I really hated horizontal bar exercises in school… or any other form of gymnastics.
- Sandra: Augh!
- Woo: What’s wrong?
- Sandra: I just got the feeling that something terrible has happened.
- Caption: A moment ago in the apartment of Sandra’s physical education teacher.
- P.E. teacher: And tomorrow, horizontal bar exercises!

Oh, no! Hang in there, Sandy!
The pull-up bar was usually bad enough. If they set up the Uneven Parallel Bars, most kids would be in serious trouble. I don’t think anyone who wasn’t already taking gymnastics independently could actually do anything with them; there are no “basic” exercises for those like there are for the balance beam or the horse.
“I feel a great disturbance in The Force… as if millions of unathletic voices suddenly cried out in exhaustion… and were suddenly silenced.”
This is like watching a horror movie.
“NO! Don’t go to class Sandra!! NOES!” … “Darnit! If only horror movie stars could hear me, they’d still be alive!”
I was cracking up at the dialouge before the cartoon itself loaded! 😀
Sandra is a jedi.
Sandra, it is time to get some ninja training, so that you may pass it.
Oh no poor Sandra, just know, we feel your pain! (I hate PE)
Now now Sandra, you have a very athletic boyfriend. You could always coax him to give you a private training.
Private training…. I think I need to rephrase that.
@ Jordan Thornquest:
How to avoid danger in horror movies:
1) Always listen to the background song, if it’s getting intense, turn around and run.
2) Never go investigate something suspicious alone, bring at least the whole village with you.
3) Go to a mall? good. Go to a weird wooden shack in the middle of the forest? NO!
Sandra felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices cried out in terror and were suddenly drowned out by the desperate grunts of failing students…
Obi-wan Kenobi to Sandra: “I just felt a great disturbance in the Force Sandra.”
Darth Sidious to Sandra’s PE Teacher: “Wipe them out, all of them.”
I always dreaded phys wed gymnastics….being overly tall, not much was made for me…especially after doing the rings and while swinging around, i caught one of the spotters in the gut with my feet (he WAS standing far enough away for other students, just not for me!….And he complained afterward about the ‘hit-and-run battleships!”)
Hmm, a new story line at Sandra’s expense? Never threaten the hand of god, folks.
For some reason I’m curious as to how awesome Cloud will be at that.
Also on how well Larisa will do, cause that much crazy in such a small package is bound to be nimble and agile
What a twist!!
Btw PE exercises gets easy…for some people
Pinkie sense!
Why is there no “Dun dun DUN!” in the end?
See, we never had any kind of bars in either grade or high school. The only time I ever came across bars was when I had summer gymnastics classes as a young kid. I hated the bars because of my negligible upper-body strength, but I enjoyed the rest of it; except when I had to ditch my glasses to go over the spring-board vault thingy.
Oh man how I HATED that exercise as well. I can feel your pain Sandy. 🙁
It’s a shame that only Woo has shared his speaking secret with Sandra. If Sid was brought into this circle, he could teach her a few tricks for gymnastics…though I doubt she’d be able to grasp them easily. 😉
I envy Sandra her sixth sense. Whenever my PE teacher would add something new to the mix I never saw it coming.
@ Tfeth282:
Nah, if she were a Jedi, she could use the Force to cheat on exercises.
Lol be glad Ye Thuza isnt the gym teacher or that bar would be the Least of your worries.
I think we overdid it in Gaia with Jedi references…
Okay, never heard of this. Someone help? It is essentially chin ups? It sounds like chin ups. ust never heard of “horizontal bar exercises”. Never did that, back when I was in school.
@ AckAckAck:
it would be wise.
Oh, the horrors of P.E. In this case, I think I can see a section sawn from the middle of each horizontal bar turning up in the P.E. teacher’s future, and bed. Dat’s how ya show ya got arm muscles, capische? >:=)>
I can’t imagine any excercise worse than ‘revolving around the horizontal bar’. I simply feared the idea of loosing grip while not even knowing which direction to fall down.
Therefore, not only i was unable to revolve around the bar on my own (which i think is normal for the majority of Highschool students), but aswell unable to get revolved around the bar by my P.E.-teacher. I couldn’t help fighting it, until he finally gave up.
I loved doing horizontal bar exercises! gymnastics was always my favorite and i was good at it, till i took an arrow to the shoulder. Why the hell my school put the archery range so close to the outdoor gymnastics area i’ll never know….

Almost didn’t post this because of the creepiness factor but I can’t wait to see Sandra in her gym clothes and being a bit of a klutz! So cute!
@ MacareuxMoine: At least it didn’t hit you *puts on glasses* in the knee, no someone, please murder me for making that joke…
Thus having been proven worthwhile, Woo returned to his position as a background character~
Is this a reference to this week’s Downton Abbey?
Who here thinks I’m crazy for doing gymnastics for fun?
I could not rope climb, and I could not ice-skate, the latter being a particularly blatant disgrace for a Dutch born person. I finally learned the noble skill to glide on frozen waters when I was about 40.
Panel 2…I like the shadowing and integrating the book, that’s a nice touch. But…where the heck is the light coming from? Half way down a wall?
Should have been nicer to the hand of god sandra, Especially when he controls your teachers every move.
whaaaaa! SHE SHOULD USE HER POWER TO GO USE AND WARN PEOPLE ABOUT THE disturbance AND TELL THEM THE BEST PLACE TO GET FAKE DOCTOR NOTES!!!! AHAHAHAH >W<
@ smith0211:
You mean Sandie sense. 😉
The funny thing is that some people can actually do this. My girlfriend has this thing where she’ll get the same feeling any time something terrible happens to one of her friends, to the point where she’ll be jolted awake at night because somewhere in the world, something terrible has happened or is about to happen to someone she cares for. The weird part is that she’s usually right. Given, correlation =/= causation, just because something bad happens to her friends any time she gets this doesn’t mean it’s the cause of it. However, when you have a mutual friend with the worst luck in the world who is constantly in the ER for one reason or another (seriously, I nicknamed her “Miss Tower” after the Tower card from the tarot, it represents calamity and misfortune which sadly is the story of her life) and your girlfriend has predicted her being hospitalized before knowing at least 12 times thus far, you have to give the theory some credit. Hell, one time I had the same thing happen to me, as it turns out something bad happened to Miss Tower AGAIN but my GF was completely passed out after a long work shift, I think her subcounscious channeled the feeling of dread her ability gives her through the bond we share as lovers, result being I woke up in the middle of the night in a campsite in Utah, at least 200 miles away from either of them, and spent the rest of the morning usuing what little cell service I could find, texting them to make sure everything was ok.
Heh. Wuss.
The gymnastic stuff was easy mode for PE.
Didn’t they ever make you play Rugby near the coast, with the salty sea-wind blowing in from the side, the pouring rain from above, and the muddy abyss beneath?
I used to be so freakin glad on the few rare occasions when we could get a nice, dry, indoor PE lesson.
@ IchiSanSanShichi:
Yes, some people do have psychic abilities. There’s enough anecdotal and even clinical evidence of this. In fact, paranormal phenomena, including Near-Death Experiences, Out-of-Body Experiences, etc. are the basis of our spiritual beliefs. How else would people believe in the supernatural? That we have a soul that exists independently of the body and will survive the death of the body and live on, or be reborn.
