This reminds me of those merchants who always have a store at the deepest part of the dungeon full of monsters, right before the final boss…
Three points.
1. I second Sandra’s thoughts.
2. I sincerely doubt that sign is in anyway correct.
3. That guys facial expression needs to be erased from reality. Its going to give me nightmares.
So does this mean Sandy South is doing First Contact tracing?
Somewhere verizon missed?! *Calls company: ‘YOU CAN’T SPAM ME NOW SUCKERS!’
The Sentelese are not exactly uncontacted, but past contact have not been peaceful. And Sandy is now in violation of Indian law which bans visitors.
How well does the voodoo doll work? Which kind of snakes are there? When does South do the quicksand scene, and how many ‘strips will it take? Who’s the local Jungle King or Queen?
So Sandy South’s mysterious unseen adversary wanted her out of the way. And you have to admit, unless you’re going to drop someone in the middle of the Empty Quarter, there’s not anyplace else on Earth more “out of the way”.
More likely it’s a fake – I don’t think there’s a large English-speaking population on North Sentinel Island, and I don’t think anyone’s even sure they have the concept of a written language.
So once she reveals the fraud, Sandy South and Qoo go on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge and do a Scooby Reveal of the Big Bad?
Totally fake. Not last. Not uncontacted (they react quite aggressive to outsiders *because* they were contacted in the past – well, maybe, no one knows for certain why they’re aggressive, of course). And tourism would be a terrible business in a place that is illegal to visit.
P.S. Most uncontacted populations we know of (or suspect) live in Brazil, in the Amazon rain forest.
Still no explanation of why comment section of strip 1219 was closed ?
She probably also infected them with a disease that they have little to no resistance, thereby dooming them to death.
This guy has been training for this moment his entire life.
@ 627235:
I’m fairly sure Novil, whom longtime readers know loves to do research on a variety of subjects, is aware of all the facts you state. (Really, how else would he even be likely to have heard of the Sentelese in the first place?)
The joke is precisely that this Sentelese man is acting in a way opposite to the way his people do in real life. It’s like that gag from The Simpsons in which author Thomas Pynchon — in real life a notoriously reclusive and publicity-shunning author whose very face and real name remain unknown to the public — is portrayed as flagging down passers-by and encouraging them to take his picture (though he’s still wearing a paper-bag mask over his head).
@ Ratfox:
You unfortunately have to accept the fact that most JRPGs just are not very realistic.
@ PS2kid:
The comment section to the cheater cartoon is closed in a series of political cartoons because you know what will happen tomorrow right? The businesses in DC are already boarded up.
My only question is why does he have that “there’s no war on Ba Sing Se” face?

For political reason ? I found that strip #1221 is more political than #1219. Yet, #1221’s comment section is opened.
Archery contest ahead.
@ Netherdan:
Sandy South: Maybe, we should look around… like… behind this Tourist Information service!
Joo Dee-like guy: No, there’s no war on Ba Sing Se- I mean, there’s nothing behind this Tourist Information post!
Sandy South: Ok then. (walking in the opposite direction) So… there’d be no problem if I… ran to see it!
Dai Li: [Appears].
@ Eminent:
There are other uncontacted tribes, especially in the Amazon basin. The Sentinelese have been particularly insistent about isolating themselves.
