    Shadowbox Framing

    Sunday, March 23, 2008 - 10:14 PM

    It's always cool to see how Sheldonistas frame up their original art of the strips. Most choose to matte-frame the strips...but occassionally a reader does it in a different, unexpected way.

    For example, Sheldonista Dianne W. sent me a cool pic of her shadowboxed-framed original, and I thought I'd share it with you. The artwork sits floating above the matte! Like some awesome floating thing!

    Neat, huh?

    (And hey! If you've framed up your Sheldon original and wanna send me a pic, please do! It's fun to see where you have 'em in your home/office/bidness.)

    Peeps

    Sunday, March 23, 2008 - 01:39 AM

    Today's strip was brought to you by the good folks at Crotchley Labs, which we haven't seen in a while. (See three earlier strips, here: 1, 2, and 3).

    I love the idea that, in the Sheldon universe, Crotchley Labs really did exist in the 1950's. It's a theme we might see more of in the strip someday.

    Also! Peeps! I have yet to celebrate an Easter where *somebody* didn't bust out these chalkboard-tasting candy. And I never learn. Ever year I try one, and every year they taste like foot.

    So here's hoping your Easter is a Peeps-free day!
