3''A webcomic of comedy, romance, adventure, and raccoon propaganda.''
4
5''[[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/ Sandra and Woo]]'' is an English and German-language LongRunner webcomic written by Oliver "Novil" Knörzer and illustrated by Powree, about the adventures of middle-schooler Sandra North [[ABoyAndHisX and her]] pet [[TalkingAnimal talking raccoon]], Woo. It's drawn in an {{Animesque}} style with some Western comic stylizations, and makes up of mostly unconnected story arcs. Imagine ''ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes'' aged up a few years, [[JustForFun/XMeetsY crossed with]] ''Series/{{iCarly}}'', and with some more serious plot threads.
6
7The story mostly focuses on Sandra and Woo's misadventures but will also focus on one of Sandra's two best friends, Cloud and Larisa, or Woo's adventures with his woodland friends, Shadow the fox and Sid the squirrel.

11A video game based on the comic, ''[[http://thecursedadventure.com Sandra and Woo in the Cursed Adventure]]'', was released on May 5, 2017 and is available on Steam.
12
13As of [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2022/11/26/1339-practice-makes-perfect/ strip 1339]], published on November 25, 2022 (following a ScheduleSlip of over four months, which had not happened in all of the comic's history), the comic went on hiatus, with Novil stating that strip is the last one illustrated by Powree and has no plans to hire a new artist. The strip returned on [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2023/08/12/1340-mh370-until-proven-otherwise/ August 12, 2023.]]

15----
16!!''Sandra and Woo'' contains examples of:
17
18* TwentyBearAsses: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/01/14/0129-love-is-ten-ogre-heads/ Discussed]].
19-->'''Cloud:''' Hmm, any suggestions how [[IHaveThisFriend they]] could improve their rank?\
20'''Sandra:''' Rumor has it that they're able to climb several places by giving Sandra an apology kiss.\
21'''Cloud:''' I see. But is that worth yet another cootie infection? They'd certainly prefer to bring you ten ogre heads or something…
22* AbortedArc: In the comments for the January 2010 strip about Larisa's secret, Novil stated that he was writing the concept of an arc about Larisa's backstory, and that he planned on publishing it by fall 2011. That date came and went without any arc, and the plot of Larisa's secret would not be revisited until November 2013. At that time, Novil [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2013/11/16/about-ads-posters-and-larisas-secret/ revealed]] that he dropped the arc because he eventually disliked it and considered it not being up to the quality of the comic. Larisa's secret was finally revealed in September 2015.
23* AerithAndBob: We have believable names like Sandra and Larisa, and then we have Woo and Cloud. {{Justified|Trope}} in that Woo is a pet and Cloud was named by [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Final Fantasy nerds]] and has a sister [[ThemeNaming named]] [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyX Yuna]].
24* AnimateInanimateObject: An infrequent RunningGag involves male characters' penises talking, usually when said male characters are aroused.
25* AfraidOfNeedles: Enough to attempt [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/10/19/0104-animal-abuse/ reporting]] a case of animal abuse.
26* AgeInappropriateDress: Larisa's dress while doing her [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/images/comics/2016-09-08-0819-the-divine-comedy-page-17-alternative.png "homework"]] in this strip. Age-inappropriate enough that an alternate version with more conservative attire was posted to the main page.
27* AlmostKiss: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/05/17/0165-kissus-interruptus/ Sandra and Cloud]] are ironically interrupted by two [[ShipperOnDeck Shippers on Deck]].
28* AndIMustScream: Larisa's answer to "Three things I wish upon my worst enemy" is "immobility, insomnia and immortality".
29* {{Animesque}}: The art style clearly borrows a lot from traditional manga, particularly with the large eyes and cute faces that many characters have.
30* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Or, at least, it is if [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2013/10/14/0519-zoey-michelle/ you're gay]] and [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2013/10/17/0520-zoey-michelle/ your interest isn't.]] [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2015/08/13/0709-pandering-to-the-audience/ Subverted later on, though]] (the canonicity of this scene is not established, though).
31* AllMenArePerverts: When Sandra starts reciprocating Zoey's feelings, she wants to make sure Cloud is okay with it first. [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2022/05/09/1332-sandra-cant-think-straight/ Sandra assumes as much based on this,]] [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2022/05/19/1333-spicing-it-up/ and is proven right.]]
32* AllThereInTheManual: Landon's parents are only named in the narrative below the comic, not in the comic itself
33* AlphaBitch: Zoey and her best friend Michelle.
34* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: Ye Thuza. She even joins her son's friends in making fun of him on occasion.
35* AmbiguouslyHuman: Armin Fish. As if his unusual facial features and PointyEars weren't enough, Woo bites off his hand very easily, resulting in a bloodless wound (in a comic where BloodlessCarnage is generally averted) and what looks like a StockFemurBone poking out of his wrist. Fish expresses [[MajorInjuryUnderreaction surprisingly little pain]], and Woo disgustedly spits his hand out, calling it "totally rotten". In the next strip, he's more angry than concerned or pained about losing his "favorite hand", and shows no signs of wanting medical attention.
36%%* AmusingInjuries: Common.
37* AnimalTalk: Woo and all other animals, including Woo's friends Shadow and Sid, speak the same language, but only Woo is able to communicate with humans. However, he's not talking to anyone but Sandra since he is afraid of [[TheyWouldCutYouUp ending up in a laboratory otherwise]].
38* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking:
39** Sandra and Cloud's favorite political slogan: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/11/19/0113-freedom-justice-cookies/ "Freedom! Justice! Cookies!"]].
40** [[spoiler:The Devil offers to turn Larisa into]] a [[SuccubiAndIncubi succubus]] who will "debauch innocent young men to a dissolute life full of sex, drugs and {{dubstep}}."
41* ArtEvolution: A slight progression over the years, with body proportions, mainly everyone looking taller and longer.
42* ArtInitiatesLife: Larisa's father had to destroy two of his paintings (depicting his daughter in poses of American and Russian patriotism), because they [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2014/12/22/0643-propaganda/ "became self-aware and began sending weapons of war to the Middle East"]].
43* AscendedToCarnivorism: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2012/04/26/0371-predator-prey-relationship/ Ruth]] the "level 5 carnivore" pine squirrel.
44* BabiesEverAfter: Woo and Lilly ''finally'' [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2015/05/28/0687-win/ had kits!]]
45* BadassFamily: '''''The Williams family'''''. The mom is an ex-ChildSoldier, the son is a trained swordsman and martial artist and the young daughter is a little MadScientist. Even David, TheTeamNormal, is badass by proxy for having all this people as family.
46* BadFuture: In 2037, the U.S is desolated thanks to the Great Fires caused by Larisa, who set every forest on fire just to [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2015/05/18/0684-smokeys-big-blunder/ prove Smokey wrong]].
47* BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: Woo's previous owner, Mr. Farley, treated him like complete shit. Thankfully, Richard was able to give the bastard some entirely deserved comeuppance.
48* BaitAndSwitchSentiment: When Sandra's HoldingHands [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/01/11/0128-the-most-precious-thing/ with Cloud]].
49-->'''Sandra:''' Because I've already found the most precious thing.\
50[Cloud smiles]\
51'''Sandra:''' Look, my missing favorite earrings! They were in a side pocket of my backpack.
52* BelligerentSexualTension: Between [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2015/04/20/0676-driving-home/ Richard and his new coworker, Melody, from the look of things]].
53* BerserkButton: Don't tease Sandra about her looks, even if you're her best friend, [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/02/15/0138-unfavorable-compliment/ talking pet raccoon]] or even her [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/02/11/0137-the-worst-of-all-possible-replies/ father]].
54* BettyAndVeronica: Sandra and Larisa, respectively, with Cloud as ComicBook/{{Archie|Comics}}. This is a case when the Archie chooses the Betty, as Cloud chooses Sandra.
55* BeyondTheImpossible: Larisa managed to ''[[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2015/02/09/0657-challenging-task/ set water]]'' '''''[[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2015/02/12/0658-sponsor/ on fire]]'''''.
56* BigBallOfViolence: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/01/14/0129-love-is-ten-ogre-heads/ Between Woo and a bunch of rats.]] Later on between Woo and Lily, though it was just play-fighting.
