History WebComic / SandraAndWoo

* ActionMom: Cloud's mom Ye Thuza is not only a loving mother and housewife, but also an urban ninja who single handily nails a tonberry (a dangerous monster in the FinalFantasy series) to a concrete wall with a wooden staff. Not to mention she's also a former ChildSoldier.
** Possibly a {{Deconstruction}} of the tropes. While certainly not a bad mom, her rebel experiences have left her [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/04/15/0155-rebel-heart/ "still somewhat messed up".]]

* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/09/20/0201-eating-out/ The best kind.]] Also see ShipperOnDeck. Ye Thuza is awesome.

* AnimeHair: Averted for characters not named Cloud, who has an IdiotHair and [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/12/21/0122-random-encounter/ this]]...

* BadLiar: Averted with Sandra. She's a surprisingly '''good''' one. She also can do it with minimal preparation.
* BerserkButton: Coming off as a threat to Sandra's relationship with Cloud is unwise.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: When the "hand of god" replaces Woo with Tom the talking toast, Sandra first [[spoiler: eats the toast]]. Then she makes the hand [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2012/01/30/0346-the-contender-iv/ an offer it cannot refuse]].

* CovertPervert: Sandra. [[{{Adorkable}} Cloud]] is quite surprised to learn that [[AllWomenAreLustful "girls have naughty thoughts too."]]

* CuteButTroubled: Larisa

*** The cast page directly states Sandra as a 12-year old.

* TheBible: Subverted, Oh No! Not the apple. Oh, [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2008/12/18/0017-the-forbidden-fruit/ the snake is fine.]]
* BigNo: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2012/03/01/0355-consequences/ Richard here]].

* EvilPoacher: "She makes [[LooneyTunes Elmer Fudd]] look like an animal rights activist."

** Several characters have been seen watching ''WallaceAndGromit'' and ''[[WesternAnimation/{{WALL-E}} Wall-e]]'' as well.

* GiveGeeksAChance: Larissa [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2011/10/27/0320-honest-relationship/ starts going out with]] [[{{Adorkable}} Landon]] after he helps her get a B- on a math quiz (Note that her affections come about more because he was the only one kind enough to actually help her, instead of just lusting after her but unwilling to help her like everyone - except Cloud - does, than simply because she got a good grade - i.e. he treated her like an actual PERSON rather than just a hot babe).

** [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2012/07/12/0393-the-curse-of-12-year-old-boys/ Confirmed for Cloud]].

* MoodWhiplash: Particularly where [[ChildSoldier Ye Thuza]] is concerned. Also, the last strip of the "insulin" storyline, when Larisa [[spoiler:sneaks off to take some kind of pill]].

** And the GeniusBonus comic that required programming knowledge, understanding of a foreign language, extensive knowledge of the comic's history and comments and solving several word puzzles to figure out? [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2012/01/03/0338-a-challenging-comic-solution/ All for a zinger]] at newspaper comic ''{{Marvin}}''.

!! ''Sandra and Woo'' provides examples of:

* InnocentInnuendo: Brutally {{subverted}}. After a recent adventure, Lily suggests Woo relax with "eating, sleeping and...cuddling". When they get to the "cuddling" strip, they show a tree and make it sound like Woo's having difficulty. [[spoiler: The comic shows they're playing billiards. But then comes [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2011/09/05/0305-cuddling/ this:]]]]

* NotAllowedToGrowUp: Surprisingly {{Averted}}. Granted, all the main characters have {{Vague Age}}s, but through a series of conscious {{Art Evolution}}s on the part of the author, the kids have progressively grown older. Compare the [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2008/10/27/homesickness/ one of the first strips]] to [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2011/07/25/0293-homecoming-i/ one of the most recent]]. Take special note of Sandra's size compared to Richard's.

