Woo could use your help
Sandra and Woo has reached the quarterfinals of the 2013 Webcomics Tournament at ComicMix! Only 8 webcomic of 300 are left, and Sandra and Woo is one of them! Our opponent now is XKCD. I begin to believe that we can actually win this contest since some of the most popular online comics such as Penny Arcade and Order of the Stick haven’t even made it to the quarterfinals. So beating XKCD is certainly possible.
Although I’m still skeptical about the possibility to buy votes for your favorite comic by making a donation to a charity, I would be super happy if Sandra and Woo came out as the winner in the end. That would certainly give our comic some additional exposure. I doubt we’ll get into the same position next year, so it would be great if you could support us this year with as many votes as possible in the last rounds of the tournament! We will also release a new wallpaper featuring private eye Sandy South and her partner Qoo if Sandra and Woo should win.
Yeah, Penny Arcade is rather bad, not surprised it got knocked out.
@ Tonks:
I’m sure Sandra & Woo will get much further, may even win it :3 It’s of much high quality than Penny Arcade.
I think you’re making a mistake if you treat this content as anything but a way to raise money for charity. Treating this as a serious popularity contest (1) feels a little bit juvenile – webcomics are not a zero sum game and class president elections ended a while back and (2) misses the whole point of raising money for charity.
This is meant to be viewed as a good natured lark. Perhaps a little quiet ego-boo for the artists if they do well, but mostly a chance for readers to donate to a good cause.
Taking it much more seriously risks ruining the spirit of light-hearted competition in service of a good cause.
Sandra and Woo vs XKCD. tough choice, they’re both pretty good. I might sit this one out until I decide which is better, If I decide. Also don’t worry about winning or losing. It’s not really important. You make a great comic, and it doesn’t have to be the best comic in existence.
You’re fortunate I don’t have Facebook or Twitter. I like Sandra and Woo. But I like xkcd better. Just sayin’.
Come on guys, it’s not all that selfish. More attention to the comic now means more attention for the contest means attention for the cause. Just think in absolute numbers for once – a webcomic creator is usually far from making his or her living through the comic alone, even though they devote a lot of time and work to it. Sure, that goes for every webcomic creator (though the amount of time needed to create an xkcd strip may certainly vary from one of Sandra and Woo’s 😉 ), but now you’re here and seem to be steady readers, you may as well show you’re aware of this. And also, I know of no other project with such a unique constellation of authors. Cheers to Waiblingen and Bandung!
Oh, have our friends at Commander Kitty gone bankrupt?
I enjoy both comics, and for me it’s like comparing apples to oranges so it’s hard to choose which one I would prefer to vote for, so it comes down to one factor: you asked. Vote given to the comic creator(s) that want the vote more.
Also there’s this common belief that xkcd doesn’t need any help and is doing just fine without extra promotion.
I voted for you. I live both comics, but I don’t think, xkcd needs any extra promotion
If anyone wants to know, whoever posted the latest comic [a dark and stormy night 2] messed up. They posted it by accident in the slot for April 11, 2012! If you want to read that misplaced comic right now, go to the comic archive section to find it.
penny arcade is just boring
