Sheldon® Comic Strip - Daily webcomic by Dave Kellett

PANEL 1:
NARRATION: Most of the time, Pacman eats stale, boring, run-of-the-mill “dots”
This panel shows the classic screen of the Pacman video game, with blue wall borders, pale orange dots, and the bright yellow pacman with mouth open.

PANEL 2:
NARRATION: But every once in a while, he gets a taste for a power pellet
This panel shows a close up of Pacman, mouth open, with two small dots in front of him, followed by a large pale orange dot.

PANEL 3:
NARRATION: And he goes absolutely bonkers, chasing down anything he can eat in a crazed state.
This panel shows Packman, with excited lines exuding from his head, with two small dots in front on him. In front of those dots are two ghosts - one red, one blue - with eyes wide looking at Pacman.

PANEL 4:
NARRATION: This is a metaphor for your dog getting even the tiniest sliver of salmon
This panel shows GRAMP, an older bald man with a grey mustache, and SHELDON, a ten year old boy with large glasses, sitting at a table with salmon, mashed potatoes and peas on the plates in front of them. OSO, the fawn pug, has his feet on the edge of the table, poking his eyes and nose over the edge, his ears sticking straight up.
SHELDON: Uh-oh. He’s got “THE EYES.”

PANEL 1: GRAMP, an older bald man with a grey mustache, stands in an olive green shirt, a slight smile on his face, eyes closed, fingers twirling in the air. A few music notes float in the air while a light dusting of snow falls.
NARRATION: Playing any Christmas song

The scene is extremely festive.

This single-panel comic portrays a closet door open, inside a pile of boxes with various things piles high and tight. We see a broom, an umbrella, a ball, a vaccuum, a shirt… in front of the door ARTHUR the yellow duck stands, eyes wide.
TITLE: We Might Need It
POEM:
There is a box
that’s packed in a box
way back
at the back
of a closet

And inside this box
that sits in a box
is another small box
of deposit

It won’t be removed,
not for years, ’til “the move”,
way back
at the back
of the closet

But then
they’ll take stock
of these boxes of box
and at that point
they’ll finally
toss it

Alt Text Transcript of the Comic: The comic features an outdoor nighttime scene of a dumpster illuminated by a single overhead lamp. It shows a group of raccoons peeking out from or standing on a green dumpster filled with trash bags and garbage. A rat holding a staff like the character Rafiki stands beside one raccoon,. The tone of the comic is humorous, parodying a famous line from The Lion King. Text in the Comic: • A raccoon stands on the edge of the dumpster, holding up a baby raccoon dramatically.  "LOOK, SIMBA!" "EVERYTHING THE LIGHT TOUCHES IS OUR KINGDOM." • Two raccoons poke their heads out of the garbage inside the dumpster, and another raccoon peers cautiously around the back edge of the dumpster. They all seem to be part of this "kingdom." Closing Note: Want 5,000 more comics like this? Join us at Patreon.com/sheldoncomics for the FULL Sheldon archives, art giveaways, fun community, and more!
