- Larisa: And the first discipline will be…
- Zoey: High diving!
- Sandra: A quiz about raccoons!
- Larisa: No… water polo!
- Sandra: Water polo?
- Larisa: Yes. And Taylor will serve as referee.
- Taylor: Referee, jury and executioner!
- Larisa: I don’t think a game of water polo needs an executioner.
- Taylor: We’ll see about that…

Either there’s something wrong with the comments or I am actually the first to comment this.
Is this a one-on-one thing or a team game? Because it would seem to be a team game since water polo would have a goalie. That would be 4 players at least, 6 if each team gets the main forward (Sandra and Zoey) and an assistant linebacker. (Cloud and one of Luna’s boys?) I’m we’ll get answers on that, I’m just wondering who would get shot with Cloud’s ice-water water-gun and why.
I like how the first time Taylor speaks in this story, it gives Larisa of all people cause for concern.

One-on-one.
Is Taylor a Judge Dredd fan then?
Do you play water polo on sea horses?
Oh wait, it’s just handball while swimming, isn’t it?
For some reason Taylor makes me think of Nanao Ise of Bleach.
Probably the glasses and serious look.
Hey, Novil, in four months and five days it’ll be your Ten Year Anniversary! I’ve been around for two years, don’t comment much, but i didn’t realise this comic was that old!
@ Thisguy:
Like Nanao Ise, Mari Makinami, Homura Akemi, etc; she’s quite strong into the Meganekko trope.
I see that Taylor has been taking tips from Kim Jong Un 😉
@ Brijeka Vervix:
Or she’s a (input unfavoured political persuasion here).
They have a “sudden death” provision in water polo?
(For the record, I know almost nothing about water polo.)
Taylor is the chaotic neutral we didn’t know we needed.
Priceless…
@ luck out:
It will also soon be 1000 strips of the comics… Putting Novil beyond most comics out there.
Hope to toast for next thousand…,

Even if you want to disparage both/all political positions equally, they tend to have their own unique flavors of being awful. By associating an unfavorable political party with unnecessary executions, for example, you’re already leaning toward her being conservative.
Wow. Having a boyfriend has really mellowed Larissa. Water polo instead of flamethrowers? The mind reels!
@ demarion:
Water Polo is round 1, round 2 is also water polo, but with flamethrowers
@ demarion:
Who said there wouldn’t be flamethrowers? #greekfireflamethrowers
Should we Dredd Taylor?
@ demarion Raccoons may be acceptable as really furry legtumors, but flamethrowers are right out!
It seems Taylor is still DFC.
Good to see everbody developing at their own pace.
And meanwhile…
Butterfly is BACK!

@ MidoriLuna:
Yep, that’s the tropes. Thanks 🙂
And just like that, Taylor is my favorite of the cast.

I don’t recall Taylor ever showing up before. Is she a Anglo version of Ye Thuza?
My mistake. I went back and checked. She is eminently qualified to act as judge, jury and executioner. This will be interesting . . .
As a water polo player myself I can indeed confirm the presence of executions although it is usually the players who act as the executioners.
@ AnotherBear:
She was in the student election arc running for student rep against Sandra and Zoey
*Taylor fixing her glasses*… this ought to be good!
Wait, hang on, Larissa advocating a water sport? Being beat at her own game hit her harder than I thought
@ Frank:
Or she plans to have them get so competitive they lose their tops.

Now if only 1-on-1s were more like schoolyard handball while swimming. Seriously. That other handball is pretty lame. Doesn’t matter how athletic it is. It looks stupid.
With the 1,000th Sandra and Woo comic coming up in just three comics, it’s worth wondering how will this contest fit in with whatever Powree and Oliver has planned.
Larisa is so… reasonable nowadays.
…realizes that 997 is his countrys police number…looks at Taylor again…
NO WAY!!!

That’s probably not going to happen on account of Zoey wearing a bathingsuit.
Sandra, that’s cause she’ll be judging the EXECUTION of your moves, not the results.