* AlphaBitch: Zoey and her best friend Michelle.
* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/09/20/0201-eating-out/ The best kind.]] Also see ShipperOnDeck. Ye Thuza is awesome.
* AmusingInjuries: Common

* AnimeHair: Averted for characters not named Cloud, who has an IdiotHair and [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/12/21/0122-random-encounter/ this]]...

** While hungry, Woo found a sole apple guarded by a snake, [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2008/12/18/0017-the-forbidden-fruit/ he prefers to eat the snake]], talk about BadAss.

*** They were doing more than kissing...
** also played with in FirstKiss above: Sandra and Cloud are kissing, ''Larisa'' is in the tree.

* LimitedWardrobe: Averted: the characters obviously wear the same clothes when comics takes place sequentially, and change to hint a new day happens.
* YouFailLogicForever: How is taking food about to be given to a hungry fox ''not'' your fault when said fox angrily chases you?
** Videogame characters will soon be indistinguishable from real life, therefore, we are video game characters.

* MadnessMantra: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/08/03/0082-good-news-everyone/ Can't trap them, raccoon will shoot me! Can't trap them, raccoon will shoot me!]]

* MoneySpider: Lampshaded.

* NeverLiveItDown: [[invoked]] One of Cloud's fears regarding a love [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2011/12/22/0336-the-poem-iv/ letter]].

** Often wearing [[InspectorGadget Penny's]] shirt, no less.
** Several characters have been seen watching ''[[WallaceAndGromit Wallace and Gromit]]'' and ''[[WallE Wall-e]]'' as well.

* TheUnreveal: We never find out what Cloud wrote that caused Sandra to pounce on him, remove half his clothes, and beg him to marry her.

* CarnivoreConfusion: Woo is friendly with Shadow, a fox, and Sid, a squirrel. They regularly try to eat each other, but as the tagline says, fail.
** This doesn't stop Woo and Shadow from eating ''other'' woodland creatures, ''successfully.''
*** While hungry, Woo found a sole apple guarded by a snake, [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2008/12/18/0017-the-forbidden-fruit/ he prefers to eat the snake]], talk about BadAss.

** Probably not an intentional one, but Sandra could be a dead ringer for [[Game/MegaMan Roll]].

* RousingSpeech: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/02/02/0030-naypyidaw-sector-1/ Cloud to Sandra]], followed by HoldingHands, {{squee}}.

* ShoutOut: Frequently to ''CalvinAndHobbes'', and many more to video games, namely ''FinalFantasy''. A couple even named their two younger children Cloud and Yuna after the game.

*** Often wearing [[InspectorGadget Penny's]] shirt, no less.

* StuffedIntoATrashcan: Done to Ralph by Cloud. It was a ShoutOut to Webcomic/OzyAndMillie where the trope was commonly abused by JerkJock, Jeremy.

* TakeThat: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2012/01/05/0339-little-red-riding-pony/ In regards]] to the ShowAccuracyToyAccuracy of WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic merchandise.

* TalkingAnimal: Woo, Shadow, Sid and all other animals. (see AnimalTalk above)

* TheyFightCrime: Cloud's family spends one [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/07/12/0181-pussy/ arc]] doing this in superhero garb.

* TroublingUnchildlikeBehaviour: Larisa carries a lighter just to set random fires, jokes about being a "junkie" when she injects insulin, accuses a teacher of molesting her to get out of a homework assignment (and has to be warned against molesting her guide on the camping trip), and [[FilleFatale flirts with the boys]] at an... adult level. Apparently, ''all'' the girls have been warned about her. [[spoiler:Suggestions that she's got [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/01/04/0126-secrets/ bigger problems than diabetes]] [[LikeYouWereDying put this in a more disturbing light]].]]

'''This webcomic provides examples of:'''

* FridgeHorror: Shake your head when Larisa seems [[FilleFatale overly interested in boys]], among them Cloud. {{Squee}} when she anyway encourages Sandra and Cloud to be together. Then [[spoiler:[[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/01/04/0126-secrets/ find out]]]] about her [[LikeYouWereDying health status]].
