Now that’s a lovely jungle scenery in the last panel!
- Sandy South: Now that’s interesting!
- Qoo: Where are we going?
- Sandy South: To the book store. I’m on to something!
- Qoo: Wha–
- Qoo: Where are we?
- Sandy South: Looks like the culprit has connections to the highest levels of power!

Props to the culprit. They know just the people to bribe!
May Novil be the criminal mind again? Or only a crime pal?
Could he be a simple minion? In that case how high the lead head be?
We know that human god (both), the roots that every evil, was dead. Or not?
On one hand, this would be quite the entertaining arc if you’re in cahoots with the culprit that Mrs. South is after.
On the other hand, that jungle scenery is indeed absolutely gorgeous, and you’d be entirely justified if you just drew that to show off, and started the next page by unmaking it and drawing them back into town.
Wow, the title takes me back. I wonder which of them is Tex?
Is Novil ripping off Duck Amuck? If this comment gets deleted, yes.
Zoom out to see Zoey at a drafting table…
*Checks for suspicious boxes and crying goddesses.
There’s an art error in Panel 4, in relation to
WooQoo’s head.That one was a nice joke. I like it. I don’t mind the meaner jokes, but I guess this fits a story about a girl and her pet racoon better.
@ Chuck Jones:
An homage, not a rip-off. I also thought of it immediately. “Oh, it is to laff!”
Why does it look like Woo’s head consists of the front and back hemispheres, which have different textures? Or as if he’s literally wearing a mask.
This is a reference to the story that no one will mention about a certain candidate and his connections in the biased media. These connections escalated Middle East tensions after a payment was made by the then president. The only reason we see peace now is that every Middle East nation signed a treaty negotiated with the current president in fear of the paid nations’ future Nuclear Arsenal. I am being vague mimicking the media’s response.to these various stories. Everyone should be very afraid if this is the future we look forward to. A country where censorship for dissenting a opinions is the norm.
@ Disgruntled Republican:
These is supposed to be his as the post references multiple separate sets of connections.

Does S&W have political strips? Yes.
Is this a political strip? No.
It’s a fourth-wall joke about Novil doing crimes in-universe or being bribed by criminals in-universe. Whether or not that happens in current politics is not the point, and we don’t need people like you to make it the point.
@ Disgruntled Republican:
Sure they did.
An old-fashioned CRT monitor. Now, this is the way to set up a film noir ambience…
The moving finger can’t hold a candle to the moving pencil!

The heck are you talking about?
So is the zoey arc going to be continued?
@ Doodoodooduh:
According to author comments, Zoey’s story is on hold, but will continue eventually.
@ Chuck Jones:
I’d call it more of an homage than a ripoff. Just check the tags.
Is her computer 386? Because that is the last one I saw with such setup.
