- Sandy South: Stop right there, criminal scum! I have a raccoon, and it’s loaded!
- Tommy: Pff…
- Tommy: I have a Sig Sauer P226, and it’s loaded too!
- Qoo: Meep
- Roger Brown: I’ve always known that Kellogg’s is keen on our three secret ingredients. But that they’d go this far…
- Tommy: I’m not from Kellogg’s, imbecile!
- Roger Brown: What do you want then, you axe-wielding lunatic?
- Tommy: A virgin sacrifice for Huitzilopochtli, the Aztec god of war!
- Roger Brown: I’d never have guessed that…
I knew it all along.
I knew it… Novil knows some weird Gods!
Or is it Powree who knows weird Gods? I still don’t know the full story… dammit…
This plot is getting weird beyond imagination. That sacrifice should include honey and presumably cereals, but definitely no raisins.
And thus did Sandy South come to curse her own innocence.
This plot twist is so ludicrous you’d make Shamalan’s jaw drop
Ok, for some reason I was expecting Tommy to *not* be a complete wacko.
I guess I was wrong.
Now I’m expecting the next chapter to be Sandra and Tommy running a stone-cold bluff to the effect of, “Unfortunately for you, there are no virgins here.”
Strike that, I meant Roger.
Huitzilopochtli, the Aztec god of war?! Why not Xipe Totec, Aztec god of agriculture. And zits. (seriously!)
Sandy South: (touches face) Zits?!?!!! I’ll take the god of war, thanks! D-:
>:=)>
I wonder if Seeoahtlahmakaskay knows Huitzilopochtli
He didn’t appear in either strip 495 or 550, but it appears “the great beyond” is a pretty tight-knit club.
If Sandy gets sacrificed, we can conclude that it’s Cloud’s fault. I’m pretty sure that Larisa told him he and Sandy should do it just in case this exact situation happened.
Is Larisa making movies again?
And just why did he think a food comedy’s HQ be a good place to find such a victim?
Wouldn’t a certain programming company be a more likely target?
Gotta agree with the guy, that wasn’t expected.
At least the bad guy has good trigger discipline! And good taste in pistols.
@ CosmicIrony:
I’m surprised I didn’t notice that.
And then we find out Tommy is trying to bring his God into the world by killing the last Empress of Northia!
@ Greenwood Goat:
Xipe Totec also has the most interesting sacrifices! The victims skin is sliced of and then worn by the priest as the priest says the prayer and cuts the victim’s heart out! 🙂 Another reason to choose the other guy!
…What.
I know that name *Squee*
No virgins here sir.
@ CosmicIrony:
I was just about to say that about the trigger discipline and decided to check prior comments first. Good call, Powree!(and/or Novil!)
He looks so pleased with himself in that last panel. “Uh huh, that’s right, I really am that crazy.”
I wonder if in the next strip he chooses Roger with a motivation like “who knows what early teenage girls are doing nowadays, but a person who not only becomes the employee of the year, but also keeps working on weekends, that’s definitely a virgin”. He had no reason to expect a young girl there, but he may have somehow known about Roger.
@ Crystalgate:
Or he’s planning to sacrifice himself and just needed the building… *BOOM*
P.S.: not a single coment about the gun choice? Seriously, people?
Wonder what will Roger pull out from his backpack. Beretta 92?;)
This is tagged “the elder scrolls”. Am I missing a reference?
Luckily for everyone involved the new cereal recipe is virgin. No one can bring thier lips to touch it.
@ Heinfred:
And what’s wrong with raisins?
TOMMY IS SHEOGORATH
Well. o_O That IS a surprise.
Dude. Just go to the super market. I’m sure virgin olive oil will work.
this makes me remember when little imp tried to persuade Varsuvius to use virgin blood to enhance his magic…
at the point the Elf got angry and ask how he/she would obtain such riddiculoulsy long to cultivate resource on the barren island in the middle of the ocean and asked wheather the imp could actually offer any real power or not…
I think Sandra & Woo has just reached perfection. The comic cannot possibly get better than this.
is it just me or do these plots get less and less slice of life and more and more totally bullshit crazy?
Not htat that’s necessarily a bad thing, I mean I enjoy the strips but I fell like it’s a different comic I’m reading Oo
@ Pat:
“Stop right there, criminal scum” is the catchphrase of the overzealous City Guards in ESIV: Oblivion.
Great. Another nutjob that aren’t related to the whole incident.
I was half-expecting Sandra to be like “don’t look at me…” but she’s such a prude.
I’m pretty sure Sandra North is a virgin, but can we assume the same of Sandy South?!
Given the known love of Final Fantasy, I would have said I was surprised that it wasn’t Quetzalcoatl that was used. Except I know full well that Quetzalcoatl was against human sacrifice, and way too nice in general to be worshipped by a self-confessed psycho.

Ugh… this strip obviously takes Sandra’s Sandy South antics into Sandra’s public reality. Obviously she’s in serious danger here.
Also, nice gun. He probably stole it from the RCMP or something, where does Sandra live again?
Can I just point out that the gun isn’t even cocked? There’s no present threat.
I’d check the safety too, but the angle’s wrong for that- a gun’s safety is usually on the side with your thumb, and I don’t think that’s an ambidextrous weapon.
those requests tho
I am questioning the mind of someone who’s looking for a virgin sacrifice, in 2015, in a cereal factory, for an Aztec’s God of War, in USA, when there’s no war at all.
Also questioning the mind of someone who came up with this idea.

Maybe he expects only people without any social life in the office, and the blood sacrifice is so Huitzilpochtli will get enough steam to START a war?
I find it strange that some posts suggests it actually matters whether or not Sandra is a virgin. Tommy would not know, he can only guess Sandra’s age and then in turn make a reasonable guess on the chances.
BTW, what’s up with the tags. I count no less than three tags that only relates to this strip.
Just be glad it isn’t Xipe Totec.