57* BigNo: When Armin Fish [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2012/03/01/0355-consequences/ threatens to cancel Richard's internet contract]] (which ''did'' involve [[BabyAsPayment giving up his firstborn child]]), Richard falls to his knees in horror when he realizes [[spoiler:he'll have to switch to [[TakeThat Comcast]]]].
58%%* BigNo:
59%%** [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2012/03/01/0355-consequences/ Richard here]].
60%%** Zoey provides [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2013/11/11/0527-one-of-us/ her own take]] mentally.
61* BlackHelicopter: A squad of [[BlackHelicopter Black Helicopter]]s [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2014/05/26/0584-law-abiding-citizen/ appeared for investigation, after Larisa (supposedly) tried to detonate a nuke]].
62%%* ABoyAndHisX: A girl and her raccoon. %% Add more context to describe their relationship and what effect it has on them.
63* BoysHaveCooties:
64** [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/08/17/0086-high-risk-of-infection/ Lampshaded]].
65** A [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2017/08/10/0910-insanity/ flashback]] to Sandra and Larisa's first meeting shows Sandra to have this reaction once they glimpse Cloud. Larisa is a bit more mature.
66* BreakingTheFourthWall: Characters sometimes show awareness of story arcs and that they're in a comic made by Novil, most commonly Sandra and Woo.
67** [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/11/05/0109-child-labor/ C'mon kid, do something funny]].
68** The text below [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/11/09/0110-pie/ this]] comic should give you an idea about the arc it's part of.
69** A strip [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2011/08/04/0296-sandra-and-woo-and-andy-warhol/ in tribute to Andy Warhol]] not only breaks the Fourth Wall, [[spoiler: it takes a bite out of it]].
70** [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/11/22/0219-a-short-history-of-newspaper-comic-strips/ THE WALLS ARE GETTING CLOSER!]]
71** [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/11/16/0112-the-physical-impossibility-of-falling-in-the-mind-of-someone-walking/ Woo wants to have a new writer]].
72** [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2015/01/22/0652-axed-scene/ Larisa]] [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou shatters the Fourth Wall with an axe]].
73** [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2015/03/30/0671-the-last-panel/ Sometimes writing comics is so difficult, even the 4th wall doesn't survive it!]]
74** It practically becomes a [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2020/11/26/1230-under-a-killer-balloon-into-darkness-page-11/ a]] [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2020/12/10/1232-under-a-killer-balloon-into-darkness-page-13/ plot]] [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2021/01/04/1235-under-a-killer-balloon-into-darkness-page-16/ point]] in one instance.
75* BringMyBrownPants: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/04/23/0053-the-joker/ Correction: I needed to go to the bathroom]].
76* BrokenRecord: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2020/06/29/1190-lava-moat/ upon getting hypnotized by the idea of making a lava moat]], [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2020/06/29/1190-lava-moat-2/ Larisa walks around repeatedly saying "lava moat," causing everyone around her to say "lava moat" as well]].
77* BrokenPedestal: [[ZigZaggingTrope Zig-Zagged.]] After being built up for several comics, it's revealed that Butterfly is [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2013/12/16/0537-the-manager/ terrified of climbing difficult obstacles]], seemingly getting ready to turn into this trope. However, it turns out that all Butterfly needs is a bit of encouragement from [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2014/01/20/0547-heroine/ Woo]], allowing her to get over her performance anxiety.
78* BullyingADragon: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/01/22/0027-major-mistake/ Ralph makes this mistake]] after being told by a schoolmate that he really, really should not bully Cloud, especially if Cloud is currently carrying a sword... or a plastic knife from the school cafeteria.
79* CardiovascularLove: A HeartSymbol is shown when Larisa is asking a girl if she's single, in [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2015/02/23/0661-order-of-merit/ [0661] Order Of Merit]].
80* TheCameo: 9 strips with [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2013/09/16/0511-a-visitor-from-england/ Sir James Eglamore]] from ''WebComic/GunnerkriggCourt''. Reynardine and Coyote, from the same comic, also show up, but much more briefly.
81* CarnivoreConfusion: Both averted and played straight. 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.''
82** Justified by the fact that Sid and Shadow were both [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2011/01/20/0238-hazel-runs-no-more/ orphaned]] by a woman running over their moms, and she brought the surviving babies to a [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2011/01/24/0239-runaway/ friend]] of hers who took care of them until they were old enough to survive in the [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2011/01/31/0241-released/ wild]] and Shadow asks Woo not to eat Sid.
83** 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.
84** Woo's reaction to catching a grey squirrel bullying the smaller and weaker Sid was to carry the squirrel off to Shadow and his family for dinner.
85* CasualKink: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2019/01/21/1052-core-memory/ Ye Thuza seems to have (at least) one]].
86* {{Catchphrase}}: Woo's "Woo!" What Woo is named after, and his common reaction to pleasant surprises.
87* CharacterBlog: Sandra has a [[https://www.youtube.com/user/SandyTheThird YouTube channel]], also going by her alter ego Sandy the Third, empress and supreme ruler of Northia, there.
88* ChildrenAreInnocent: Defied to the point of being a recurring moral. Larisa, in addition to being generally vindictive, is a pyromaniac, and one strip has her, confronted with sushi, casually pull out the lighter she carries to set fires and cook it. Cloud's mother is a former Shan ChildSoldier in Burma, and she frequently deals with relatives being menaced or killed by the SPCD.
89-->'''Larisa:''' [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/11/02/0108-moms-in-black/ Do you have any idea who’s wiping the memory of all those adults so that they completely forget all the stuff they did at our age?]]\
90'''Sandra:''' Must be the [[TheMenInBlack Moms in Black]].
91* CivilizedAnimal: In the forest, the animals act like humans, sitting down, talking to their neighbors (cross-species), and making complicated dwellings. Ruth the squirrel even hunts animals with [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2013/06/03/0487-psycho-squirrel/ a human pistol]] and has a vegetarian crisis after seeing her actions affect the lynx's children!
92* ClothingDamage: Woo leaps on Sandra at one point in a hyped-up state, and tears her clothes to shreds, leaving her in her panties. Much controversy in the comments box, under the circumstances....
93* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: If the C.I.A ever used [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2014/10/27/0628-the-west-identity-episode-1-page-6/ this CD]], they would have crossed the MoralEventHorizon.
94* CornerOfWoe: Woo [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2008/10/27/homesickness/ assumes this pose]] when Sandra brings him home.
95%%* CowTools: Parodied with [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/01/08/0023-coon-tools/ this]].
96* {{Crawl}}: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2012/02/09/0349-the-human-rights-situation-in-the-us/ Kim Jong-un wins pie-eating contest.]]
97* CreatorsCultureCarryover: Knörzer and Powree are German and Indonesian respectively, but most of S&W points to a U.S. setting.
98* CrossOver: Sir James Eglamore and the god Coyote from Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt have appeared in the comic, which seems to state the two comics take place in the same universe. Renard and Ysengrin are there with Coyote as well, according to the tags.
99%%* CrushBlush: Landon.
100* CurbStompBattle: Sandra and some of her friends lose a soccer game to a group of German girls 17-0.
101* DartboardOfHate: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/03/19/0043-the-rose-is-a-bullet/ This strip]] has a picture of Aung San Suu Kyi with multiple darts stuck in it in a Burmese prison.
102* DeadpanSnarker: Sandra, sometimes.
103* DealWithTheDevil:
104** Parodied in [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/06/25/0071-how-not-to-deal-with-the-devil/ this strip]] as Sandra accidentally sells her soul to the devil for a glass of lemonade.
105** The Devil tempts Larisa into selling her soul, in exchange for [[spoiler:saving Sandra's life from [[GodIsEvil a capricious God.]]]] When he tells her that her service in Hell would likely involve [[SuccubiAndIncubi becoming a succubus]], [[LovableSexManiac tempting innocent young men into a life of lust]], [[PyroManiac feeding the fires of hell until they engulf Elysium]], the Devil has to tell her to stop [[PervertedDrooling drooling]].
106* DeathByOriginStory: Sid's mother, Hazel. We hardly knew ye.
107* DeconstructiveParody: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2012/08/06/0400-the-early-sandra-catches-the-worm/ Of the eponymous duo.]]
108* DemonOfHumanOrigin: In the "Divine Comedy" arc, [[spoiler:Larisa sells her soul to the Devil, who says he'll make a succubus of her because anything else would be a waste of her talents]].
