I hope this strip satisfies your sky-high expectations for the 1000th/1017th Sandra and Woo strip. The next strip will be published on Friday.
Also don’t forget to check out my 10 favorite strips from the last 499 published Sandra and Woo strips.
- Sandra: Hello! We’re interrupting the current story to celebrate the publication of the 1000th “Sandra and Woo” strip!
- Yuna: Actually, it’s the 1017th strip. Give or take two.
- Sandra: Excuse me?
- Yuna: There’s no reason to count the 17 strips published between the 10th and 26th of November 2016 as just one strip. It also makes no sense to count the strip “Freedom! Justice! Cookies!”, but not the strip “Mouse Cake Is Best Cake!”
- Yuna: Quod erat demonstrandum!
- Sandra: Spoilsport!
- Sandra: To celebrate the event–
- Yuna: Wait, there’s more!
- Sandra: Say what!?
- Yuna: The number 1000 isn’t any more important than 999 or 1001. The decimal system is an artificial construct that only prevailed for historical reasons. In the much more natural binary system, today’s strip would be numbered 1111101000.
- Yuna: As you can see, there’s no reason for festivities today. You can all go home and study for the physics test next week instead!
- Sandra: Cloud, asking for permission to whoop your twisted little sister.
- Cloud: Permission granted!
- Yuna: Hey, ouch! Leggo!
- Sign: The festivities will begin in the next panel. Please bear with us.
- Caption: NOT YET – THE END

I imagine Satan saying ‘And the young lady on the ropes here, I may plan to add to the R&D division. I hear her experiments can cause quite some chaos.’
@ wessodog:
That’s yulna, cloud’s sister, the girl that was being such an annoying knowitall.

A “somebody else’s problem” field, probably. Much superior to actual invisibility, because people don’t keep walking into you.

Not necessarily, Cloud and Ye Thuza are the ones trained in martial arts, Yuna is more of the brainy kid and I can’t recall having seen a display of physical combat skills from her, so unless she zaps Sandra with some evil overlord technical gimmick, Sandra should be able to handle the much smaller Yuna.
Hehehe, Ruth and Shadow’s mate… Something tells me that they better BOTH hope that Sid doesn’t lose his grip!
Guys, having the Woo ‘LOOK’ sign covering half the last two comments is really annoying. Couldn’t you move him a few inches to the right?

Can’t believe it took me so long to get the reference goddamnit
@ Feanen:
I’m guess that what those hedge cutters she keeps within arm’s reach are for.
I’m always confused by Taylor and Larisa looking similiar. Especially when Larisa wears glasses.

Yuna’s combat skills is her deadly aim.
and Sandra has the advantage of being a bigger kid.
This would imply that Sandra can actually restrain Yuna on her own…
Am- am I the only one remotely worried about the the end sign?
I see myself in Yuna (sometimes, I had similar arguments, mostly with my father). Actually, the most natural base is unary (also it is the first one ever used). But if You do not want to celebrate every comic (which You should), I suggest using quarter-imaginary base, as complex numbers are a field that has solution(s) to every polynomial (think about it, some comics are needlessly complex, others will remain imaginary and there will always be the ones which are negative with regard to some reader’s opinions). Therefore, happy comic 1030000000201 ! (not a factorial sign)

I believe it’s just part of the Asterix reference. That’s why there’s an extra “Not Yet” sign layered over it, because a panel like this would be The End of a typical Asterix story but is nowhere near the end of Sandra & Woo. (After all, we’ve already been shown what the last panel of the last strip will be, and fairly far in the future compared to the characters’ current ages!)
@ Dante:
Yeah, that was nicely done
@ wandrecanada:
I have thought so as well, I grew up with them and there is no way this not a reference.
Everyone sitting at a round table, the pig being roasted in the middle, a certain nuicance being bound and gagged, … and then there is the tag in second place as well
Nicely done, Novil!
In panel 7, what’s this about Twisted Sister? Does Dee Snider know about this?
There definitely is an Asterix and Obelix vibe to this, especially with Yuna in the position usually reserved for the bard Troubadix.
@ All-Purpose Guru:
“It’s not a bug, it’s an undocumented feature,” huh?
Retired repair tech and phone support operator here.
Engineers and devs should be required to use the products of their genius daily for six months before the final release is approved,
In fact, engineers should be required to built eh first five prototypes themselves, using only tools field techs would have, before it’s approved for release.
¡¡Yujju!!!
Congratulations!
I haven’t read the comments, so I don’t know if anyone else thought of the endings of Asterix books…
And Luna, the decimal system is perfectly natural. 10 is the number of fingers on a pair of human hands, so it’s very convenient to learn to count.
Maybe it “prevailed for historical reasons” over, say, base 2 or 4 (number of limbs) or 28 (finger bones), but still very convenient and natural.
Anyway, congrats on strip number 1111101000 Novil!

Oh-kayyyy, now that I checked tags, turns out that was intentional. I’m not as smart as I thought I was 🙁
@ AnotherBear:
It can’t be Dallas Fort Worth, the wild boars there would bend the spit they are using.
Congratulations. 1000 definitely is a number to be proud of. 🙂
Celebrates the 1024th. (2^10)
