[0373] Derailed Train Of Thought
└ posted on Thursday, 3 May 2012, by Novil
- Larisa: … what was I saying? … Oh yeah, I’m really glad that I’m not a lesbian.
- Larisa: There are probably not many other lesbian girls in our town, maybe 2 or 3. And if those were stupid bimbos, I’d have NO ONE for smooching!
- Larisa: Boy, that would suck!
- Teacher: We’re all happy for you. But I don’t think that’s what you meant to say.
- Larisa: Why not?
- Teacher: Because you’re in the middle of a presentation about the ozone layer!
- Larisa: Oh yeah, right.

Huh. Feels like the meat eating squirrel arc was not finished =/
I think that girl sitting down might be 1 of the 3 in town…
Also that is an awesome shirt!!
Well, at least we know now that Larisa somehow knows there’s no bi (or anything like it) girls in the town, now the question is just how? …Wait, it’s Larisa, that’s never a good sign. Forget I asked.
Also, that girl in the last panel xD
That would make for an interesting presentation…
This seems like a “Derailed Train of Plot”
And rofl at what Larisa’s shirt says.
Nice 😀 but didn´t she say she liked kissing Sandra? (though not as much as kissing boys :D)
Ah, ADD/ADHD and presentations, a combination that will always remind me of my (a bit) younger days.
Cid being captured to released in next strip.
Cid talking to crazy fem squrriel for the first time to scene with kids in school.
WE’RE TIME JUMPING! THE UNIVERSE IS GOING TO BE DESTROYED!
Sooooooooo, do I get marked down?
How did that digression start, I wonder…
“The ozone layer, here, lies in the lower reaches of the stratosphere, here, situated above the majority of the clouds, here. *sigh* Cloud… he’s so special. That Sandra North thinks she’s got him, but she’ll see…”
YES! The return of classic Sandra & Woo, now with less color!
I at least though that Larisa was at least Bi, or at least open to the idea. Besides, Larisa is far too young to decide whether or not she is a lesbian. She has to at least wait until she gets in college. Then she will become a bitter, man-hateing lesbian like the rest of the sophomores!

By Jove, I think your right! Also, awesome shirt is awesome. I could see the heart stylized as some kind of elaborate Ed Hardy-esque looking heart.
@Novil
If you want to start selling those “I <3 Fire" T-shirts, I would be down to buy a few.
I so understand how she feels. If I wasn’t at least semi-cautious about what I say when I lose my train of thought I could have even weirder things come out of my mouth, and in even weirder situations. Of course, I never learned how to be embarrassed, so the main reason I learned that skill was to prevent confusion in whoever I was talking to.
Just a suggestion, but I’d move Larisa’s left hand away, lest readers/fellow students get the wrong idea.
uh, good for you?
Puuh. Finally. I must admit i’m glad to see something beside foxes and squirrels again!
could care less about the color 😀 I’d trade it for one additional update any time 😀
I believe the definition of “bimbo” includes: blondness, scatter-brainedness (losing one’s train of thought in the middle of speaking to others) and a distinct tendency toward and desire for courting behavior – i.e. smooching and such…
I was ASTONISHED when the cartoon wasn’t up at the regular time. I can’t remember S&W ever being late before but there I was at 4.45am, got out of bed, clicked on and what the hell, no update.
Which just goes to show how faithfully this thing is updated, you could set your watch by it. So lets take a moment to applaud Novil and Powree for that.
I keep wondering why she is my favorite character?
And this is exactly why this comic is amazing. :3
Not only did that train fully derail, but I’m not sure it was headed in the right direction to begin with. Xp
@ Naes Draw:
… which is to be expected if you have a pyromaniac hold a presentation about the ozone layer, isn’t it? Considering all things, it’s probably not so bad the wrong-headed train of thoughts did derail. Had it not, I could see Larisa convincing the class and the teacher that the ozone layer must. be. destoyed..
Bluff Check failed…so close
@ Felia:
OT: Cool Gravatar. You doin’ Lucky Luke cosplay?
Lookitdat, she has the same mind as I do.
there is a girl with her priorities in line. Screw the ozone layer – she’s got kissing to do! [her logic seems to imply, though, that if there was a shortage of boys at that school she would be saying “thank goodness i’m a lesbian because there aren’t that many boys and if they were dummies…”
OMG NEED TO GET A SHIRT LIKE LARISSA’S…
~Kat: the original pyromaniac…
@ Kracka:
I agree completely with both of the things you just said! XD
@ Tarq:
Dude, that was an awesome play on words there! XD
@ Bucc-i:
I’m 100% sure that you aren’t able to “decide” what your sexuality is. It’s what you’re born with. I’d say something more along the lines that her romantic/love-related feelings aren’t fully developed yet… but then again, she has kissed and dated a whole lot of people, hasn’t she?
It was an informative exposition, anyway.
Your teacher has a point Larissa. You silly goose, in order to troll properly you should just segue into a discussion on Deborah Kogan and Jane Goodall, __then__ you can gone completely off topic. Once you have everyone completely snowed, no one ever conciders questioning the connection between the pink elephant in the room and Ozone layer.
Alas, the damage has been done. Oh well, c’est la vie.
I want tht shirt. I want it so bad. I will buy that shirt. Lots of people will. You should sell it.
That train didn’t derail, t grew wings and flew. Though into fun areas, it still flew off those tracks… what was I saying? Oh yeah, glad I’m not straight. Having to deal with all that DRAMA. Oy…. I have enough on my own, thank you.