109* DenserAndWackier: The comic started with the only oddity being Woo's ability to talk to humans and his high intelligence. As the comic progressed, all animals were show to have human-like societies, supernatural deities appear with surprising regularity and Yuna's science experiments start reaching reality-warping levels. Storylines also became much more medium aware and generally less serious. Woo not talking to anyone outside of Sandra is basically TheArtifact.
110* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment:
111** '[[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2011/06/06/0279-special-attack-i/ Pain is painful]].'
112** '[[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2013/10/17/0520-zoey-michelle/ Only really gay lesbos]] kiss each other on the mouth. Keep that in mind'
113%%* DeusExMachina: As seen [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2014/10/30/0629-the-west-identity-episode-1-page-7/ here]].
114* DevilsJobOffer : The Devil has a special job in mind for [[spoiler:Larisa]]: he plans on making her a succubus, making it her job to tempt young mortal men with her feminine wiles. [[spoiler:Larisa signs up right away, as the deal also involves saving Sandra.]]
115* DiggingYourselfDeeper:
116** Larisa grumbling.
117--->'''Sandra:''' [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/06/07/0171-guilty-as-defended/ "Some people just shouldn't defend themselves."]]
118** Sandra does it to herself ''without even saying anything''. [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2012/07/26/0397-silence-is-silver/ Silence is not always golden]].
119* DinnerWithTheBoss: Sandra asks Woo to behave himself when her father's boss is over for dinner. Woo's idea of ideal raccoon behavior involves having sex with his girlfriend on the dining-room table while eating all the food there.
120* DirtyCoward: When Roger Brown found out that Tommy wanted him as a VirginSacrifice, he [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2015/11/09/0734-under-a-killer-balloon-the-cereal-killer-page-12/ tried to convince him to sacrifice Sandra instead]].
121* DontAsk: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2008/11/20/the-moment-of-dawning-comprehension/ "What the hell?"]]
122* DoWrongRight: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/04/08/0049-graffiti/ According to Sandra's grandmother]], graffiti should have [[GrammarNazi correct spelling and grammar]].
123* DudeNotFunny: Subverted. Sandra is prone to playing a game where she's the EvilQueen of her bedroom and her toys are her oppressed subjects. Cloud, whose mother spent her youth fighting against an oppressive regime, seems very offended when he catches her doing it... but it turns out that he was just guilt-tripping her as a ploy to get his hands on the evil queen's super weapon so he could stage a coup.
124* EatsBabies: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2012/04/30/0372-junk-food/ Ruth]] [[NightmareFuelStationAttendant claims to eat wolf pups]]. She's already proved surprisingly adept with a gun despite being a squirrel.
125* EngagingConversation: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/10/14/0208-pizza-ii/ Probably]]. [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2011/12/22/0336-the-poem-iv/#comments And this.]]
126* EveryoneHasStandards:
127** Woo decides not to name his and Lily's kits based on names acquired through a [fake] Patreon drive. [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2015/06/18/0693-the-brightest-stars/ Because Lily threatened him]] when he suggested names other than what ''she'' decided.
128--->'''Woo:''' Even if you give Novil a million dollars, I won't commit suicide for you!
129** Played with regarding [[spoiler:the Devil]]: He is visibly disgusted by the whole plan about [[spoiler:God killing Sandra]], but when reading about what Larisa plans to make her worst enemy suffer (namely making them [[AndIMustScream immobile]], [[TheSleepless insomniac]] and [[WhoWantsToLiveForever immortal]]), he is beyond excited and even [[spoiler:promotes]] her.
130* EvilPoacher: "She makes [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Elmer Fudd]] look like an animal rights activist."
131* ExiledToTheCouch: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2013/03/28/0467-dirty-cheater/ Hey, David dared to cheat on an Unreal Tournament Deathmatch.]]
132* TheFaceless: Hannes Dörflinger's head is always cut out of view from the top of each panel.
133%%* FacePalm
134* FakeRabies: Tanya and a hunter, looking for a supposedly-rabid fox, come across [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/07/13/0076-caught-off-guard/ Shadow, Sid, and Woo]] rolling on the ground and fighting, [[NotWhatItLooksLike with whipped cream all over them]].
135* FantasyKitchenSink: While not really delved upon, the comic takes place in the same world as Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt so its not unusal to see Ghosts, aliens, mermaids, talking animals and Gods and Goddesses.
136* FellOffTheBackOfATruck: Said verbatim [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2019/07/11/1097-worsening-safety-situation/ here]].
137* FirstKiss: After three attempts were MomentKiller broken up--[[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/05/17/0165-kissus-interruptus/ the first by Cloud's sister and mother]], [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/12/13/0226-bulls-eye-i/ the second by a soccer ball]], [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2011/07/11/0289-moment-kisser/ and the third]] by Larisa--Sandra and Cloud got fed up [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2011/07/14/0290-the-kiss/ and made sure nobody would interrupt them again]]. Humorously enough, ''both'' of their first kisses came from Larisa. And of course, [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/11/26/0115-first-kiss/ Sandra doesn't count this one]].
138* FirstNameBasis: Larisa calls her parents, Jelena and Ivan, by their first names. She usually calls her mother "Lena", to boot.
139* {{Foreshadowing}}:
140** We get [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/01/04/0126-secrets/ an early one for Larisa]] when she stops during a break in an adventure with Sandra, Cloud, and Woo, and takes some sort of medication. Only Woo sees her.
141--->'''Larisa:''' I guess... We all have our secrets. (''scritches Woo under his chin'') I wonder what yours is?
142** Butterfly, a raccoon brought up for only a mention in [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2013/09/12/0510-climbing-grades/ #510]], shows up in the second longest Sandra and Woo story arc starting with [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2013/11/21/0530-the-special-one-football-manager/ #530]]
143* FoodSlap: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/02/11/0137-the-worst-of-all-possible-replies/ Sandra to her father, after he accidentally agreed with Larisa's assessment of her looks]].
144* FromBadToWorse: The ''Under A Killer Ballon" arc started with Sandra's favorite cereal getting changed to contain raisins and escalated to Sandra and other guy being kidnapped by a maniac in order to made them virgin sacrifices to the Aztec god of war, with Woo being the only able to save them.
145* FunnyBackgroundEvent: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/01/11/0128-the-most-precious-thing/ Woo getting bitten by a rat]]. The next strip brings his retaliation to the foreground.
146* FunnyTerrainCrossSection: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2012/08/02/0399-shiver/ In this strip]].
147* GardenOfEden: The comic presents a fresh take on the imagery: when Woo encounters the tree of knowledge, he doesn't care about the fruit on it, instead opting to eat the serpent.
148* GeniusBonus: {{Invoked}} and [[{{Parody}} parodied mercilessly]]; in response to claims that the webcomic wasn't challenging enough, the two introduced a simple 4-panel strip that, to read, one would have to solve a crossword puzzle, speak a certain Malay language, carry out a series of word puzzles, and have a bit of knowledge regarding coding, ASCII, and RGB values.
149* TheGlomp: Sandra gives an ''epic'' one to Cloud after he [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2011/12/22/0336-the-poem-iv/ gives her a love letter]].
150* GodwinsLaw: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2014/10/06/0622-vote-sandra/ Parodied]]. Larisa seems convinced that this is a sound strategy to convince the soccer team to elect Sandra as captain, because a [[BlackComedy Jewish student cheated in a previous game]]. Unsurprisingly, the comments section is disabled for that particular comic.
151* GoneHorriblyRight: When a nature photographer catches Shadow as he's about to have sex with his wife and then uploads the picture to the Internet (along with another picture of Shadow taking a dump), Shadow convinces Woo and Sid to help him get revenge. They cover his house with pictures and statues of animals having sex, including [[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom filling his computer with furry porn.]] What they don't realize, however, is that the photographer's date is ''[[AttackBackfire extremely]]'' [[TooKinkyToTorture kinky]], and takes all of this as a sign that [[{{Unishment}} it's time]] [[DidntSeeThatComing to break out]] [[CasualKink the whip and handcuffs.]] The trio just walks away, incredibly confused about what just happened and conclude that they don't really understand humans.
152* GoodAngelBadAngel: After reading Zoey's steamy stories and not knowing what to do, [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2022/05/04/1331-good-angel-bad-angel/ Sandra's angels]] appear to offer advice. The bad angel reminds her that she's meeting Cloud on Saturday, so she should invite Zoey because [[LoveTriangle three is better than two]]. The good angel apparently doesn't understand and suggests inviting Larisa as well, with Sandra calling her out on it.
