Shadow’s line is stolen pirated copied shared from the strip Summer Weather of the completed webcomic Ozy and Millie. It’s my favorite quote and I have bought the original strip which is now hanging on my wall. Ozy and Millie was also one of the main inspirations to start a webcomic of my own.
There are four new polls that appear randomly in the right navigation bar. It’s always interesting to get the opinion of readers on various topics. Here you can see the results of past polls: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5]
Have you already read the news entry about the Sandra and Woo fanart contest 2012 (with prize money)?
- Shadow: The worst thing about hell is that you can see heaven.

Eugh such a waste of food, damn humans ~gives Shadow some chicken sandwiches~
“stolen pirated copied shared” Coopted mayhaps?
I believe the term is “inspired by”. >:=)> As for poor Shadow, he is so deprived of inspiration, his very brush (tail) has turned grey.
I guess you could say heaven really has gone down into the dumps wait did I just say that?
I’ve tried to submit this comment 4 times and if it doesn’t go in now…I’ll never understand why some establishments lock up their garbage like that. Locking something up implies that there’s value to it…but it’s being thrown out…so……
Kenmaster? http://www.picanese.com/pbpics/6f2abc166a50302a27142e3cd43b30ec.jpg

Get woo! We already know he can pick locks (also, he might not even need to)
You’re assuming that hell isn’t something that was created out of a fear that “all” people could attain their own paradise on earth. If the wages of sin is death, then when you die you’ve paid for your sins. Jesus notwithstanding, why would you spend a lifetime suffering and then be condemned to an eternal damnation?
@ Petah-Petah:
Heheh, right now I’m using a Kenmaster electric cord. That brand is well known household brand.
Talk about taunting him.
@ kittehwolf:
Professional chef’s aren’t afraid of throwing out food for several reasons. I can think of a few off the top of my head that include the safety of customers and, in the case of a few sauces and oils, expiration of product. The fact that it is still edible does not make it palatable or safe for consumption.
I think your concern is related to being supply conscious. you may have confused avarice with the idea that “there isn’t enough” food or water in the world. And, honestly, that isn’t true, I’m surprised people aren’t aware of renewable resources for all the talk of recycling, sustainability, and alternative energy.
We find ourselves attatched to heroes of any story, because for the most part, they’re the underdogs. And we watch them suffer hardships not because we find some sadistic pleasure in it (or most of us don’t), but because we know they’ll pull through in the end, and get what they deserve.
Don’t give up Shadow! The arc can’t go on forever!
A friend of mine once gave me a strange look when I answered the question “Would you eat out of a garbage can?” with “If I was hungry enough? Hell ya!” She obviously didn’t know of the good shit that people just throw away.
In any case, keep on trucking little man. We’re all rooting for you.
@ SlimeCat The awesome one: Well, that’s a very valid comment chu typed there oh SlimeCat. Ima say that the food in panel two looks like it has been half eaten (to me anyhow), ie the chicken leg and muffin.
A lot of energy and time went into growing food. So regardless of renewability or lack of/too much food, I’ve always hated seeing food just being just thrown away/wasted like that.
So glad that I’m not the only one who’s thought of this concept and that others have thought of it long before me.
Due to this happening many times on sites like Youtube, whenever the subject of Religion comes up, I think it might be wise to ask.
So we don’t have hundreds of comments going back and forth bashing each other, can we respect each others beliefs, and not open up a big debate on the matter?
An awesome comic like Sandra and Woo isn’t the place for debate wars…
@ Draccoon:
True. However, it occurs to me that the author conglomerate of Sandra and Woo like to generate marketing buzz. In order to help them make money from advertising, to pay for advertising, and keep food in their collective bellies, we have to ensure the hits/clicks stay up.
Because if we keep the creators happy they don’t have to do odd things like borrow ideas from My Little Pony, Calvin and Hobbs, and heaven forbid The Far Side, or Jumble.
@ Draccoon:
If you’re just trying to pre-empt any arguments before they begin, then I agree :p
But if you thought people were already starting… I looked over the comments thus far, and find it amusing the idea of wasting food is the only controversy being discussed right now 😛
Those last words he says are new to me. I LIKE THEM! 😀
Time for being a cunning fox to come into use
Ah Shadow go and eat that damned pudle from last strip and be done with it.

Or sometimes a story will ended up with shaggy doy story http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ShaggyDogStory
He took that quote from someone else, I can’t remember who, but it’s not his originally ether.
@ Greenwood Goat:
If you mean the last panel, I think that’s a trash bag and not his tail.

What you have said is nonsensical. Examine yourself and see your own pride, lust, greed and envy. Are those the elements with which you expect to create paradise? The only “paradise” you could hope to create with that is one in which everybody else suffers. Everybody else is the same, in varying degrees. Be not deceived, sin leads not only to natural death, but also to the Second Death, which is Gehenna.

