Novil: you used the wrong “I” for “immobility”.
So I assume either she or someone she cares about is going to wind up with that punishment.
@ Xezlec:
No, the ‘I’ in the first panel is the same.
Seems like uppercase and lowercase ‘I’ looks different with that font, although the other lowercase letters look like uppercase. A bit strange, but without any deeper meaning.
@ AndiJN:
Comic lettering fonts have two forms of “I”. One is used for the pronoun “I” and the other is used for all other words. Novil accidentally used the wrong form in the second panel. That’s all.
A mere formality… Sounds like interview or something…
@ Xezlec:
Interesting, didn’t know that comic fonts are special in that way.
Actually, Novil always uses this for uppercase ‘I’, not just for the pronoun.
Watch the twist be she has to seduce cloud and taking him from sandra
Larisa obviously wrote the last season of Torchwood.
There’s something I don’t get about this website…
New comics are published at midnight in a time zone that just so happens to be the same as the one I live in (UTC+2). However, right after the comic is published, there are already comments. In this one there’s even a few comments from last Saturday, which is more than 24 hours prior to the posting of this comic! How does that even work?
Wow, those ARE good three choices.
Reminds me of the Sandman comic – anyone remember the “eternal waking” curse Morpheus puts on Burgess? Always waking up from a nightmare only to realise you’ve woken into another nightmare, in perpetuity. This is like that in reverse
On a more realistic note, a bit like someone in a coma but totally aware. And insomniac.
The image of these three things combined may make this, for me, the most disturbing strip ever. I wouldn’t wish those on *anyone* – it’s the point where things get past a joke.
Still, it wouldn’t be Sandra and Woo if it didn’t do that occasionally. 🙂
@ Foxite:
That’s simple: The comments are from Patreon-sponsors which are allowed to comment a comic-strip as soon as it is published.
@ Foxite:
If you support the comic via Patreon, you get see the comics before those who don’t. That’s why not only are there already comments, but they all have special borders depending on how much was pledged.
Larisa knows how immortality works. And she knows how to turn it from “sucks” to “infinite pain”.
I like her even more now.
I’m a tiny bit surprised something didn’t happen (Sandra arrived, Landon showed up, etc) to keep her from signing.
So she’s gone from a succubus to member of Board.
Lateral move then?
The funniest part of this comic is that The Devil is so shocked, he uses one of Jesus’s titles.
Completely awesome and just goes to show–the Devil is far more reasonable and likable than Thomas J. God. I bet Hell will absolutely rock when Larissa comes aboard! (I’m really hoping this isn’t a false lure because really, her talents would be wasted in Heaven!)
So, huh, is it common for the devil to exclaim “Dear Lord!”?
Is that moving up in the world, or down? I can’t tell.
I would’ve chosen being forced to sing Rebecca Black’s “Friday” and play Contra nonstop until winning (without the cheat codes or spread gun), and immortality. If, after a thousand years, by some shred of divine good will, you somehow win, you’re now trapped in eternity with nothing left in your mind except those two things.
From trading your soul to being one of the top rulers of Hell later on within 10 minutes. How paperwork from Hell that need some new limited rules with immortality.
Panel #3 —> Instant meme! :O
Has anyone considered the possibility of her selling her soul to the devil to save a friend’s life, may actually condemn her to heaven instead for her actions? And if in doing so, make her a punishment for Thomas J. God?
In the world of Michael Moorcock’s Elric of Melniboné, people who end up in the domain of Chaos at the Time of Change and fail to meet the challenge set by the Lords of Chaos meet a similar fate: “to be forever conscious”, as Lord Teshwan puts it. Elric gets to see all the previous victims, who also appear to be fixed in place – they don’t look at all happy about things.
I love it!!!!
Not sure about the other two, but one thing I would wish upon my worst enemy would be extreme empathy, the ability to feel the emotional and physical pain of all they have ever harmed.
@ Thisguy:
That sounds like something that Kenneth from 30 Rock would say!
@ dyingdemon:
I can imagine a great cloud vs succubus larisa plot.
Could have made it four and added Incontinence for an extra whammy.
Keep going, Larisa. Soon, Lucy will feel so threatned you may take over, he will send you to the rival company.
This is amusing to me because if the Bible is to be believed, your soul belongs to The Devil by default anyway, therefore you can’t “sell” it. It can only be reclaimed for you…
But all that aside and on another subject, I don’t see anything wrong with the I in immobility being the capital I, since it’s the start of a sentence where you’d be expected to use a capital letter.