153* GoodColorsEvilColors: When Larisa is looking for [[spoiler:a place where Sandra can't be killed by angels]], she happily exclaims that luckily the entire map is green. It takes her a moment to realize that [[spoiler:she works with the [[AffablyEvil devil]].]]
154* GoofyPrintUnderwear: The link for BullyingADragon.
155* GottaPassTheClass: Landon met Larisa when he offered to help her study so she wouldn't fail math.
156* GrammarNazi: Sandra's grandma gets into trouble for [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/04/08/0049-graffiti/ correcting graffiti]].
157* GrapesOfLuxury: Sandra gets them [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/05/14/0059-walking-on-air/ for Woo]].
158* GRatedSex: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/02/22/0140-fallout/ Averted.]]
159%%* GreenAesop: There's an arc of them.
160* GreenEyedMonster: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/10/01/0099-love-sux/ Sandra falls victim to it.]]
161-->'''Sandra:''' How can seeing your best friends being so happy make you feel so miserable?
162* GroinAttack: A BoringButPractical [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2011/06/09/0280-special-attack-ii/ move]].
163* HappilyMarried:
164** Cloud's parents.
165** Shadow and Echo.
166** Woo and Lily, who seem to commit to monogamy in the "Dark and Stormy Night" ark, which is rare for raccoons.
167** Presumably, Sandra's parents, Richard and the late Julie North.
168* HeartbreakAndIceCream: In "[[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2016/02/08/0759-emergency-pack/ Emergency Pack]]", a cracked HeartSymbol of CardiovascularLove on the packaging for "Break-Up Emergency Pack" ice cream.
169* HellHasNewManagement: A {{Downplayed|Trope}} example. When Larisa lists the three things she'd wish upon her worst enemy are "[[AndIMustScream immobility, insomnia, and immortality]]", the Devil is so impressed that he considers her for a position on Hell's Board of Directors.
170* HighPressureEmotion: Cloud does this and has a SweatDrop when [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2012/12/13/0437-cloud-under-pressure/ his mom teases him about marrying Sandra]].
171%%* HollywoodHacking: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2016/09/01/0817-the-divine-comedy-page-15/ Averted]], much to the Devil's dismay.
172* HollywoodRestrainingOrder: Larisa has a map of town covered in circles marking places she's no longer allowed to go.
173* HotGuyUglyWife: This is how at least some of Cloud and Sandra's fellow students [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/02/08/0136-theres-still-hope/ see their relationship]], wondering why a "[[ChickMagnet ten]]" like him is going out with a "five" like her. Of course, there's probably some [[GreenEyedMonster jealousy]] involved with that assessment of Sandra's attractiveness.
174* HotTeacher: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2013/09/16/0511-a-visitor-from-england/ Sir James Eglamore]].
175* HumansAreUgly: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/02/18/0139-unfavorable-comparison/ Woo seems to think so]], and apparently even has trouble understanding why humans are attracted to each other.
176* HurricaneOfExcuses: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/09/16/0200-excuses-a-plus/ Larisa has a different excuse for every class]] as to why she didn't do the homework, including [[ADogAteMyHomework her father eating it for a performance art piece]], it being classified information prohibited by the Maltese government, and accusing one teacher of molesting her. Apparently, one of the excuses is true.
177* {{Hypocrite}}: The principal gives Larisa an earful about drugs while smoking - never mind that Larisa's drugs are prescription medication she literally needs in order to survive.
178* HypocriticalHumor: Multiple:
179** In [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2012/04/05/0365-disgrace-to-the-species/ this strip]], a [[MisterMuffykins spoiled little dog]] accuses Shadow of having no honor and bringing "shame to all canids". Then he takes a ride in his mistress' handbag to his appointment with the dog groomer.
180** A meta-example in [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2015/08/13/0709-pandering-to-the-audience/#comments this comic]]. [[StraightGay Zoey]] is complaining about the author of a book she’s reading is PanderingToTheBase... while [[IncompatibleOrientation Michelle]] gives her a kiss on the cheek.
181** When Larisa's insulin is mistaken for hard drugs, the principal lectures her on how the school cannot tolerate ''any'' drugs at all because drugs are dangerous, as he opens a pack of cigarettes and begins smoking.
182** Sandra has the audacity to declare boys are perverts at the thought of Sandra having another hot crush and Sandra having a smooching contest with Larisa when Sandra herself wants do do all of that.
183* ImmuneToMindControl: The black fedoras that Sandra and Woo obtained in "the arc with the cereal formula changing" makes the wearer immune to brainwashing.
184* ImprovisedLockpick: Woo uses his fingers to pick a padlock on the birdcage to an annoying Tweety Pie {{Expy}}.
185* IncompatibleOrientation: Zoey has a crush on her friend Michelle, and kisses her in a moment of excitement. Unfortunately for her, Michelle is straight.
186* IncorruptiblePurePureness: [[Series/MisterRogersNeighborhood Mr. Rogers]] was apparently the only human being ever to have this. This is a sore spot for TheDevil, whose work relies on the fact that HumansAreFlawed.
187* InnocentInnuendo:
188** {{Subverted|Trope}}. 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:]]]]
189--->'''Lily:''' [[DoYouWantToCopulate Let's mate once again instead.]] [[SexGod You’re infinitely better at that.]]\
190'''Woo:''' [[BigYes WOO!]]
191** Played straight [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2014/04/14/0572-next-step-i/#comments here.]] [[spoiler:It's even {{lampshaded}} by Novil, who says the obvious "[[ButWeUsedACondom protection]]" joke would've been ''too'' raunchy.]]
192* InnocentSwearing: In [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/08/09/0189-shows-over/ #189]], Yuna completed her call for the freedom of the people of Burma with the word "motherfuckers". [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/08/12/0190-apology/ After she was told that it's an very offensive swearword, she apologized]].
193* InsistentTerminology:
194** [[TheCorrupter Larisa]] doesn't "bewitch" people. She "reorganises deep neural networks by supervised training."
195** The CorruptCorporateExecutive who tries to take Sandra away is insistent that he's not a vampire.
196--->'''Armin Fish:''' Man-eaters, please, not vampires. The vampires are in the movie industry and we don’t get along with them very well.
197* InstantCostumeChange: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/08/17/0086-high-risk-of-infection/ Sandra changes clothes in a flash]] after hearing Cloud is coming over.
198* InsultBackfire: Zoey tells Landon that he's "nothing but Larisa's little boy toy." He does not find that as humiliating as she had hoped.
199-->'''Landon:''' [[HappinessInSlavery Sweet!]]\
200'''Zoey:''' Nooo! You're not allowed to like that!
201* IntellectualAnimal: Shadow might be the most prominent example for this trope since he's for example able to come up with a rhyming [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/07/02/0073-summer-by-the-lakeside/ carnivorous anthem]].
202* TheInternetIsForPorn: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/02/22/0140-fallout/ Woo uses YouTube to watch videos of raccoons getting it on]].
203* InterruptedIntimacy: Shadow and his mate, Echo, are [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2014/08/14/0607-peeping-tom/ interrupted by a wildlife photographer.]]
204* InterspeciesRomance: The bird is in love with a stick insect in [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/03/16/0042-weird-animals/ the first panel]].
205* IntimateTelecommunications: One storyline revolved around Larisa trying to send a nude pic to her boyfriend for his birthday but accidentally hitting "Send to All'' instead. A glitch involving a third party add-on she had installed caused the pic to be sent to all 60 million users of the app in North America. [[ShamelessFanserviceGirl Not that she cared.]]
206* IronicEcho: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/02/18/0139-unfavorable-comparison/ One strip]] has Woo deride humans as "slaves to your hormones". Later on, he [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/02/25/0141-raccoon-sweet-and-sour/ tries to defend himself from an angry Sandra]] by saying the same thing about himself.
207* JerkassGods: Seeoahtlahmakaskay [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2013/06/27/0494-the-golden-age-of-raccoons/ trolls her followers]] [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2013/07/01/0495-office-prank/ and even the Supreme Deity]].
