- Sandy South: Our readers suggested 116 different escape plans, but they all missed the most obvious one!
- John Oliver: Come on, it’s 2020!
- Guard: Let’s go! Ka wahine ’ai honua is getting impatient!
- Guard: What are you waiting for? Jump!

- Guard: What?

A fraud in the election of victim?
Can’t risk Ka Wahine Ai hohua catching Covid-19?
Aliens?
I came up with two solutions.
1. translate the following joke into the native’s tongue:
Wenn ist das Nunstück git und Slotermeyer? Ja! Beiherhund das Oder die Flipperwaldt gersput!
2. if that fails, bribe Powree into ignoring Oliver’s joke, assuming that is that Oliver hasn’t died from hearing the funniest joke in the world.
@ AndyB:
Oops. Bribe Powree into ignoring Oliver’s script.
My guess is that some people in the area rebel and help them?
You know just to reaffirm that there are good people on the island (world)?
“I DON’T WANT TOOOOO!!!
Guys….guys…its 2020…there’s a volcano…boom.
This “anti-sjw” right wing culture war storyline is getting really tiresome.
@ AndyB:
Concerning the fatal joke: have you ever tried to use the Google translator to translate it back to English? If not, it is a small but amusing surprise.
Is it because of one of the main stated reasons that North Sentinel is isolated by law, to wit, to protect the natives from introduced diseases to which they would have absolutely no resistance at all? Is Sandra carrying a certain ailment?
…where did they find raccoon-sized handcuffs?
Also, I’m expecting a “Joe vs the Volcano” homage.
They bought Woo eater of volcano gods to another volcano

I’m opposed to Anti-SJW, but I’d honestly just settle for the strip easing up on the cynicism if possible for some material of the uplifting variety (earnest mind you).
The way the text is cut off it looks like they’re chanting “Kawahine-Kawaii”
What could that be? It’s 2020. If it’s a volcano, then why hasn’t it erupted?
Is it a panorama view of “
Somepeople just want to watch the world burn” weltsmertz? Is it Larissa having a beach day in a vat of (slightly wet) ashes beside her burn pile? Is it a stockpile of unused disasters? (is it Germans burning a huge pile of various-nations banknotes that were redeemed and retired due to the Euro?) or soccer merchandise for the 2020 Olympics?Will Sandra be saved by hoverboard?
@ Booyahman:
1- it’s a volcano goddess. 2- She’s a woman. In both cases, the best course is to flatter her.
What? is she gonna infect the entier tribe with Covid so they die?
You can’t kill the main characters!
You’re putting your OWN life in danger!
Objection! If 118 people missed the “most obvious one”, it wasn’t actually obvious!
@ AndyB:
Die Flipperwaldt gersput!
*Laughs like Woody Woodpecker and dies*
Is it just me or the indigenes are taking their speech out of “He Mele No Lilo” hawaïan lyrics from Lilo and Stich movie…
‘…you can’t die in adventure games.’

@ Seshephe:
…and yet, you keep reading it….
Look behind you, a three headed monkey!
“I’m sorry but you clearly overlooked one crucial aspect…”
Woo is not a virgin. Nothing angers a volcano god more than a non-virgin sacrifice.
…I’m not left-handed.
That said, what’s anti-sjw about this strip?
You missed the Opportunity to make it “Its the Current Years!” instead for some extra ridicule
Volcano, he no want da waheni. He want da fi-seven!
Is that John Oliver Knörzer in the second panel?
So we literally get a cliff-hanger for the weekend. Shades of Buck Rodgers.
@ Ratfox:
Everything that is not pro sjw is anti sjw.
Because that’s how extremists see life. If you aren’t actively supporting them, you must be against them.
Honesty is the evil power that oppresses the people smoking in my non-smoking building, poisoning my infant daughter, by not enforcing the rules already in place due to the color of my skin versus the color of theirs…
Wait
Whose side am I on? Who is actually being oppressed here?
I wish people would read their contracts. Now I am stuck, obeying the rules, while my 1 month old coughs and cries and my neighbors yell and squeal and laugh and skunk away with the fire alarms blaring.
But hey, their skin is different from mine, I must shut up and they must be free to kill my daughter.
…has absolutely no idea what “sjw” stands for; isn’t sure he really cares. 😉 It’s just another comic strip!
I’m not into Oliver’s anti-so-called-“SJW” strips either (though ever since the “substitute teacher” arc I’ve kept silent about it here, since it’s his comic and he clearly isn’t going to change his mind on such topics). But I don’t see how the current arc is even remotely anti-so-called-“SJW.” It’s just goofy fun. If the Sentinelese were portrayed in “blackface” style, spoke in “minstrel show” or “caveman” dialect, or some such, then yeah, I’d agree. But that’s not what’s going on here.
@ roguebfl:
Is it a different volcano, or the same one?
I think the “obvious clue” is that this is 2020: everything goes wrong. So the way to emerge unscathed from this predicament is to try to commit suicide by throwing yourself into the volcano! If Sandra tries that, she’ll suddenly find herself at home, safe and sound. (It’s like Arthur Dent learning how to fly: Throw yourself at the ground … and miss.)
Larisa hoarded the world supply of lava.

Force of habit

Honestly I get this vibe from most of the strips from 2018-2020:-(. Still find some straps funny and oddly this year we got some pages a bit lighter.
I’m just wondering if Novil is just taking setback and trying to laugh at them or trying to convince everyone to have a defeatist attitude.
I don’t get it. I thought the whole point of that exercise from the previous, of sending some lewd photo to Cloud was to induce him to say something to earn a slap from her, obliging her to disregard physics and reach across time and space to apply the palm of her hand to his leering, grinning face… and then just accompany it back. Why didn’t she just do THAT?
Actually, the solution just occurred to me. Save the game, press Escape or otherwise call up the menu, and quit the game. Works for me.
Female privilege?

@ No one of consequence: Thank you for that, I needed it today
@ PhilippeM:
If I’m not mistaken, Kawahine-kawaii” is Japanese for “coffee princess! Cute!”
@ Iron Ed:
Social Justice Warrior, the people who make everything about some group being opressed by some other group (sometimes they’re right but most of the time it’s a way to say “you’re making a mountain out of a molehill”)
What would happen if they threw in one of Hitomi’s cakes? (Sacrilege, I know, but desperate times and all that.)
I think the documents that Larisa thrown to fire were for Tzeentch. Most voted for Nyarlathotep, because he is cooler, combining the cool sides of Tzeentch an Khorne.
And now, Nyarlathotep started the application of his program.
@ Frank:
Thanks, Frank!
I can’t think of the “obvious” solution.
Frank wrote:
Nope. “Coffee” would be “koohii”, “princess” would be “hiMe”. “Kawa”, depending on the writing, can mean “river”, “skin”/”peel” or “leather”, and I don’t know any “hine” yet.
… OK, but we’re past the 14th now …
That they are inside a cartoon, with an all powerful cartoonist controlling the panels?
Is it just something as simple as using the 4th wall? Declaring that these days there’s no way they can be allowed to kill a child in a comic meant for all ages?
It’s the only thing I could think of that, if someone else guessed it, I didn’t see.
Cyberpunk, of course…
