I wonder if Woo would help Sandra (he could nod or shake his head, he wouldn’t have to speak and he can position himself so that most people wouldn’t see him) or if he wants the contest to be fair.
Sandra had better win this now, because I have a feeling round 4 is the high dive competition.
Now that some long-term grudge going on here…
The fact that she’s put so much effort into this shows how much Sandra means to her.
Without going back to check I can’t remember what this contest is about…
Larisa: “Can Raccoons talk?”
Sandra: “Yes”
Zoey: “No”
Woo: “Yes”
Larisa: “Sandra wins!”

Zoey literally walk on Sandra during her panic attack about the height of the dive board, so so Sandra challenged her to a dual.
Unfortunately, I bet raccoon “facts” are much different from what actual raccoons consider facts.
How many people besides me actually checked out yourfireshop.com

Curse you! you made me look! and the 1990s era look is burning my eyes!

… Yeah, I’m not so confident about Sandra’s odds now.
YourFireShop.com , quality patio fire products products straight out of Bensenville, Illinois!
I was wondering why specifically Larisa was hocking it, until I specifically saw they do custom fire pit jobs as well. Now I’m slightly worried about what Larisa has had built in her family’s backyard…
How I wound up with two specificallys, specifically, is beyond me.
Zoey wiping the smug look off of Sandra’s face. Dare I hope that our underdog hero snatches victory from the jaws of defeat?

@ Senjiu:
Hmm I’m perplexed in how having someone with insider knowledge suggest is “fair” against someone who STUDIED the test subject.
I checked the shop, no flamethrowers available. I am disappointed.
PS2kid Enjoy the show.
The girls are cute.
Zoey used psychological war fare.
Time to shine, Zoey.
Having a nemesis in school seems a bit megalomaniacal, though … again.
This feels like a reference to Fíorghael.

I love the idea of Zoey meticulously studying raccoons on the off chance it’ll be relevant to defeating Sandra at some point.

As if we all didn’t have one 😉

Zoey and Sandra have a loooong history of rivalry and being frenemies.
Actually I’m a bit disappointed that Sandra didn’t expect this to happen.
Is she bluffing? Zoey seems to like Woo, so she might know a thing or two about raccoons so… I’m a bit worried about Sandra now. O_o

I think you can hope that she’ll win the racoon quiz, since there would be no suspense for the final round if Zoey had already lost for sure. Winning the overall duell? – I guess no. After the racoon quiz, the last competition will probably be something that their friends consider Zoey’s strong (or Sandra’s weak) spot, maybe high diving, but Sandra will pull herself together, overcome her fear and beat Zoey at it.
Or maybe we actually get to see some character growth when someone makes Zoey realize that it is rather stupid to bully Sandra on grounds of her being “the weird racoon girl” when she actually knows more about racoons than her and considers Woo to be super cute herself. But I guess that is quite unlikely to happen after that grim election defeat.
I’m more surprised YourFireShop.com is a real website.
@ KK:
You want this one. https://throwflame.com
Strangely, unless you live in Maryland or California they’re perfectly legal.

Whoops I failed at making the link @ Arcabato:
@ someguy:
Well I hope something so predictable doesn’t happen although since Sandra is the MC I guess the best I can hope for is a draw :I
Zoey hardly bullies Sandra tho. Like, literally all she’s done is call her a dork twice when Sandra was doing legitimately dorky things, giggle at a comment another classmate made (presumably about Sandra) and deliver a sick burn which was more in response to Sandra’s antagonism than anything else
@ HackneyedTrope:
Yup
You know, everyone is assuming that Zoey studied up on raccoons to show up Sandra, but that statement could be read another way.
What if Zoey studied up on raccoons, because she really likes raccoons, and the nerdy girl went and showed her up by actually going and getting one? Perhaps she’s telling Sandra that if she wants to be Zoey at HER subject, she better know her stuff.
Ha! ^_^ Okay, point for Zoey. Preparation for the final battle is essential.

You seem to forget the beginning of this arc and gloss over: Complaining that Sandra is even present (and phrasing it as if Sandra had to justify herself for annoying her with her presence), suggesting that Sandra is an eyesore, walking over Sandra and kick her in the head.
Bet it’s going to be something along the lines of Lily is now staying with her or something!

No, Smokey is my grandfather. He was the first of the family to decide that a government job and a house in the suburbs beat all Hell out of digging up grubs in the woods. The family has never looked back since. I should tell you about my Hollywood uncles some time . . .
@ someguy:
Sandra literally told Zoey to go away and not look at her. How else was Zoey supposed to respond without looking weak or losing face? Honestly, Sandra deserved that burn.
If the diving board part was being literal, Zoey would be in trouble with the lifeguard and Sandra would be in an ambulance with Cloud (deceased) while Larisa would be under arrest for crushing Cloud’s head. Sandra definitely wouldn’t be instead wondering how Zoey felt after the student election.

Well with the way webcomics (or comics in general) go, the election could’ve happened days ago.
Shouldn’t it be “After that short break”? since it just ended?
Wish I could say I called this, but this strip was out before I read the second to last one since I was away from the internet for a week, oh well.
Great job again Novil!
