History YMMV / SandraAndWoo

** Although with what she has seen of Larisa, Landon's religious mother has at least some justification for disliking Larisa and not wanting her son to see her...but then she sees her son with a painting given to him by Larisa for his birthday that she does not like, and proceeds to deliberately destroy the painting and threaten to ''beat'' her son if he ever sees Larisa again. [[spoiler:She apparently backs down on this after Michelle tells her that Landon was actually gay until he began dating Larisa, and the next thing we knew about her was that she and Landon's father got a divorce and Landon no longer lives with her.]]

** Though already harsh on its own, Zoey getting [[spoiler:rejected by Michelle]] becomes a lot worse when [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/comics/2018-08-23-1015-time-out.png this strip]] was revealed.

** Did Sandra already know about Laria's [[spoiler:Wolfram syndrome]]? She doesn't seem that surprised when Larisa brings it up, and Larisa doesn't seem like the type to keep something so important from a close friend.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/09/24/0097-raccoon-hug/ This]] strip, which isn't as funny when you realize that Woo hasn't appeared as much since Sandra and Cloud became a couple. However, Sandra still likes being with Woo and spends time with him, so it isn't as terrible. And even after they became a couple, Sandra is still most often seen with Woo than with Cloud.

** [[spoiler: When Michelle rejected Zoey's affections after her sudden kiss]], was her reaction just trying to remain calm and in control of the situation, or was she just ''painfully'' [[spoiler: ObliviousToLove]]?

** [[spoiler: Michelle's huge OhCrap face at the end of Zoey's arc, has spawned quite a few theories from Zoey being a ClosetKey, to Michelle becoming a HeteronormativeCrusader. But judging by the later strips (using the homophobia of Landon's mom to get her to allow Landon dating Larisa), she was most likely shocked of how she hurt her friend's feelings. It is also an educated guess that she apologized to her.]]

** A number of readers have stopped following the comic due to feeling that the political references and humor of certain strips just don’t work (fairly understandable since many date back to 2009). Early criticisms of the comic being "too political" were "addressed" in [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/11/09/0110-pie/ this strip]]. Not helping matters is the fact that some of their political jokes come off as [[ShallowParody rather surface-level and/or inaccurate]].

** The gradual decrease of focus in the title characters, who often don’t appear together in the same strip anymore.

** Larisa's words in [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2012/10/08/0418-the-test-vii/ this strip]]: "Because we live in a hostile world that's run by a [[GodIsEvil merciless God]]. "The Divine Comedy" arc shows just ''how'' merciless this God is: Thomas J. God is willing to [[spoiler: kill Sandra ForTheEvulz and turn Cloud into a criminal mastermind. Thank Jesus that Odin killed Thomas... Thomas' replacememt, John, was no better, being killed by Fortuna for messing with Sandra's destiny (The Devil stated that, should Sandra survive Thomas, she'd become Fortuna's protegee).]]
** Though already harsh on its own, Zoey getting [[spoiler: rejected by Michelle]] becomes a lot worse when [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/comics/2018-08-23-1015-time-out.png this strip]] was revealed.
* HilariousInHindsight:

** [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2014/12/15/0642-roundabout-iv/ This strip]], as of ''Friendship is Magic's'' final episode, which hints at [[spoiler: Applejack and Rainbow Dash becoming a couple.]]

--> '''Ganesha''': "God's crossing all the lines again!"
* SeasonalRot:

** Landon's mom, Harriet, believed Larisa to actually be "a [[HornyDevils succubus]] that'll give birth to {{the antichrist}}". Fast forward to the Divine Comedy: Larisa makes a deal with the devil to save Sandra, and will become a succubus if she succeeds because it'll be a waste of her talents to be anything less than that. Jury's still out on the antichrist bit, though.

* {{Squick}}: Zoey writes fanfiction between herself and Sandra, one of her classmates that hey has only ever been shown to be neutral to antagonistic towards. Not to mention the stories she writes range from romantic to hardcore pornography.

