Over Easter weekend, my 10-year old nephew Ben gave me a pretty awesome gift: Hand-drawn ("Not traced!" I was clearly told) pictures of all the Sheldon characters.
I would be remiss, as an uncle, if I didn't share a few of them with all of you. :)
ARTHUR (swimming): What's up with Greek last names? They're all fantastically convoluted.
SHELDON (in pond): I have a theory about that.

SHELDON: Early Greek culture was one of the first flowerings of language as an artform, right? They designed philosophy and democracy and theater with this gorgeous playground of WORDS.

ARTHUR: So??
SHELDON: So! That means they valued creativity and inventiveness in language! ...That must've extended to naming.

Greek: Hi! I'm Nick Jones.
Greek 2: C'mon man, we're Greek. You can do better than THAT.
Greek: Um... "Nick... Papahartofylakakopoulos"?*
Greek 2 (Giving Thumbs up sign): Nice. NARRATOR (Footnote): * Real name!
