Scumbase

Oliver Knörzer lives in Waiblingen, Germany and Powree hails from Bandung, Indonesia. Despite being far-flung, together, these two produce some outstanding web reading. The long-running Sandra and Woo follows Sandra North, a middle schooler, and her talking raccoon.

However, i want to tell you about about another endeavour they recently started, with its first publication on Nov 1, 2011. New episodes of Gaia show on Tuesdays and Fridays.

Gaia follows a group of soon-to-be graduates of the Academy for Arcane Studies and Material Arts of Cania. It's currently at the graduation ceremony where interesting things look about to happen.

The emotions are somewhat simplistic at the outset .. I'm hoping that as they settle into the new comic and develop the characters more fully that we leave off with some of the teenage angst. However, the story so far is shows promise, so I'm willing to ride this out for longer.

Both Sandra and Woo and Gaia are also published in German and Dutch.

At note about Gaia from Wikipedia:
Gaia was the primordial Earth-goddess in ancient Greek religion. Gaia was the great mother of all: the heavenly gods and Titans were descended from her union with Uranus (the sky), the sea-gods from her union with Pontus (the sea), the Giants from her mating with Tartarus (the hell-pit) and mortal creatures were sprung or born from her earthy flesh. The earliest reference to her is Mycenaean Greek "Mother Gaia."


Her equivalent in the Roman pantheon was Terra.