208* JesusWasWayCool: Sandra thinks that [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/11/30/0116-jesus-of-nazareth/ Jesus was a swell guy]], but she can't stand his fanboys. [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2014/06/02/0586-larisa-the-heretic/ Landon's dad and Larisa agree]].
209* JumpingTheShark: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]], [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/11/12/0111-shark-jumped-the-woo/ and taken literally.]] [[invoked]]
210* JustFriends: {{Invoked|Trope}} and {{discussed|Trope}} with [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2011/10/20/0318-landon-is-not-aware-of-the-ladder-theory/ "The ladder theory"]] before being {{averted}} in the next strip.
211* JustTheIntroductionToTheOpposites: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/09/20/0201-eating-out/ This strip]] has immature behavior causing embarrassment at a restaurant... but it's David and Ye Thuza embarrassing their kids by acting childish.
212* KidsPreferBoxes: Sandra gives Woo a [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/10/15/0103-the-new-toy/ cardboard box full of bubble wrap]] as a gift.
213* KillerGameMaster: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2016/06/20/0796-bdmfh/ Sandra, when Cloud misbehaves]].

218** Sandra and Cloud are kissing, ''Larisa'' is in the tree.
219* KissingUnderTheInfluence: To celebrate Butterfly's successful climb, Seeoahtlahmakaskay declares [[APartyAlsoKnownAsAnOrgy early mating season]].
220* KnightOfCerebus: The lynx in the current story line. It ambushes the raccoon children, and in its attempt to devour them, [[spoiler: Arcturus]] gets impaled by a pitch fork [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2017/12/04/0943-the-attack/]].
221* LaserGuidedAmnesia:
222** The end result of [[spoiler:the "Divine Comedy" arc. The Western God is killed and replaced, the Devil gets Larisa to sign a contract to become a succubus in order to save Sandra's life, and Seeoahtlahmakaskay whips Cupid's ass raw,]] but ultimately [[spoiler:Larisa and [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou the audience]] are subjected to the "flashy thing" from ''Film/MenInBlack'']].
223** Larisa removes [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2019/01/28/1054-isle-of-lust/ Cloud's memory]] about [[ParentalSexualitySquick Ye Thuza's]] CasualKink, and later [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2019/02/07/1057-a-world-of-pain/ Richard North's memory]] of the [[FrenchMaidOutfit sexy costumes]] Sandra ordered.
224* LaughThemselvesSick: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2014/10/23/0627-the-west-identity-episode-1-page-5/ The suggestion of intelligence agencies being held accountable was so ludicrous to Cloud, that he pretended to die of laughter]].
225* LaymansTerms: Inverted in [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/10/28/0212-techno-babble/ this strip]]. "These are management consultants. From IBM. They don't understand your "{{Technobabble}}"."
226* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: A [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/09/02/0196-no-night-in-spiderman/ brief gag with Cloud's parents]]
227* LeetSpeak: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/08/24/0088-this-strip-has-been-partially-rewritten/ Cloud is apparently fluent.]]
228-->'''Cloud:''' BOOM! HEADSHOT! O lol lol, girlz are always teh suxx0rs at gaming!
229* LimitedWardrobe: Averted: the characters obviously wear the same clothes when comics takes place sequentially, and change to hint a new day happens.
230* [[LikeFatherLikeSon Like Father, Like Daughter]]: Larisa is, like her father, an accomplished painter, both with different styles (Larisa is also a sculptor, which in case of her father wasn't confirmed yet).
231* LikeYouWereDying: Strip 718 finally confirms that [[spoiler:at least some of Larisa's reckless behavior and cavalier attitude is due to her belief that since she'll be "blind in 10 years and dead in 20", due to Wolfram syndrome, the consequences of her actions don't matter and she might as well have fun.]]
232* LookBehindYou: '''[[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2011/05/23/0274-last-resort/ Look!! A talking raccoon!!!]]''' Said by a talking raccoon in front of the guy.
233* LovesMeNot: Played with [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/12/02/0222-plucking-daisies-i/ here]]
234* LuminescentBlush: Sandra gets '''very''' flustered when [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2022/04/25/1329-turning-red/ she reads the lewd fanfics Zoey wrote about the two of them]], to the point that dunking her head in water [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2022/05/01/1330-water-cycle/ produces steam that creates a rain cloud over Woo]].
235-->'''Woo:''' Vantablack, the world's blackest black, meet Sandrared, the world's reddest red. Found exclusively on Sandra's cheeks.
236* 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!]]
237* TheMafia: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/07/23/0079-a-devilishly-good-idea/ A pest control shop called]] "[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sicilian_Mafia C. Nostra]]" ([[spoiler:They're actually animals taking revenge on humans committing animal cruelty]]).
238* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: The eagle [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2011/04/14/0262-predator-and-prey/ here]] is only ''mildly'' annoyed that Woo is eating her offspring.
239-->'''Eagle:''' [[ThatMakesMeFeelAngry It makes me sad and a little bit angry that you're eating my offspring]].
240* MakingLoveInAllTheWrongPlaces: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2014/11/27/0637-culture-clash/ Woo thinks having sex at the dinner table with his (very, very satisfied looking) wife is completely acceptable behavior]].
241* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: Just about every single heterosexual relationship is between an energetic, fearless girl and a gentle, sensitive boy. The main exceptions are Woo and Lily (neither of whom is particularly masculine ''or'' feminine).
242* MatterOfLifeAndDeath: Food, necessary to maintain the art of not eating squirrels.
243* MeaningfulName: Sandra's last name is North. Sterling North wrote a book titled ''Rascal'' about a raccoon who becomes a human's pet.
244* MediumAwareness: The characters [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2008/11/20/the-moment-of-dawning-comprehension/ apparently]] know the comic's [[spoiler:update schedule]].
245* MeetTheInLaws: There was a story arc where Larisa went over to dinner at Landon's place for the first time. Landon's religious mother was convinced that she was either a witch or a succubus destined to give birth to the Anti-Christ. On the other hand, his father got along with her perfectly. [[spoiler:Fortunately, his mother isn't an issue anymore since they got divorced and the father has custody.]]
246* MemeticMutation: In universe, a video of Cloud taking down a thug was "more popular than free bacon." [[spoiler:It turns out that this was all part of Larisa's BatmanGambit to help out her dad's website.]]
247* MissingMom: Sandra's mother Julie died of an yet unknown cause [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/01/15/0025-an-overdue-visit/ two years before the comic began]]. She has only been mentioned on a few strips, and only shown on one (in flashback form).
248* MistakenForJunkie: Larisa, who is diabetic, is caught by a teacher when giving herself an insulin shot during recess. She's then sent to the principal who informs her that taking this "dangerous drug" violates the school's zero tolerance policy against drugs. The plot was inspired by a [[TruthInTelevision similar incident on a U.S. middle school in the 1990s]]. [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/05/18/0060-addicted/ Start reading here.]]
249* MisterMuffykins: A rather {{hypocritical|humor}} one appears [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2012/04/05/0365-disgrace-to-the-species/ here]].
250* MomentKiller:
251** [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/12/13/0226-bulls-eye-i/ Soccer ball, apply directly to the forehead!]]
252** Earlier than that with [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/05/17/0165-kissus-interruptus/ Yuna and Ye Thuza]].
253** [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2011/07/11/0289-moment-kisser/ Who else but Larisa?]]
254* MoneySpider: PlayedForLaughs. [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/12/21/0122-random-encounter/ One strip]] has Cloud kill (or at least knock out) a rabid bat to protect Larisa. Then he finds out the bat had money on it for some reason.
255-->'''Cloud:''' Seventeen dollars?
256* MonsterIsAMommy: Inverted when Ruth kills [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2013/06/06/0488-ruthless/ a lynx]] that tried to eat her, only for her kittens to come out and discover their mother's corpse.
257* MoodWhiplash: The comic is notable for skillfully managing to weave between heartwarming childhood adventure, adult humor and some frighteningly dark themes without changing its pace, to an effect that can sometimes be jarring. Examples of this include the subject of Sandra's dead mother, Ye Thuza's childhood as a child soldier in Burma, Zoey's coming-out-of-the-closet, and, most recently, [[spoiler:the fact that Larisa was born with a disease that would probably kill her by 30.]]
258* MostCommonSuperpower: Lampshaded [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/09/02/0196-no-night-in-spiderman/ here]].
259* MotiveMisidentification: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2015/11/02/0732-under-a-killer-balloon-the-cereal-killer-page-10/ Here]].