* SeasonalRot: Touched upon in the post for [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2017/01/02/0848-the-divine-comedy-page-45/ this strip]], where Novil believes the comic hasn't gone stale at all since the start of the comic.

** The gradual decrease of focus in the title characters, who often don’t appear appear together in the same strip anymore.

* WhatAnIdiot:
** The principal for taking away Larisa's insulin shots. This is hammered home when she explains that she needs them to live, and the principal interprets this as dependency. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] when Larisa proceeds to repeatedly [[HeadDesk hit her head against the desk.]]
** Dominic in "The T Word". What do you say when your dad is caught by airport security carrying a squirrel in his luggage (albeit by accident?) Why, claim that it's a TERROR squirrel trained to attack, of course! *facepalm*
** Dorothy [[TheUnfairSex practising sexism towards the male students]] in the school is this. Potential for lawsuits and losing her job aside ''(which adds to the principal's own score for hiring her and allowing her shenanigans to take effect despite this to begin with,)'' consider one of the students she had purposely screwed over. As many of the comments pointed out [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2014/07/17/0599-question-3-2/#comments here]], consider who his [[ActionMom mother]] is. [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2014/07/28/0602-career-opportunities/ Sure]] [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2014/07/31/0603-puff/ enough]]....

*** And talking about her virginity, she could just lie about it after she'd lose it to Landon after he'd become "ready".

* {{Woolseyism}}: After comparing the German and English text, it is safe to assume, that most, if not all of the text is written initially in English and then translated into German (sometimes the cultural references, slang, and word plays can be translated, sometimes not (both the ones in the text or sometimes even those drawn ones).

Early criticisms of the comic being "too political" were "addressed" in [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/11/09/0110-pie/ this strip]]. It's not helped because the authors often attempt to mock American politics without appearing to actually understand it, like in a 2020 arc about the UsefulNotes/BlackLivesMatterMovement that complained about the protests while [[ShallowParody entirely missing the context]] of why there were such widespread protests in the first place (that being the highly televised death of African American George Floyd at the hands of white police officers) and instead featured Ye Thuza threatening protestors because she was annoyed/mildly inconvenienced by them.

** Michelle as well has garnered a fanbase, most likely helped by [[spoiler:her pulling a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome to help along Larisa and Landon's relationship]].

* FoeYay: It didn't take long for people to start shipping Richard and Melody, despite the fact that every single interaction between them has been hostile.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: As time passes, more details of this world become clear. While they are rather tame, [[MST3KMantra if you don't]] [[FridgeHorror think too much about it]], the world is fairly realistic when not using RuleOfFunny, with all [[DarkerAndEdgier the things]] that entails. Half the stuff Larisa does is TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior and she's an avid {{pyro maniac}}. You tend to love her for the last part.

* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: '''Actions have consequences.''' Larisa didn't heed this when she [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2015/08/24/0712-send-to-all/ accidentally sent nude photos of herself to everyone on Snappic]] ''(she intended to send them to her boyfriend, Landon)'', and although she tried to [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2015/09/03/0715-larisa-learnt-a-thing/ brush]] [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2015/09/10/0717-dropping-the-bomb/ this]] [[ComicallyMissingThePoint off]] as she seems to do whenever she gets into trouble, she soon learns from her school psychologist that, because of her actions, many innocent people have been arrested. If there are any other lessons to be learned, it's that you ''always'' take the time to learn about what programs you're installing onto your system before using them, and, more importantly, to ''think twice before you post something on social media.''
** Also did the same to American criminal justice system, interest of privatized prisons, and the overreaction to pedophilia doing more harm than good; all of which are connected to each other for the benefit of Prison-Industrial Complex. Even the story ended with [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Goldman Sachs]] having to lobby to [[EvenEvilHasStandards get 47 million Snippic users general amnesty to prevent economic disaster]] except for [[TearJerker a real-life whistleblower who leaked CIA documents]]. Considering that America has the highest incarceration rates in the world, this is something to not to be subtle about.
