone who is a complete opposite of her, she would get a big kick out of that.
Larisa is kinda evil and I love it!
This is gonna be fun. I wonder what’s next…
“dont please anybody, not even yourself, just do it well” I dont remember who said that to me.
So great strip.
what does mean “getting on your tits”? cause the coments are not being bad, just predecible, anyway
@Hurlbut: He’ll be a complete opposite of Larisa… except he’ll be a pyro, too. It’ll put a little heat in that relationship. (Ba-dump-dump…)
@Strife: Next up? Locker cohabitation (See also: the comic strip, “Zits”)
While Zits is a quite funny comic strip, I feel that the relationships in it are treated just as additional comedy fodder, not that they have a true meaning in itself.
