In the post below, I completely forgot to mention the process of choosing your free book. Sorry about that!

After you order your Original Art, forward me the order confirmation e-mail (dave@davekellett.com), letting me know which book you'd prefer...and fwazoo!....free awesome book for you!

Hey, that rhymed.

Aw, shoot! He shoots down the chute while eating shoots!

In panel 3 of today's strip, Gramp says "...I'll send them down a shoot of 2 x 4's." This, as 5,243 people have kindly pointed out to me, is incorrect. It should read "chute."

In my original script, Gramp was going to say "I'll just shoot 'em down these 2 x 4's," but I changed it up as I was inking the text...and didn't notice my error. I'll incorporate that fix into the strip.

All of this, of course, proves the old truism:

"Homonyms: They're Mother Nature's little S.O.B.'s."

For everyone who's planning on getting some Sheldon Original Art as a Christmas gift for a loved one (or to treat themselves!), here's some fun news:

Between now and Christmas, any purchase of Sheldon Original Art comes with a free book of your choice! Grab your favorite strip, and get a little extra sum-sum!

To snag the Original Art for your favorite strip, just navigate to it in the archives, then click the blue "Buy Today's Original Art" button directly underneath the comic. Then -- wazam -- the artwork and a free book are yours!

---------------

Totally unrelated followup for folks who saw the "season ender" of Heroes: Isn't it ridiculously weird to watch the writers try to desperately wrap up 10-episodes-worth of storylines in one show? It was like Dostoyevsky getting halfway through "Brothers Karamazov" and saying "You know what...this book is starting to run too long. Let's just have all the brothers grab a beer together and wrap it up with a joke. There's too much angst over their dad."

Hey, if you're looking for a good Christmas tune, check out James Taylor's "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas". Awesome stuff.
