Sheldon: Helping Kids Learn To Talk

Thursday, September 10, 2009 - 11:56 PM

Sheldonista Bethany L. sent in this awesome story:

Hey Dave,

I just had to pass this story on to you, as it turns out your comic is directly linked to my son's first full sentence!

Last Thursday morning as I was getting my 19 month old son ready for the day, he said, clear as a bell, "I see a duck!" For the life of me I couldn't figure out where he saw this duck, since we were staying in a small, open-air rustic cabin at a camp on Catalina at the time. We hadn't seen any ducks for days, although we had seen several deer, a couple woodpeckers, a fox, and a few fish. So I asked him, "where do you see the duck? I don't see a duck." And he replied "shirt, Mama!" I looked down, and sure enough, I was wearing my "Lucky Duck" t-shirt, and there was Arthur. I then proceeded to educate him that this was no ordinary duck, but Arthur, and he now can identify Arthur, Sheldon, and Flaco. Still working on the other characters...but hopefully by the time he's 2 we'll have another Sheldon fan!

That has me beaming, Bethany! Thank you for sending that story in!

Detailed Strip Info


strip info approved by Molly
Panel Dialogue Location Props
1 ARTHUR (talking to Sheldon): I just realized something: Fantasy Football is Dungeons and Dragons for guys who'd never willingly play D&D.
SHELDON (grinning, talking to Arthur): ha ha ha... Better yet, it's more like Pokémon: you get your little men, memorize their little stats, and watch them fight their little fights.
THE POND (almost empty)
  • Water
2 ARTHUR (grinning, talking to Sheldon): Then you dress up in team colors and paint up your "War Belly"
SHELDON (grinning, talking to Arthur): EXACTLY. Same thing as dressin' up as Pikachu or a Klingon.
THE POND (almost empty)
  • Water
3 ARTHUR (grinning, talking to Sheldon): Fantasy Football: Just another ring in the Great Chain of Nerdery.
SHELDON (grinning)
THE POND (almost empty)
  • Water
