boof - Sheldon® Comic Strip

PANEL 1: GRAMP, an older bald man with a grey mustache, sits at a table with a laptop computer in front of him. NARRATION: Friends! Ever sit at your desk with tons of work to do, but you can’t be bothered to put in the effort? Try… THE BOOF! GRAMP: The WHAT? PANEL 2: OSO the fawn pug lays on the ground in front of a sliding glass door. On the other side of the door stands a squirrel, pausing in fear of being caught. OSO looks up, eyelids low, looking tired. He turns his head towards the squirrel but shows little effort. NARRATION: The Boof! It’s when a dog knows they should bark at something, but they have ZERO ENERGY for it. So it comes out like… OSO: boof. PANEL 3: GRAMP sits at the desk with his lap top, with fist to his mouth, eyes wide. NARRATION: NOW YOU’VE GOT IT! Time to tackle all those emails you have to respond to! GRAMP: boof. ——— Want 5,000 more comics like this? Join us at Patreon.com/sheldoncomics for the *FULL* Sheldon archives, art giveaways, fun community, and more! Sheldon Comics copyright Dave Kellett.

I, uh, got a seasonal job." 2 Panel 2: ◦ Arthur: "A job? I thought you were retired." ◦ Gramp: "My retirement accounts are a little thin at the moment, so I thought I'd earn some extra scratch." 3 Panel 3: ◦ Arthur: "Boy, that's gotta be a little sad, having to go back to work." ◦ Gramp, having hung up his Santa hat on a coat rack: "Nah... I like the work." 4 Panel 4: ◦ The coat rack is shown alone, with the Santa hat on top, and a white beard hanging below it, indicating Gramp’s seasonal job is playing Santa. Gramp, off screen: "...I feel like I'm laughing all day long."
