A Well Balanced Meal

This will be a treat for one true-blue fan of the strip: It's the first appearance of Sheldon anywhere!

Sheldon, you see, originally appeared as one of four characters in my college strip, "Four Food Groups of the Apocalypse." That strip was collected into book form in 1996, titled "A Well Balanced Meal." You can see Sheldon on the cover, there:

4,000 copies were printed up, but sold out pretty quickly...and remaining copies are very hard to find -- even for me! But I recently found a few pristine, pristine copies, and decided to part with one.

So if you're interested in it, I started the bidding at $.01, as I'd rather have you guys decide what it's worth. And if you'd like, I'm happy to put a signed, personalized sketch in there for you.

I still have my copy from college!! So glad I picked one up at the time. My favorite strip you ever did (don't think it's in the book, I can't remember) was "Different Majors at Finals Time" - I just loved how you depicted all the different majors and how you had a Business major (like myself!) hanging out at the bar saying "I don't know what all the fuss is about" or something like that!

Sorry Dave, would totally be bidding on this but found a copy on Amazon a few months ago for $30, signed too, would have preferred the money going to you but as you say hard to find copies.

Very good book, like the art style and humor, and a few strips are very very simular to later sheldon strips. If you cant plagerise your self who can you :)
