PANEL 1: GANDALF the Grey Wizard from Lord of the Rings, stands in his cloak and hat, holding his staff. He looks kindly down at SAMWISE GAMGEE, holding BILL THE PONY’s head.

PANEL 1: In a grey, gloomy room, DUMBLEDORE, a wizard with a grey beard and heavy eyebrows, uses his wand to pull a bright blue memory out of his head, like the scene in Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. HARRY POTTER, a kid with a lightnight scar and round glasses, stands next to the Pensieve, looking at it concerned. The cool light from the Pensieve reflects on them both. DUMBLEDORE: Harry! In the battle against darkness, I have a key memory I must show you. PANEL 2: HARRY, still in the gloomy colors, peers in to a bubbly, swirly panel, the warm light of the scene reflects on his face. The grey color bleeds away to show bright, warm colors of the scene. In the scene is bright green grass, DUMBLEDORE in the background, eyes dilated, holding his hands up to his mouth that is clearly saying “ooh!”, with three hearts about his head. What he is looking at: A larger brown dog with floppy ears stands wide with his mouth open, while a small yellow dog stands on his back, one front leg and one back leg out, mouth open. It looks like they’re posing for something. No text. PANEL 3: HARRY pulls his head out of the Pensieve, back in the grey, gloomy room. DUMBLEDORE stands next to him, jazz-hands wide, eyes wide open, happy expression of his face. The warm glow of the memory shows on his face. HARRY: Professor, why was it important that I see— DUMBLEDORE: THEY WERE JUST STANDING THERE! UNPROMPTED! ——— 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: A man with spiky white hair and cream robes with a gold superman S on his chest, stands next to a blond woman wearing the same outfit. She holds a swaddled baby with a blue pacifier in it’s mouth. The man holds up a glowing green crystal. MAN: Dear wife, look! My 18 months of work are done! I designed this one tiny crystal to hold ALL of Krypton’s knowledge! PANEL 2: The man stands against a white background, still holding the green crystal. MAN: AND! I designed it to build a “fortress of solitude” out of nothing but ice! AND! I designed it with fully autonomous holograms of us! They can answer any question! PANEL 3: The man slaps his hand on a metal object next to him, which his wife looks on happily, holding the infant. MAN: AND! It slots right into this interstellar starship I designed to go to Earth! WOMAN: And you designed it with three seats, right? PANEL 4: The man bites his lower lip, eyes wide in regret. His wife yells at him. WOMAN: …YOU DESIGNED IT WITH THREE SEATS, RIGHT?!? ——— 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: ARTHUR, a yellow duck, sits under a tree reading “The Hobbit”. SHELDON, a ten-year-old boy with giant glasses, lays on the grass beside him, resting his eyes, hands behind his head. ARTHUR: How did Hobbits build their houses? SHELDON: I suppose they dug a hole…then built inside the hole? PANEL 2: Close up on ARTHUR, holding the book with his feet. ARTHUR: Yeah, but you saw how GREEN the shire is. That place gets a ton of rain. Into loose soil! How you gonna keep that water out? PANEL 3: ARTHUR stands up, peering over the book. ARTHUR: Those houses are wood and stone and plaster! Even if you used a ton of tar and French drains, that’s gonna leak like a sieve! PANEL 4: ARTHUR, standing over the book, looks over at SHELDON who responds, his eyes still closed. ARTHUR: Tolkien did NOT talk enough about water mitigation in the Shire. SHELDON: The big threat in the Hobbit isn’t the black riders. It’s BLACK MOLD. —— Want 5,000 more comics like this?

PANEL 1: SHELDON, a ten-year old boy stands in a doorway, as ARTHUR, a yellow duck, sits at a computer on a desk. ARTHUR: It’s crazy to think birds like the bald eagle and California condor almost went extinct. PANEL 2: Close up at ARTHUR, at the computer, who has turned to look at SHELDON (off panel), his eyebrow raised. ARTHUR: In the 1960’s and 70’s…they were down to a fe last birds. People thought they’d be forever gone from this earth…NEVER TO RETURN. PANEL 3: Back to the scene where SHELDON stands in the doorway.
