Anytime we get a peek at the way Arthur and Flaco act when no one else is around…always makes me smile.

I got a great note from Sheldon reader Mike M., yesterday:

Dave,

Every year my wife and I get each other Valentine presents that are somewhat typical, somewhat not. We make ONE rule though; no flowers. ….Look what she got me.

I love it.

Ha! Thanks, Mike! Them chocolates knock it up significantly over 62%, in my book.

Don’t get me wrong, I loves me some coffee. Loves it more than most.

But DANG, it’d have to be an AWFULLY rough morning for me to reach for the distinctive blend of “Kopi Luwak”.

Alternate taglines:

– Kopi Luwak: It gets you comin’ and goin’.

– Kopi Luwak: Tastes good in your belly, ’cause it’s already been in someone else’s.

– Kopi Luwak: Nature’s Brew

– Kopi Luwak: Surely, surely this a big joke, right?

– Kopi Luwak: Because you’ve already tried that “pumpkin latte” atrocity at Starbucks…so what the heck.

Sheldonista David M. sent in this shot, and I had to share it with you. It’s perfect for playing the ages-old game, “Spot the Arthur in Old, Poured Asphalt”.

It’s pretty good, isn’t it? Thanks, David!

Oh! Also! For those curious: I did a rough estimate of how many pages it’ll take me to finish the first “part” of the story (essentially, the first book) — and it looks like roughly 150 to 200 pages. So that means we’ll be wrapping up the first book around January 2013.

Lordy Lord!

A good while back, Ohio State asked me to donate a few pieces of Sheldon original art to their (fantastic) permanent collection at the Cartoon Library & Museum.

If you remember, I then asked you guys which cartoons you’d suggest I send: The strips that would best encapsulate the look/feel/theme(s) of the strip.

Well, here are the four I netted out with. I think they’re a pretty good representation of “Sheldon” in four strips! So thank you guys for your input — it was really, really helpful!