Do you have a problem with using the Bible as a literary reference? If so, you must not read much, since using the Bible as a literary reference is a very common practice.
Shadow could have fed himself on that spaghetti, but it would have been very hard to take back to his family for logistical reasons. He was going to have to find some other food anyway.

poor poor shadow
He could get Woo to pick the lock… 🙂
@ WolfieMario:
I’d go with the first one,
just trying to stop something before it begins
@ myth buster:
No, no problems at all,
I’ve actually cited the Bible myself quite a few times.
My first comment was for the sole purpose of keeping the peace.
And the best part about hell is the music! Jimmy Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, James Brown, Layne Staley, etc…
Not to mention EVERY Heavy Metal group known to man!
ROCK ON HELL!
@ kittehwolf:
@ Luckster:You’re assuming that the food being placed in a locked bin is being wasted.
It may be; or it may be going to feed other animals, such as pigs.
Hard luck for Shadow, but not a waste of food.
Who’s the fussy eater that’s finished after 1 bite of chicken, muffin, and hasn’t touched at least 1/2 of the spaghetti and meatballs?!
@ Greenwood Goat:
LOL, didnt notice before you said that. You’ve got some sharp eyes there. o_o
Or maybe im just stupid. ROFL

On Youtube, if religion is referenced in any way, no matter how trivial, there will be a flame war over it.
He was talking about people’s reactions to Religion refernces, not about those references themselves. By the way, if you can’t see differences between Youtube (and other interactive places, prone to flame wars) and books, you are the one who doesn’t read much@ myth buster:
Story of lifes. Fortunately not mine.
Shadow, if you are desperate enough you WILL go and find some bolt cutters.
*shrugs and throws Shadow bolt cutters*

You apparently have never had to deal with wild animals ripping open and dragging around trash before. Cleaning it up is seriously a huge pain, and I’ve never even had to deal with cleaning up food stuffs from my garbage being ravaged (just papers and such), so a restaurant doing this is far, far more responsible than waiting for the off-chance to feed the hero of a comic some scraps of food. 😀
@ Moxie Man:
Actually, I think it IS his tail. Notice the movement lines similar to the ones above Shadow’s head. Seems to be a coloring mistake to me.
He should wait for the next meal to come out, and strike!
See, if that was my plate Shadow wouldn’t be in that hell. He would probably starve, sadly, but he wouldn’t be in that hell.
“Shadow’s line is stolen pirated copied shared from the strip Summer Weather of the completed webcomic Ozy and Millie.”
Well, if you’re going to steal, pirate, copy or “share”; do it from the best!
@ myth buster:
Nonsensical as what I say my be, I like to think myself a man after gods own heart. And while I cannot deny being motivated by all of the seven deadly sins. I figure God, or whatever cosmic force you choose to believe in, put them there as a way of motivating change and improvement.
To deny one’s human nature or weaknesses seems wrong. A carpenter would not throw away his tools without a reason. Creating paradise with greed, envy, lust, and pride, along with charity, hope, and faith, seems entirely possible to me. Incentives are good motivators.
Then again I think the bible got co-opted by the devil the moment Peter was insulted and indirectly on purpose caused the death of more than just a few people.
It just seems odd the tune goes from loose lips sink ships, give unto Caesar the things that are Caesar, I will not live for power, I will not live for pleasure, I will not sacrifice my independence and all that jazz. Before all of a sudden changing into “It’s okay because God told me it was okay,” “God knows everything, So I know your holding out on me, YOU LIAR” “By lying to me you’ve insulted God. I keel you! no wait God Kill you Its not homicide then it’s justifiable.”
Really? what happened to sage advice like “Love God with all your heart and love your neighbor as yourself?” or “be shrewd as snakes but innocent as lambs.”
I don’t know, it just seems like too many cooks spoiled the broth at some point. Heck, even Paul is considered the greatest salesmen of all time. A real moral compass there, I’m willing to bet every car dealer of the christian persuasion want’s to be just like him.

@ myth buster:
Can I exert some godly influence of my own to have to shut up and comment on the funny animals in the picture, not belief systems?
@ Neospector:
Thank da LAWD
@ Neospector:
Sorry, I didn’t realize my comment was removing any sort of enjoyment from the comic itself. If I were more politically savvy or incompetent I might bring up charges of discrimination on the basis of…something or other. I will attempt to make all of my comments more light hearted in the future, because it would appear I can’t be silly and complain at the same time. Rest assured my comments are not mean spirited in the slightest.
1.) The reason restaurants lock their dumpsters is because if a human got hurt digging through the trash for food or whatever they can be sued.
2.) That bin is just plastic and rats have been known to gnaw through them.
3.) Discussion of a fox’s imagined religion is ridiculous and a waste of time.