262* MuggingTheMonster: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/01/22/0027-major-mistake/ Don't mess with Cloud]].
263* MusicAgeDissonance: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/01/26/0028-target-groups/ One comic]] has Sandra's father play an Music/AvrilLavigne song in a music game, while Sandra herself listens to Music/FrankSinatra.
264* NameAndName
265* NatureIsNotNice: Mainly whenever the animal's carnivorous nature is brought up. Played for BlackComedy. Woo and Shadow have sometimes threatened to eat Sid the squirrel, even though they're normally friends, and Shadow had even shared a chunk of his childhood with Sid. Or an Eagle captures Woo to eat him, only to watch Woo eat its eggs. Or most recently, the carnivores animals claim to have been inspired by ''Zootopia'' to act nice to the herbivores, but it turns out to be a trick to attack and eat the herbivores now that their defenses are down.
266* NerfArm: Cloud has a wooden katana.
267* NippleAndDimed: Courtesy of [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2011/12/08/0332-fashion-tip-ii/ Woo's surprise tackle followed by shredding all of her clothes]] Sandra ends up [[OutOfClothesExperience buck-naked save for her underpants]].

268* NoirEpisode: The ''Under A Killer Balloon'' StoryArc.
269* NonIdleRich: Sandra's grandparents are actually loaded, so farming is more of a hobby for them.
270* NonIndicativeName: Luna mentions a gang called The White Brotherhood took over her old neighborhood in [[WretchedHive Camden, New Jersey]]. Sandra assumes they're Neo-Nazis, but Luna points out they're actually a black gang. It's [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2015/01/15/0650-white-brotherhood/ implied]] they got their name because they believe mayonnaise is SeriousBusiness.
271* NoodleIncident:
272** Do we really want to know how playing "Truth or Dare" with Larisa can cause [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2011/09/19/0309-important-advice/ psychological trauma?]]
273** [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2013/09/19/0512-the-duel/ Why did the school feel the need to specifically ban dueling between teachers and students?]]
274** [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2014/05/26/0584-law-abiding-citizen/ So that was the reason for the squad of]] {{Black Helicopter}}s.
275** So...[[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2016/08/08/0810-the-divine-comedy-page-8/ What exactly ''DID'' Odin do with Driver's Logbook?]]
276** The plasma incident [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2021/04/13/1260-larisas-life-advice-part-1/]]
277* {{Nosebleed}}: Cloud gets a really bad one in [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2019/06/06/1089-in-critical-condition/ this strip]]. It's bad enough that he needs an ambulance.
278* NoSell: Tommy tries using a MindControl gun on Lloyd. It doesn't work.
279* NotAllowedToGrowUp: Surprisingly {{Averted|Trope}}. 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 [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2008/10/27/homesickness/ this strip from 2008]] to [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2011/07/25/0293-homecoming-i/ one from 2011]] and then [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2015/01/01/0646-classification-of-species/ one from 2015]].
280* NotWearingPantsDream: How the game demo starts.
281* NotWhatItLooksLike: Tanya and a hunter, looking for a supposedly-rabid fox, come across [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/07/13/0076-caught-off-guard/ Shadow, Sid, and Woo]] rolling on the ground and fighting, [[FakeRabies with whipped cream all over them]].
282* ObliviousToLove: Thomas was completely clueless as to why Luna wanted to go to the Warriors game with him, despite the fact that she was wearing a shirt that said "Thomas, I ''like'' you!"
283* OfficerOHara: There's a recurring cop character by the name of Nigel O'Sullivan, but he doesn't really have any Irish stereotypes.
284* OfficialCouple:
285** Sandra and Cloud. Starting [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2011/07/14/0290-the-kiss/ here]].
286** Landon and Larisa, starting [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2011/10/27/0320-honest-relationship/ here,]] though probably more officially [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2012/05/21/0378-a-walk-through-the-park/ here.]]
287** Woo and Lily, starting [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2013/05/09/0480-a-dark-and-stormy-night-x/ here]]. Note that raccoons normally don't settle down to monogamy, so Lily's expression is really touching.
288* OnceDoneNeverForgotten: One of Cloud's fears regarding a love [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2011/12/22/0336-the-poem-iv/ letter]].
289* OnlySaneMan: Zoey is this in the storyline where she discovers she has a ShipperOnDeck named Gilligan regarding her and another girl at school, Julia (who she has never even spoken to before, mind you). Absolutely everyone but her agrees that this guy has impeccable taste in ships, and therefore must be onto something regarding Zoey and Julia. This includes a judge, who throws out the case when Zoey takes her shipper to court on harassment charges; and even Julia herself. [[NotSoAboveItAll Even Zoey admits that Julia is totally her type]]. It's seemingly just the principle of the matter that's keeping her from going along with it.
290-->'''Judge:''' This case seems to be clear-cut. I just have one remaining question for the defendant. ''[takes out two pictures]'' [[Manga/{{Bleach}} Ichigo/Rukia or Ichigo/Orihime?]]\
291'''Gilligan:''' Ichigo/Rukia!\
292'''Judge:''' I see you are a man of culture as well. CASE DISMISSED! ''[bangs gavel]''\
293'''Zoey:''' SAY WHAT?!!\
294'''Judge, Gilligan, and Gilligan's Lawyer:''' ''[linking arms and doing ThatRussianSquatDance]'' ONE TRUE PAIRING! ONE TRUE PAIRING! HEY!
295* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2013/03/17/0464-any-questions/ Larisa coaches Landon on how to spot an impostor pretending to be her]]: if she's no longer a {{Pyromaniac}}, something is wrong.
296* PaedoHunt: Mercilessly parodied. Larisa comes to a terrifying conclusion [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2012/11/01/0425-pervy-perv/ after dressing as a pedophile for Halloween]]:
297-->'''Larisa:''' Could it be that I '''am''' a pedo?\
298'''Sandra:''' What?\
299'''Larisa:''' Well, I'm totally into cute 12-year-old boys. '''12-year-old boys, Sandy!!'''\
300'''Sandra:''' Totally disgusting… especially for a 12-year-old girl like you.\
301[...]\
302'''Larisa:''' You, on the other hand, seem to be '''solely''' interested in boys of your own age!\
303'''Sandra:''' [[SarcasmMode I’m]] '''[[SarcasmMode such]]''' [[SarcasmMode a pervy perv.]]
304::: Larisa winds up called out for it at the school psychologist's. She misses the point of her calling-out ''completely''.
305* ParentalNeglect: Sandra's father is a video game addict which [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2008/11/24/video-game-addiction/ comes in the way of his parenting]].
306* ParentalSexualitySquick: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2019/01/21/1052-core-memory/ one that no amount of Brain Bleach can remove]].
307* ThePenIsMightier: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2013/06/20/0492-yuna-has-the-atom-bomb/ Yuna demonstrates how this is done]] against the bullies.
308* PeoplesRepublicOfTyranny: Demonstrated in [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2019/08/22/1108-republics/ this strip]], where the more a country's name tries to sell it as prosperous, peaceful and democratic, the worse conditions actually are.
309* PhlebotinumKilledTheDinosaurs: The eagle deity Roc [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2016/03/03/0765-the-apprentice/ accidentally triggered a meteor-caused mass extinction event on his second day 65 million years ago]]. [[TheAtoner To make up for this mistake]], he spends most of his time answering prayers from Earth's last remaining dinosaurs (birds).
310* PhysicalGod:
311** Seeoahtlahmakaskay, the raccoon mother deity. She personally interacts with Woo multiple times, and talks to Butterfly after her death-defying rock climb.
312** The "Divine Comedy" arc introduces God, the Devil, Odin, and Cupid, all of whom Larisa is able to see and/or speak to, along with Seeoahtlahmakaskay.
313* PirateGirl: Sandra dresses up as one for Halloween in the aforementioned strip:
314-->'''Sandra:''' Arr, Liz, didn't you want to dress up as something extra scary for the party today?
315* PlotBasedVoiceCancellation: PlayedForLaughs [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2013/11/14/0528-larisas-big-secret/ here]].
316* PoliticallyCorrectVillain: Tommy is very proud of serving an Aztec God of War who has a modern, inclusive view of who qualifies to be a virgin sacrifice. The male virgin who's about to be sacrificed decries it as PoliticalOvercorrectness.
