And at 31, Monica isn't yet really of an age to be considered a couger.

She is, however, exercising a jaguar's traditional prerogative to drop down upon you from above.

Well...they're wearing flats now. Those shoes could have been heels before the landing. :P

Love that last panel! :D

Now me am cofuzzled....

Monica flying - yea or nay? Or TI Hulk jump-flying, or ? I Don't think she could have covered that much lateral distance without a squirrel suit just falling - esp. if she only had 2-3 stories up to start....?

It's not flying, it's called "Parkour" and the Hulk does it often. =)

Spiderman and Blackcat are no slouches at Parkour either. DareDevil is good too. Being "cats" I'd have thought Mon and Shelly would've been a little more quiet. I'm glad to see they're having some fun though.

If they wore spike heels, they could properly stick the landing.

Sort of like 3-D horizontal leap frog. My daughter thought they looked like they were pretending to be squirrels. I suppose it does take a certain amount of nutty behavior.

Thanks - somebody mentioned that earlier. Also, that puts me in mind of Disney's Tarzan - They had him doing, basically, parkour through the jungle....

Since this is a reduced drama weekend and I suspect there are more than a couple of puzzle fans here, I suggest taking a look at a challenge posted by the author of Sandra and Woo to celebrate his 500th strip. The challenge is to decrypt a Voynich-like tome he created. There is even a significant cash prize. He created a 30 character alphabet with glyphs that look very similar to ancient Nordic and Phoenician runes. The encrypted text is a story he wrote (which probably involves Nordic mythology and may be in English, German or both). He said he used multiple levels of encryption so it is not a trivial challenge. In fact, he didn't expect anyone to solve it. However, a lot of progress has been made. If there is a real cryptologist here it would certainly add to the crowd-sourced talent. Book of Woo

BTW, the strip itself is an interesting read.
