Anatomy of a Phoenix - Sheldon® Comic Strip

TITLE: Anatomy of Monster: Anatomy of a Phoenix

DESCRIPTION: A bird made of fire stretches his flame-wings out as he rises (or falls) into a pile of ash. Her eyes are wide and her beak open, a crown of flames above her head.

JOKES:
- Takes “New year, new you” way too literally.
- Wrote a self-help book called “HAVE YOU TRIED BURSTING INTO FLAMES?”
- It’s not good for your mental health when every problem CAN be fixed by starting a fire and walking away.
- If rage quitting had plummage.
- Just like the CITY OF PHOENIX, they both get so hot that you just want to dissolve into ash and die.
- Gang, Phoenix menopause is no joke.
- Legally “Dies” any time they turn to ash, so credit card bills mean NOTHING to them.
- The only creature whose retirement plan is becoming a toddler.
- Every breakup is extraordinarily dramatic. It’s like ten days of Fire, Ash, Rebirth…Fire, Ash, Rebirth.
- Comes in “Original” and “Extra, Extra, EXTRA crispy.”