317* PrecisionFStrike: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/08/09/0189-shows-over/ Done by someone less than ten.]]
318* PrivateEyeMonologue: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2013/01/03/0443-under-a-killer-balloon-episode-1-page-1/ Sandy South]] parodies this in a homage to [[ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes Tracer Bullet]].
319* ProductPlacement: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/03/02/0038-product-placement/ Oreos]], saving squirrels from being eaten since 1912.
320* {{Pun}}: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/08/13/0085-dessertification/ Dessertification]].
321* RagingStiffie: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2012/07/12/0393-the-curse-of-12-year-old-boys/ Cloud seeing Sandra in a swimsuit.]]
322-->'''Cloud:''' ''No!'' Not now!\
323'''Cloud's groin:''' You can no longer tell me what to do!
324** Then it gets worse as Sandra notices, and all girls present (including ''[[HumiliationConga his own mother]]'') proceed to tease him about it.
325* RaptorAttack: Lampshaded in [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2013/02/28/0459-velociraptor/ this comic]].
326* ReadTheFinePrint: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2012/02/20/0352-the-fine-print/ On]] the payment contract of the North's internet provider.
327* RefugeInAudacity:
328** Get snatched by an eagle? Eat its eggs!
329** [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2011/05/23/0274-last-resort/ No one will ever believe you]] [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2011/05/30/0277-the-last-laugh/ if you told them that]] [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2011/07/21/0292-who-has-the-last-laugh/ you heard a raccoon talk]].
330* RightOutOfMyClothes: This happens at least twice; [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2011/12/08/0332-fashion-tip-ii/ First, because of a surprise attack by Woo]], and then in turnabout [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2011/12/22/0336-the-poem-iv/ as Sandra shows how she feels about a love poem written for her]].
331* RippedFromTheHeadlines: 2019 has an arc that parodies the current European migrant crisis with Germans fleeing to America.
332* RousingSpeech:
333** [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/02/02/0030-naypyidaw-sector-1/ Cloud to Sandra]], followed by HoldingHands, {{squee}}.
334** [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/08/27/0089-woo-has-a-dream/ Woo]] [[UsefulNotes/CivilRightsMovement has a dream]].
335* RunningGag: Sid is friends with Woo and Shadow which does not stop them from trying to eat him on a frequent basis. And when they're not trying to eat him, their mates or other predators are.
336* RussianGuySuffersMost: Subverted with Larisa Korolev, who is Russian and probably acts the most cheerful and carefree of the main characters, but played completely straight with her parents. Her father, Ivan, appears to be a stereotypical "tortured bohemian", with the requisite mane of unkempt hair and the obsession with painting dark and macabre pictures. Her mother Jelena is a ruthless businesswoman who treats both Larisa and her husband very coldly. Larisa even goes as far as to say that her family has always had a "penchant for misery", which she hopes to end (presumably via her own happy-go-lucky behavior). [[spoiler:She says this in the context of [[MoodWhiplash telling a classmate about her terminal illness.]]]] Those Russians just can't seem to catch a break.
337* SavageWolves: Wolves are frequent antagonists in the comics.
338* SayingTooMuch: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2019/01/21/1052-core-memory/ This strip]] has Ye Thuza unthinkingly blurting out something about herself that [[EveryoneHasStandards even]] ''[[AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents she]]'' thinks her son should not know.
339* SceneryCensor: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/03/04/0143-love-at-first-sight/ This one]], censoring Woo's thoughts with shrubbery.
340* TheScreamParody: Sandra imitates The Scream when she [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2011/11/03/0322-sandras-scream/ remembers making a mistake on a math test]].
341* SelfDeprecation: A meta example.
342-->'''Larisa''' (''summarising Germany in four words'')''':''' [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2012/06/07/0383-germany-in-four-words/ Nazis bad, cars good, the end!]]
343* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2012/10/15/0420-two-gamers-on-a-couch/ Never ask a biologist to say something romantic]].
344* SeriousBusiness: Larisa and kisses.
345-->'''Larisa:''' It's ''always'' a good moment for smooching!\
346'''Landon:''' No, we should ''definitely'' post-pone it!...Because I'm giving a presentation on Germany.\
347'''Larisa:''' (''without stopping kissing him'') [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2012/06/07/0383-germany-in-four-words/ Nazis bad, cars good, the end!]]
348* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: Larisa has this attitude when she [[ItMakesSenseInContext sends a nude picture of herself to all of North America by mistake]]. Her reasoning is particularly sad: [[spoiler:she’ll be blind in 10 years and dead in 20, and some naysayers seeing her by mistake is insignificant in comparison]].
349* ShipperOnDeck:
350** [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/05/17/0165-kissus-interruptus/ Frequent]] [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/05/20/0166-shipwreck/ occurrence]] [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2011/02/10/0244-a-new-adventure/ in Cloud's]] [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2012/12/13/0437-cloud-under-pressure family.]]
351** Zoey gets what she initially believes to be a StalkerWithACrush, when in fact he is actually shipping her with another girl in school.
352* ShoutOut: So many of them in fact that it requires its own [[Shoutout/SandraAndWoo page]].
353* [[SoldHisSoulForADonut Sold Her Soul for a Donut]]: A throwaway strip has Sandra remark that she'd sell her soul for an cold glass of lemonade on a hot day. To her surprise a glass of lemonade materializes on the picnic table [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/06/25/0071-how-not-to-deal-with-the-devil/ next to her.]]
354* SpaghettiKiss: Subverted when [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2011/08/29/0303-eating/ Woo and Lily share an earthworm, but Lily sucks it out of Woo's mouth before they kiss]].
355* SpoofAesop:
356** Crops up at the end of the insulin ban storyline, where Sandra's dad gives the IncrediblyLamePun of "ducks are bad for you," with a beer bottle in his free hand and something hand-rolled in his mouth.
357** Also when Ruth has exhausted the forest's supply of predators and wants to move somewhere else, but Sid is so inconsolable at the thought that she ends up sticking around. The lesson, according to Woo?
358--->'''Woo:''' "Your girlfriend won't leave you as long as you're clingy enough."\
359'''Lily:''' That's a ''terrible'' lesson!\
360'''Woo:''' Still better than "good things come to those who wait."
361* SpotlightStealingSquad: Would be played straight, but is avoided by the fact that the writer decided to legally give the spotlight to Cloud and Larisa instead, officially elevating them to Woo's level of focus.
362* StalkerWithACrush: Zoey initially believes she's got one as a weird guy starts following her around. Subverted in that it turns out to be even worse - he's not a stalker, he's a [[spoiler:''[[ShipperOnDeck shipper!]]'']]
363* StellarName: Woo and Lily's kits are named after stars: Sirius, Vega, Arcturus and Canopus.
364* StockAnimalName: Woo is initially christened 'Rascal'. He isn't pleased.
365* StuffedIntoATrashcan:
366** Done to Ralph by Cloud. It was a ShoutOut to Webcomic/OzyAndMillie where the trope was commonly abused by JerkJock, Jeremy.
367** A sufficiently angered Sandra does this to Larisa after [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/02/08/0136-theres-still-hope/ one biting remark too many.]]
368* StrawFeminist: The new biology teacher, [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2014/07/07/0596-97-points/ Dorothy Cambrigde and the Moral Police.]]
369* SuccubiAndIncubi: When the Devil visits Larisa to convince her to sell her soul, he says that when she eventually goes to Hell, he plans to make her a succubus, [[LovableSexManiac tempting the innocent with her sexual wiles]], [[PyroManiac feeding the fires of hell until they engulf Elysium]]. He then has to tell her to stop [[PervertedDrooling drooling]] at the prospect.
370* SuddenSchoolUniform: Literally. Powree just started drawing the kids in identical white polos and dark pants without mention in the dialogue at all, let alone a subplot..
371** Eventually reversed, with the same lack of fanfare. Luna's story arc is inaugurated by her [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2014/12/25/0644-the-most-dangerous-game/ being teased for wearing the same outfit every day]]
372* TakeThat:
373** [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2012/01/05/0339-little-red-riding-pony/ In regards]] to the ShowAccuracyToyAccuracy of WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic merchandise.
374** And the GeniusBonus [[invoked]] 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 ''ComicStrip/{{Marvin}}''.
375** Larisa fantasizes about [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2012/09/10/0410-some-women-just-want-to-watch-abstract-expressionism-burn/ burning Mark Rothko paintings in lava]].
