- Sandra: It was okay.

*Looks at the calendar.
Now I realize why the band arc turned to this direction.
Is this when we get a call-back to the joke about tongue technique?
… huh. I was going to say “I really hope we get confirmation that they’re getting older, because afaik they’re still only 12, which gets into edgy territory”, except… this *isn’t* any more adult than anything that’s gone on between Sandra and Cloud. Hell, it’s rather less so, to be honest. Dear godcat, society’s homophobic conditioning is subtle.
In other news, glad to see that Sandra’s able to take the initiative with Zoe at times. It’s important for there to be back-and-forth within a relationship. Hope the three of them can make it work.
😳
Thought Cloud was meant to be there too lol at this rate I see Cloud getting jelouse and them splitting up or hooking up with Larisa lol

Cloud and Larissa are there, but not visible in this strip.
I have waited very long for this (^v^)
“Thumb drive” over “USB stick” would increase the pun rate slightly…
I see Novil has been paying attention to page views statistics… 😏

-> That didn’t age well 😉
I still suspect that there will be some twist
In other news:
What are we going to do about new antagonists for the story? I mean, if Zoey and Sandra don’t start hating each other again for some reason – I suspect they will – we need new opposition.
Wait. Was this all a lead up into a Pride thing? Well played.
Aaaand wait for the inevitable all-a-dream cliche

Where is the poll option “I don’t feel strongly either way”?
Sorry, but some of us were just born with a heart full of neutrality ^^

Oh, gee… Spoiler alert?! 🙄
@ Greedo:
Well played, indeed.

This.
I really hope this is some kind if dream or some twist because after all this time I refuse to believe that Sandra is bi
@ Surname:
While Novil is no stranger to twists and/or dreams, it’s hardly unrealistic for Sandra to figure out that she’s bi. This is not easy stuff and people come to it at different times. She might be bi, she might be intrigued enough to experiment but decide she’s not. Kudos to Novil for taking on a challenging topic.
That was 8 years ago! And I didn’t say that I would never do it.
I see we’re going back to our roots, huh? Can’t wait to see how this turns out.

Yeah on one hand, I like this, on the other hand, Zoey was the comics main antagonist for…holy shit, 14 years? What happened to my life?
Novil wrote:
Aaaaaand now you’re also guilty for writing her name with a double S.
Looks like Sandra is wearing stockings in the first panel. Are those from comic 890?
So, when do we get to see the contents of the USB stick?
At least the ones that Sandra approve of?
Novil wrote:
Wow, it’s already running really long. Congratulations to such a long running webcomic.
@ Arent:
I don’t know, but my gut says maybe.

Eh? It’s 2nd June, what does that have to do with anything? I doubt this is related to the Platinum Jubilee in the UK, but I’m struggling to find anything else significant going on date wise.
@ Owen Smith:
June 2nd is also Pride Day

What makes a man turn neutral? Lust for gold? Power?
I really wonder what that stuff on the USB drive might have been. Cocaine?
*squint eyes*
She didn’t LICK it, she LIKED it.
I like the nervous look on Zoey in that first panel. Not overdone, no stuttering or anything, just letting you know her jitters are still firmly in place.
@ Mimi-Siku:
They do look like stockings, don’t they. I think I approve of the idea considering the arc. 🙂
When I scrolled back up to look, I could not find any hint of stockings. They I realized I needed to scroll up -one- more click of the wheel. The thin line at the top of the pop-up was just solid enough to look like the bottom edge of the panel-box. 🙂 (Notice that pop-up box has gotten noticeably taller lately. Grrr.. 🙁
@ Arent:
Welll… I won’t _object_ to new “bad guys…” I’ve always had a kinda-sorta like/dislike opinion of Zoey. 🙂
D’aawwwh, Zoey finally has someone to smooch with~ ^^
Not much beating around the bush in this comic these days. I mean, this is quite unlike the long build-up and drama that lead to Sandra and Cloud hooking up. Now we’ve instead got Sandra and Zoey exploring their relationship and taking it to the next level within just a few weeks of them first balling around with the possibility of doing so.
Personally, I’m not sure we even need an antagonist in this comic aside from one-offs. I mean, Zoey wasn’t exactly a super active one to begin with, and ever since the start of the comic she’s been portrayed as a kind-of pitiable victim to Larisa’s counter-bullying… I’ve also personally had a hard time considering her an outright antagonist ever since her coming-out arc (which was almost 9 years ago): The moment she said “maybe we should stop doing horrible things to each other” she became an on-off rival or frienemy at worst in my eyes…
Well, “that’s escalated quickly” 🙂
@ Surname:
At this point I’m hoping it’s not a dream. I was the one screaming: We’re being trolled! If the payoff is Sandra figuring out her sexuality. I’m on board.
We got a dike who’s totally into Sandra, Larissa who clearly swings both ways, and Cloud who is totally looking forward to a foursome.
There is a point where we needed to stop and we have clearly passed it. BUT LET’S KEEP GOING AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
I don’t know what to say to this, but I like it. It’s not some sort of sex thing, as some would assume with people kissing. Action is action, and you cannot go bravely into your day if you avoid every confrontation. It’s not like Sandra or Zoey were lining up people of bad character for it.
We do need to keep in mind that Sandra has always been, uh, romantically assertive. [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2011/12/22/0336-the-poem-iv/]] So her grabbing Zoey by the lapels should come as no surprise.
As I understand it, Sandra loves Cloud, but she wants to enjoy carnal love with someone else. And everyone’s fine with that. Or is this still Novil’s revenge?
@ HackneyedTrope:
At age 12 I had slept with a girl who was 11. (About 25 years ago)
A mAke out threesome isn’t something I’d consider unrealistic
Will Sandra finally be wearing that lingerie that Cloud got her?
Plot twist – They turn Zoey Bi instead.
@ Anon:
I’m not sure we as a people are allowed to use dyke anymore. When I grew up it was offensive.
@ Greedo:
I have no idea, but Alison Bechdel’s famous ‘Dykes To Watch Out For’ seemed okay with the term.
Arent wrote:
If I don’t make it, tell my wife “hello.”
@ Anon:
Zoey is not a dike.
Is Sandra Bi-sexual?
You know, I can’t shake the feeling this is all a dream.
Who is the dreamer?
