Sandra and Woo

Corrupting the youth (with fire) and Consequences (namely 47 million people charged with possession of child porn.

Ee... I'm really hoping this is not the last word, although it would fit with how this strip handles things.

I assume Alice Macher gets a No-Prize for that one.

So it seems Sandra has been told about it before.

And now we're on to hamfisted political comedy which is unfortunately a little too close to the truth in some ways.

I bet this guy would change discourse if arrested for being protest-sexted by the daughters of those he wants to imprison... Oh and the sons too, since he sounds like the type who'd rely on homophobic vote to get in office.

It is a pretty common thing, both in real life and in fiction, for people to assume that strict laws are good because they're for bad people, never realizing that it might apply to themselves.

Let's all hit the reset button!

I think I like this strip better when it's about childhood instead of about heavy-handed politics.

Yes, very much so.

Wow... I never would have found that were it not for hints and outright solutions in the comics.

And a joke about "sugar-free" food that includes more "natural" sugar than a comparable product with HFCS although a secondary joke could probably be made about rabbit mascots and raisins◊.

Just felt like mentioning, I went to this site on a whim and was really surprised. I thought this was basically an Animesque Calvin And Hobbes.

... just surprised.

It can be sometimes. And then the author will shove real world issues into it whereas Calvin and Hobbes is much more timeless and innocent.

Which isn't to say Calvin and Hobbes didn't use real world issues. The bit where they went to Mars because they were fed up with pollution on Earth comes to mind.

Of course, they still made for good comics even when you didn't know the issue in question. Such as the ones that were visual metaphors for his debates with his syndicate.

{nods} And I personally like Sandra and Woo even when it gets a bit political, as they generally still include a punchline. Compare it to something like Sinfest where the rant is sometimes all the punchline you get.

Sandra and Woo has been weak at times but it is nowhere near as bad as the magnificent trainwreck that Sinfest is.

I don't know, the line of people wanting to punch Ishida seems pretty long.

And I thought I'd escaped the Sinfest thread.

More cereal shenanigans and it looks like Sandra's dismay was primarily over dislike of raisins.

I still hold that adding raisins to a cereal with a rabbit mascot is kind of like advertising Honey Grahams now have "bear logs" of carob.

This city is doomed.

I find it bizarrely amusing that Woo is averting his eyes as Sandra changes.

Hmm... maybe Sandra and Cloud have been up to more than kissing. Not the latest comic, but the latest one I feel like commenting about.

I do sort of wonder if they're going to acknowledge the situation with Myanmar (Burma) and its steps toward democracy given Cloud's mother's origin.

So, Novil is hiring.

A paid "TV Tropes article improver" for one's own work? Not sure that's such a good idea. Is this something the admins should be made aware of? Or should we let it lie? Thoughts?

I'd say just watchlist it and correct anything out of place. The YMMV page may need special attention, though.

Genre Savvy or just crazy? You decide!

Eh, it's not something that's full-time and it's basically doing things like fixing the broken links and improving readability. I'm sure there are people hired to do similar things on Wikipedia for many works.

I only just noticed, the transcripts uses Sandra and Woo's in-make-believe names of Sandy South and Qoo.
