Happy New Year!

Sunday, December 31, 2006 - 02:46 AM

Hope you had/will have/are having/will have come to have a great New Year's. I'm still not sure what I'm doing to ring in the new year. My wife and I are realizing we're getting older and more content when "tea" sounds like a great option.

My 21-year old self would probably punch me in the teeth for even typing that.

As for Sheldon...good things are coming for the strip in the new year. A third (and possibly fourth) Sheldon book will be coming out...I'll be adding some fun new stuff to the site...and there may even be a new "companion" strip added to the lineup. But more news on all that in the weeks and months ahead.

For now, I'll leave you with this challenge: what interesting word possibilities did Arthur miss in jumbling up "resolution"? I'd be curious to see what folks can come up with.

3 ARTHUR: But if we jumble the letters around, we see that resolution also spells "rustie loon" ... meaning "you're older and crazier than last year."

4 ARTHUR: Jumbling letters again, we see that it also spells "nuo soliteri", which in Latin means "Yes, it's a new year, but you're still alone, watching Discovery Channel."

5 GRAMP: Lord ... can my resolution be to spend less time listening to you?
ARTHUR: No ... because it also spells "I rool u nest," meaning, "I'm all up in your bidness."
SHELDON: He's literally spent all morning on the john, writing these down.