376** And one to ''Webcomic/CtrlAltDel'''s infamously awful ConvenientMiscarriage in terms of the layout, [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2015/05/28/0687-win/ but a far happier ending]].
377** The [[BlandNameProduct Snappic]] scandal yields one [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2015/09/21/0720-diamonds-are-a-presidents-best-friend/ directed at the Prison-Industrial complex in the US]].
378** Plenty of them in regards to American politics. Especially in more recent comics.
379* TakeThatAudience:
380** In [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2017/02/02/0857-conspiracy-theory/ #857]], Larisa accuses the audience of being foot fetishists.
381** [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2018/08/30/1017-letter-of-complaint/ This one]] calls out several commenters by name for complaining about the beach arc.
382* TheTalk: Richard [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2017/06/26/0898-aiieee/ brings in Ye Thuza]] to talk to a mortified Sandra about safe sex. Ye Thuza's advice consists of "never have unprotected sex"; she and Richard then go on to explain that it's normal for things to happen, but you need to be prepared (which Ye Thuza jokingly says involves carrying a gun in the event a tiger eats the boy you're with).
383-->'''Richard:''' Ye Thuza will now tell you everything you need to now about relationships and sexuality.\
384'''Ye Thuza:''' Never have unprotected sex!\
385(''{{beat}}'')\
386'''Richard:''' Go on, please...?\
387'''Ye Thuza:''' There's more to say?
388** Then again, her "talk" with Cloud amounted to her [[DisproportionateRetribution threatening to cut his head off]] if he got Sandra pregnant before they graduated from high school.
389* TalkingAnimal:
390** Woo can talk to both human and animals. Any case of another animal talking to Woo is a case of TranslationConvention. [[spoiler:Woo's kids inherited his talking ability as well]].
391** A dog was given the ability to speak human through a serum. Expectedly, it only says things like "play" and "cuddle".
392* TearsOfJoy: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2013/08/12/0503-paradise-falls/ They don't need to watch the Paradise Falls to be happy together.]]
393* TeenPregnancy: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2014/08/07/0605-teenage-pregnancy/ Discussed here]]. Richard discusses the pill with Sandra, and Larisa advises Landon that, in one month, he could knock up a '''teenage''' girl. Given her character, the dynamics of their relationship, and the fact that she seems to be undressing, rest assured it is ''not'' innocent. Ye Thuza threatens to cut off Cloud's head if he gets Sandra pregnant before she graduates high school, which is most likely ''not'' an idle threat. Woo, on the other hand, doesn't see what the fuss is about, because for a raccoon, thirteen plus is too ''old'' to have kits.
394* ThatCameOutWrong: Sandra, you shouldn't bad mouth rebels (even in a roleplay game) when [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2011/11/14/0325-mcm310/ the son of a former real-life rebel is hearing you]].
395* ThemeNaming:
396** The Williams family named their children after ''Final Fantasy'' characters. One is [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Cloud]] and the other is [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyX Yuna]].
397** Woo and Lily's kits are named after stars: Sirius, Vega, Arcturus and Canopus.
398* TheseusShipParadox: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/08/24/0088-this-strip-has-been-partially-rewritten/ Discussed here]], in regards to computers and people.
399* TheyWouldCutYouUp: Woo doesn't talk in front of most humans because he's afraid this might happen to him if he does.
400* ThisIsReality: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/10/05/0100-love-hate-etc/ Sometimes it’s not like in the movies where everything will be alright again in the end.]]
401* ThroughAFaceFullOfFur: Lily [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/03/22/0148-damn-instincts/ here]].
402* TooDumbToLive: Yes, Tom the Talking Toast. [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2012/01/26/0345-the-contender-iii/ Play yourself up in front of a girl who can't decide what she wants for breakfast.]]
403** [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2022/01/02/1310-accretion-disk/ Don't let people hug black holes either]].
404* TookALevelInBadass: Woo. One year he lets two of alpha raccoon Tibor's mooks [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/02/19/0035-reliable-sources/ have a girl he was courting uncontested]]. The next year, when he courts Lily ([[spoiler:Tibor's daughter]]), he [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/03/15/0146-disordered-retreat/ runs them out of the forest]].
405%%* TooMuchInformation: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2011/09/08/0306-too-much-information/ Tell me less]].
406* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: Between her pyromania, her unbridled lust, and CallingParentsByTheirName, Larisa could be the patron saint of this trope.
407* TwerpSweating: When Larisa takes Landon to meet her parents, he thinks he's going to get this when Ivan pulls him aside. But it's {{subverted|Trope}} when he instead tells Landon about everything Larisa likes.
408-->'''Landon:''' Wow, thanks for the tips.\
409'''Ivan:''' Better you as her boyfriend than some thug.
410* UmpteenthCustomer: Parodied when Cloud almost becomes the [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2012/05/24/0379-abducted/ 1000th alien abductee]].
411* TheUnreveal:
412** We never find out what Cloud wrote that caused Sandra to pounce on him, remove half his clothes, and beg him to marry her, though it does contain the line "Sandy's shining eyes".
413** Strip 528: Larisa finally tells Zoey what's been haunting every fan's mind for the last three-going-on-four years... [[TrollingCreator And right then and there the comic experiences its first ever case of technical difficulties!]] All we get are Zoey's reactions to Larisa's reveal... It doesn't seem like it's good news. At all. It would be almost two more years - over five and a half years after the original hint - that it would finally be revealed that [[spoiler:Larisa suffers from Wolfram syndrome and will be blind in a decade and dead in two]].
414* VagueAge: The implication, through ArtEvolution, is that they are aging in real-time, but the only certainty is that Cloud, Larisa and Sandra are, as of 2015, 12 years old. As of [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2017/05/04/0883-sweet-talkers/ May 2017]], Sandra is about to turn thirteen. If the characters were aging in real time, Cloud, Larisa, and Sandra would have been three years old when the comic first started in 2008. If they age one year for every two real years, then they would have been eight in 2008.
415* ViewersAreGeniuses: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2011/04/11/0261-rule-number-one/ This page]] takes it as a given that the reader knows why running blindly through tall grass and bushes is an unsafe idea. Unfortunately, most of those readers don't seem to go outside very often, as it went over everyone's head.
416%%* VisualPun: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2013/07/15/0499-happy-ending/#comments The puppet government.]]
417* WhatCliffhanger: The comic titled "[[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/01/21/0131-cliffhanger/ Cliffhanger]]", the team is about to open the bag, and one makes a loud scream as if something happened. Instantly resolved in the next strip as the bag being full of bugs.
418* WhamLine: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2015/09/10/0717-dropping-the-bomb Larisa succinctly explaining]] her cavalier attitude towards [[spoiler:her nude selfie being sent to all of North America and causing a colossal scandal]]: she'll be blind in ten years and dead in twenty. [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2015/09/14/0718-corrupting-the-youth/ She clarifies her statement]] by explicitly revealing that [[spoiler:she has [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfram_syndrome Wolfram syndrome]], a rare genetic illness that results in gradual blindness and nerve damage (and also has diabetes as an associated condition) with a typical life expectancy of around thirty years]].
419* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: What became of the kittens of the bobcat Ruth killed?
420* WiseBeyondTheirYears: In the vein of ''ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes'', albeit further away from the family-friendly end.
421* WorkoutFanservice: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2011/08/01/0295-homecoming-iii/ Ye Thuza provides some here.]]
422* WorthlessTreasureTwist: Zig-zagged. Sandra, Woo, Cloud, and Larissa decide to explore an abandoned factory at one point and come across a bag full of stuff that they believe to be treasure. [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/01/25/0132-larisa-korolev-and-the-traveling-bag-of-doom/ When they open it]], all they find are a bunch of bugs and dirt. [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/02/04/0135-aftermath/ A few strips later]], it turns out that the factory was actually the hiding spot for a cache of stolen jewels, and the person who found and returned them was rewarded with 5% of the insurance payment.
423* YourTelevisionHatesYou: In [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/12/17/0228-already-gone/ "Already Gone"]], Sandra's listening to her iPod on shuffle while walking and holding hands with Cloud, only for her to keep getting BreakupSong after BreakupSong, much to her displeasure. She eventually lands on "Hero" by Music/EnriqueIglesias, a love song, and cheers up again.
