PANEL 1: ARTHUR, a yellow duck, stands next to GRAMP, an older man with a grey mustache. GRAMP holds a coffee cup, and wears a grey tshirt and dark blue sweats. GRAMP: Some people put so much EFFORT into fashion. I couldn’t care less about all that. It feels like the least interesting way to express yourself. PANEL 2: ARTHUR leans in, reacting to what GRAMP said. ARTHUR: Really? You don’t care about making a statement? So…what’s your fashion philosophy? What’s your GOAL with clothes? PANEL 3: ARTHUR stares at GRAMP blankly as GRAMP sips his coffee. GRAMP: To… not be nude…? ——— Want 5,000 more comics like this?

PANEL 1: A cartoon of DAVE, the cartoonist, shows a nervous looking man in glasses. DAVE: I HATE massages. PANEL 2: DAVE holds his hands up gesturing while he explains. DAVE: The idea of a stranger all up in my bidness? That’s the opposite of relaxation. PANEL 3: DAVE holds his arms out straight, keeping an invisible person at bay. DAVE: In fact, I would pay a stranger GOOD MONEY to stay the heck away from my body. PANEL 4: A darkly lit room with drapes in the background. Two masseuses stand next to DAVE who stands behind a table with candles lit. DAVE holds a handful of cash, motions to the door. DAVE: Here’s $40, go see a movie. I’ll stay here and listen to the bad Enya music by myself. ——— Want 5,000 more comics like this?

PANEL 1: ARTHUR, a yellow duck, stands on green grass with a brown fence behind him. Green bushes stick up from behind the fence. The sky is blue. Next to him walks in the San Diego Comic-Con EYEBALL logo - in square in grey tones that is an eye and an eyebrow, but this one has hands and feet and a little nose to personify it. ARTHUR recoils in fear. ARTHUR: M’AAAAH! What are YOU? EYEBALL: Hi! I’m the San Diego Comic-Con EYEBALL! PANEL 2: Same scene, ARTHUR has calmed a bit but is still confused. ARTHUR: The Eyeball? EYEBALL: Yeah. The logo for the show. I represent the MOOD of Comic-con. PANEL 3: Same scene, ARTHUR leans in, asking his question. ARTHUR: And…what’s the MOOD of Comic-Con? EYEBALL: “Quietly judging your cosplay choices.” ——— Want 5,000 more comics like this? Join us at Patreon.com/sheldoncomics for the *FULL* Sheldon archives, art giveaways, fun community, and more!

PANEL 1: Two armored knights stand facing each other. One holds up a flower. The other crosses his arms on top of his sword. TEXT: Holding a talisman of peace was important in the ancient world. It said “EXISTENCE is our shared enemy, not one another. See? I have no weapon in my hand. We won’t fight, because I hold this object.” PANEL 2: A grumpy looking bald man with a messenger bag slung over his shoulder walks past a grumpy looking woman with curly blond hair, wearing a brown purse on her shoulder. Behind them in silhouette is a crowd of people. Both grumpy people hold a cup of coffee up over their head, as a talisman. —— Want 5,000 more comics like this?

PANEL 1: Against a bright blue sky, a wood fence with a bush behind it, and green grass: a tennis ball flies through the air. DANTE, a young boy wearing a blue baseball hat, has his arm outstretched having just thrown the ball. ARTHUR, a yellow duck, is running towards DANTE, looking at the ball, as if he just missed it. ARTHUR: So you’re saying there’s a difference between “monkey in the middle” and “keep away”? PANEL 2: SHELDON, a ten-year old boy with large glasses, has his arm outstretched just having thrown the ball back to DANTE (off panel). The ball flies through the air. ARTHUR runs towards SHELDON, looking back at the ball. SHELDON: Yeah: “monkey in the middle” is two kids keeping a ball from one kid, while “keep away” is two teams keeping the ball away from each other. PANEL 3: ARTHUR runs back towards DANTE, again the ball sails through the air as DANTE has just thrown it back to SHELDON (off-panel). ARTHUR runs towards DANTE, once again looking back at the ball as it flies away from him. ARTHUR: But in BOTH cases, its just kids being massive jerks. DANTE: oh a thousand percent. ——— Want 5,000 more comics like this? Join us at Patreon.com/sheldoncomics for the *FULL* Sheldon archives, art giveaways, fun community, and more!

PANEL 1: Three kids sip happily from glasses with chocolate milk. SHELDON, the ten year old boy with large glasses, is in the middle, holding his glass up with a big smile. TEXT: It’s weird that CHOCOLATE MILK is socially acceptable only for kids. PANEL 2: Two elderly folks - a tall thin bald man and a short woman with grey curly hair - hold steaming mugs. TEXT: But HOT CHOCOLATE is ok for all ages. PANEL 3: Two adults sip mugs (ostensibly filled with hot chocolate) next to a window with snowflakes drifting down. Next to them is a weird looking guy wearing a fur-lined wool hat with ear flaps, sipping on a glass of chocolate milk. TEXT: All you’ve done is add heat. And dignity. —— 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.