Unfortunately there is no good translation for the German word „Zicke“ that I wanted to use here. But “bimbo” also implies a certain amount of trashiness and malevolence.
hmm…if i gather the meaning of her t-shirt correctly, i’d be more than happy to pass on my many bouts with heartburn to her…
oh ummmm,…. then a rainbow elephant man jumped out of an airplane without a parachute?

I didn´t even notice, heh…
@ Paeris Kiran:
Good eye! WOW! I didn’t even catch the Jackson woo hoo moment until just now… the two dimensions being what they are, I too recommend altering the last panel. It’s suggestive in more than an Austrailian Coco-cola sense.
She said she’s not a lesbian, lassie in the front row. Bisexuality is still a possibility.

Maybe bitch would have gone better there (pretty sure most people think bimbo=dumb, while bitch=mean) but I guess you would prefer to avoid such words (I think, can’t remember if you’ve used curse words before).

That’s funny, I thought Bimbo was a bakery and Futbol team supporter.

Must… not… get into… discussion…. on sexuallity…. MUST… RESIST!
OH GAWD! Your troll bait is soooo delicious!
Its soooo yummy and sweet!
Great one. Poor girl at the end seems like one of that minority of those 2 or 3.
Also I sooo want Larisas T-shirt. I’d wear it for demolitions. ^^
We never said you were a lesbian, Larisa!
You’re obviously bi with a preference towards men. XD
(You guys had better start selling those I <3 Fire t-shirts.)
@ Paeris Kiran:
Well that could just make her bisexual with a preference for guys. She’s not saying it would suck if she was attracted to women, she’s saying it would suck if she was only attracted to them.
@ Icalasari:
Neither was shadow getting food :/

Yes, if Google Translate is anything to go by, “Nanny-goat” wouldn’t have been a good translation, I don’t think.
Oh, yeah… So there’s a hole in the ozone layer, and if we’re not careful, we’ll all die by the end of 2012, just like the Mayans said. You know, the Mayans were a pretty cool civilization. They were pretty obsessed with the number sixty, though. Or maybe that was the Aztecs. I’ll have to check my notes…. Wait, this isn’t history class?
“…Well, anyway, we’re burning a hole in the ozone layer, as I shall now demonstrate. *flicks lighter* *ignites chart* And so the sunlight… *points to flickering flames* will get through because of all these fossil fuels we have released through the burning– *the flames lick the whole chart and begin burning the edges of the paper* Okay, so they’re greenhouse gases which destroy the ozone layer, and ultimately, everything is destroyed by one little thing. *the last scrap of paper burns up*
“For want of a nail, the horse was lost, am I right? Yeah, I think I read that for literat– what? Principal’s office? For what, I was just giving a report… You can’t be serious. Oh, let go! All right, see you.”
