I like these:

I think this one represents the dorky (ie cool) nature that strip sometimes has

And ive always liked this one

One that you dont have to know alot about the strip (like having to explain a talking duck and smart lizard son), just a good'n

Tough to find one that represents the whole awesomeness of the strip thats not already gone.

This strip is classic Sheldon.

Crud, all the ones I thought of have been purchased.

This has ALWAYS been one of my favorites, I've just always been too broke to buy it for myself. AND I'm ALWAYS surprised no one has bought this one yet. I also ALWAYS show this one to all my friends as an introduction to Sheldon already, and it seems to work pretty good. [Man, I say ALWAYS a lot, don't I?? Geesch...]

You don't have to be familiar with all the characters, or the plots, it's just a PRETTY-STINKIN'-AMAZING STRIP!!!!

I always loved the thread where Arthur & Gramps want to help Sheldon cope w/ losing his parents and bring him some happiness for Christmas.

I think these two strips really show the strip's heart:

The second one in particular concisely summarizes the strip, and yet, is still pretty funny.

In the same thread, this strip also expresses the fun geekiness of Sheldon:

Any of them would represent Sheldon well...

2002-02-16 [sheldoncomics.com] - buying Ecuador
Second that!

I also vote for 2-16-02, Ecuador - it's hilarious and it represents the spirit of Sheldon perfectly!

I second (third?) the nomination for the "Purchase of Ecuador" [sheldoncomics.com] strip.

However, I'd nominate the "Drawing Hope" [sheldoncomics.com] strip. Sheldon doesn't appear on this strip, though.

I'll keep thinking; there's gotta be a more "Sheldonistic" strip in the archives.

Wait, wait, wait! As much as I love the "Hope" strip, I've stumbled across two strips.

I like this one [sheldoncomics.com] (and Sheldon appears in it).

But, really. Nerdiness, dinosaurs and feathers come together in this strip [sheldoncomics.com].

Hands down, the most "Sheldonic" strip around.

Best one I have bookmarked:

This is a good one 6-15-08; great subject for the museum, great art, and a classic punchline at the end.

Lewis and Clark even have history with the Ohio River, perfect subject for the Ohio State Cartoon Library and Museum.

Okay, I had to create an account to comment on this one. I can't believe no one's bought this already: 11/02/08 [sheldoncomics.com]

It is one of my all-time favorites, and I think it represents the strip perfectly. I would have bought it myself if I weren't a poor student. :)

Here are two other favorites:

07/01/09 [sheldoncomics.com]

I think this is a great example of the whimsy and non-sequitur mind of Sheldon and Arthur. I think it captures what it's like to be a kid.

good one of the family.

How about http://www.sheldoncomics.com/archive/061116.html? Not only does it included three of your most beloved characters, but it includes a discussion about two other well known and iconic cartoon characters. The irony of the discussion itself would be an excellent lead-in for the museum to give a synopsis of your characters and their development throughout the strip's history (assuming that they are planning to devote an entire exhibit to Sheldon - which of course that should!). Congrats on the honour.

I don't know... I kind of like this one from way back in the day.

Of course, Peru isn't as funny as Ecuador...

Although, I did notice that the museum is on the OSU campus. Perhaps a strip from 4 Foodgroups with a witty ND reference would be appropriate?

I second the Peru strip! I think it's even better than the Ecuador one in fact

gotta go with T [sheldoncomics.com], if only for the disparity between T's mournful pity, and Arthur's joy about the pity.