Probably not… which tells you how good Larisa is 😀
The 10th Doctor used that punishment on one of his enemies (and set him up as a scarecrow too)
Van wrote:
Well I do not think that works that way… maybe if she truly desired heaven it would matter but when she would prefer to set Elysium ablaze, then there is little even god could do. He essentialy can not force a soul to go where it does not want to.
Even Devil can not do it without getting it bound first.

@ Paeris Kiran:
Yeah, but TJ God might force her into heaven just to spite for ruining his plans.
…then regret it and send her to be reincarnated just to keep her out of the devils hands, but also out of heaven.

Considering that The Doctor is now technically immortal and likely can regenerate forever…
You know what they say.
We are our own worst enemies.
@ HMRC4EVR:
Those two things are not mutually exclusive.
@ JohnGB:
Reminds me of characters like Lobo – immortal due to sheer “keep them away!”-ness.
Yeah, Larisa in Heaven? Kind of a paradox. Barring solutions best left for darker works, either they change the definition of Heaven, or Hell is going to see a lot of refugees.
For those among you debating the lettering of the first I:
If I might be so bold as to direct you to the first strip in this arc you will find that the letter I is set with feet, unlike the remaining I’s in the punishment. If it is the very first letter in a sentence it would appear that is its appearance, while subsequent I’s are rendered simply as straight lines. As such there is no “wrong” I.
As a personal note, is it not worth considering that the creators probably know what they are doing with typesetting their own comics? (Should this offend anyone, I do apologise, it is not meant as a slight, rather as an opinion on the subject matter).
Long live Sandra and Woo!
Anyone remember the LucasArts game AFTERLIFE and its sub story of Scegf0d cause he wound up with all 3.

Told you she’d soon be running the place
What I want to know is who’s the poor person Larissa intends this punishment for. Surely she had someone in mind as she was filling in those blanks.
Oooh! Those are good ones!
@ dyingdemon:
This is exciting
What three things would I wish upon the people I hate the most in the whole world? (That’s to say, poachers who hunt endangered animals, degenerates who buy rhino tusks and tiger claws to use as bogus aphrodisiacs, and fascists like Erdogan and Donald Trump.)
1. Eternal conscious stasis. (Yes, that’s Larisa’s three wishes turned in one wish.)
2. Superhumanly enhanced senses.
3. Chronic full-body itchiness.
Wow, Larisa, WOW. That’s a whole “I have no mouth and I must scream” level of punishment for you. No gloating, no pain. Just merciless eternal suffering.
As Pratchett wrote once, “Because the evil like power, power over people, and they want to see you in fear. They want you to know you’re going to die. So they’ll talk. They’ll gloat. […] So hope like hell your captor is an evil man. A good man will kill you with hardly a word.”
@ noname:
“Eternal conscious stasis.”
I think that wording is cheating. If you can do that you can say “Super Itchy Eternal Conscious Stasis”
As for Trump, he’s not half the Fascist that Hillary is.

That’s the fate to which Morgoth condemns Hurin, so that he can watch all the horrible things that happen to his family. After his children commit suicide out of guilt and self-loathing, Hurin is set free, and wandering in despair he unwittingly betrays his closest ally.
You realize, don’t you Beelzebub that within three years of entering the gates of Hell, Larisa is going to be gunning for YOUR job.
Somehow this contract is getting better and better for Larisa! go for it girl!
