 So not even a third of all comics are still updated regularly, and those were considered to be among the best started in 2008. So not even a third of all comics are still updated regularly, and those were considered to be among the best started in 2008.

 This is a good time to look back at the beginning of Sandra and Woo. This is a good time to look back at the beginning of Sandra and Woo.

 The history of Sandra and Woo began in the summer of 2008. While visiting my grandmother,​ I had a couple of ideas for a comic strip featuring a talking raccoon and a girl. It was clear from the start that the child character had to be a girl so that the comic strip wouldn’t be too similar to Calvin and Hobbes. I considered using Sally as name for Sandra, but eventually decided against it because Sally is the name of Charlie Brown’s sister in Peanuts. Shadow and Sid, named Squibb back then, were the first two additional characters. They originally lived in a city park instead of a forest. During the first five years of Sandra and Woo, they played a significantly smaller role than initially planned. Cloud and Larisa came later, after the first Sandra and Woo strips had already been published. In some of my first scripts I just used unnamed schoolmates of Sandra if another character of the same age was required. Larisa was initially named Elena and this name was even used briefly in the first strip she appeared in, [[0033|Russian Revenge]]. But one reader reminded me in the comment section that Elena is also the name of an important character in Final Fantasy VII and that would have been one reference to that game too much. Larisa’s home country was originally Estonia, by the way, but I changed that to Russia fast. The history of Sandra and Woo began in the summer of 2008.

 After writing two dozen more or less finished scripts for individual Sandra and Woo strips, I posted a job offer in the [[http://​http//​www.conceptart.org/​forums/​|ConceptArt]] and [[http://​www.digitalwebbing.com/​forums/​|DigitalWebbing]] forums in October 2008. Since I was still a college student, I wasn’t able to offer much money. But many people seemed to have liked the concept because I received over 60 replies by interested artists. Powree, who read my offer at DigitalWebbing,​ was my first choice. Just one week later, we published the first Sandra and Woo strip on our website, [[0001|A Sly Raccoon]]. Although I didn’t ask for a sample, several applicants drew the comic characters as part of their application. As you can see, I liked Powree’s initial character design so much that absolutely no changes were made to Sandra’s and only a few to Woo’s:\\ After writing two dozen more or less finished scripts for individual Sandra and Woo strips, I posted a job offer in the [[http://​http//​www.conceptart.org/​forums/​|ConceptArt]] and [[http://​www.digitalwebbing.com/​forums/​|DigitalWebbing]] forums in October 2008.

 2006 to 2010 were very difficult years in my life. I was just no longer able to handle the crushing feeling of unrequited love. I met her again at a reunion this year, and she is still by far the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life. I’m sure she’s also still as nice as she was back then. I just hope that her partner appreciates her. On top of that, I was sad because my big Neverwinter Nights 2 mod project Gaia: Tales of the Third Age didn’t work out and I apparently suffered from a burnout so that studying for college became harder and harder for me. Sandra and Woo was one of the few things that gave my daily life at least some structure from fall 2008 onwards. I guess you don’t have to be depressed to create art, but it’s one of the few things that you can still do properly in a state of mental breakdown. 2006 to 2010 were very difficult years in my life.
