Translation help

Okay, so I was just readin some comic strips around the moon side of the web for practice, and came across this.

The first panel looks like it reads 「今日もえないっぱい泣かした.」, which is something like "Today I made Ena cry a lot too" (in the context this is used in) but then in the second frame she says 「ちょwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww」. That's the part I need help on translating, despite how easy it looks. ちょ is the shortened version of ちょっと, which means "wait", while w is short for 笑, which is to laugh (wwwwww is basically Japanese "lol").

So I'm guessing this is something like "lolwut"? I need JMSers who are more accustomed to Japanese internet lingo to help me out. Have you ever seen anyone use ちょwwwwwwwwwww?

I know wwwwwww and ちょ are correct, but I've never seen them combined, so I don't know if it has a different meaning or not than when they're seperated.

...you got me. I've never read Japanese comics, so I have no idea if that's what it means. I never knew anyone used "www" outside of the internet. Usually, outside of the internet, you only see "フフフフ" and "ハハハ"for laughter. So, your guess is as good as mine.

Ah, I see. Well, yeah, it's not really used outside the internet, but for web/fan comics (like this one) I see internet lingo a lot in them. Well, I guess I'll just stick with my guess of it being "lolwut". Thanks for helping.
