I have asked most of these readers to answer a few interview questions about Sandra and Woo. I will post all questionnaires that I have received so far over the course of the next weeks. The first one below is by our reader

Moatl

Can you please introduce yourself to our readers?

> Hi! My name is Martin, I’m 36 year young and I’m from Passau (Germany) – no, thanks for asking, but we’re fine with floods, the Danube must be over 50 m over normal to reach our place. My nickname “Moatl” is just the “short” version of Martin as used in Bavarian language. I’m working as an electrical engineer for a testing company (TÜV SÜD) in Straubing. My hobbies are photography, astronomy, collecting comics (and mangas) and playing music – I’m an organist at our local church, too.

When you read Sandra and Woo for the first time, what grabbed your attention the most?

> It must have been 2011 – I think it was during the “adventure arc”, but nobody does save browser logs for so long – when I “stumbled” over a Sandra and Woo banner on another webcomic page. It was that one where Woo is “fighting” the art of Piet Mondrian. I like the paintings of Mondrian very much. In 2005 I travelled to Vienna only to see pictures of Mondrian at the Albertina. Reading the comic I saw it’s published in Germany, too.

Is the thing you mentioned above still your favorite part of the comic, or do you like something else the most now?

> The question is missing a point here, I think. What I like on Sandra and Woo very much is it’s variety. It’s different, rather small story arcs – even with partial serious themes – with VERRY different characters, even animals and humans mixed. I like that I’m surprised (positively) again and again when I’m reading the comic. And of course I like the Mondiran joke still today. I’m very happy Oliver made one of the big poster out of this.

Who is your favorite character and why?

> Difficult to answer, but I think it’s Larissa. She’s the character who “is thinking around the corner”, sometimes and she’s the character for the “unexpected” things, like breaking the law of gravity or the record of throwing a cell phone.

Do you have a favorite story arc and/or a favorite single strip?

> Even more difficult to answer, I have no quick answer for that and must read all strips before I can answer this. 😉 But the “Exotic Pet Owners” arc where Woo eats Tweety in the end is one of my favorites. The Museum arc was funny, too.

You have read Sandra and Woo for many years now. Do you think the comic has changed in any way since the beginning?

> Well, in a way Powree’s drawings are – how to say – more abstract than in 2008, but I count that as artistic “development”. Same for the storylines.

Sandra and Woo is sometimes criticized for lacking focus. Is there an aspect of the comic that you’d rather get rid of?

> I think I don’t understand the criticism – and so the question – here, fully. Contrary to e.g. Gaia, Sandra and Woo is more a “Gag a Day” comic. So it tells no “one big“ storyline but many different little ones. The only thing I can think of what I didn’t like was the Nazi joke in the last “Empress” arc. But maybe that’s because I’m from Germany…

Is there a topic you’d like to see getting addressed in a longer story arc?

> Sandra and Larissa going abroad? I don’t know. It would be funny to see Larissa struggling if she should burn or admire the art…

What are your wishes for the future of Sandra and Woo?

> Stay healthy!

Is there any other webcomic which you’d like to recommend to our readers?

> And now to something completely different… www.drowtales.com. Drowtales is a web comic I’m reading for over 10 years, by now.

Do you have anything else do say? Here’s room for it:
