Anatomy of a Centaur - Sheldon® Comic Strip

TITLE: Anatomy of Monsters: Anatomy of a Centaur

DESCRIPTION: A clydesdale-like half horse, half man stands on a patch of grass. His furry hooves are white, his horse hide is brown. His black tail is elaborately braided with gold rings. His human skin is darker to match his horse-hide. His curly hair is black and his eye brows are heavy.

JOKES:
- He’s his own emotional support animal.
- Will quote Plato while simultaneously crying to bite a sugar cube out of your hand.
- A centaur perfectly represents the DUALITY OF MAN: Capable of art and poetry and science! …but also smells generally like a barn.
- Everyone in math hates when he starts stamping out answers.
- (Arrows pointing to head and body): 10% Athenian philosophy, 90% Spartan a**-whoopin’
- Constantly standing in the THE ROCK’s go-to mirror pose.
- (Points at the body) Just image the horror-show that is his x-ray. Two ribcages! A spine like an M.C. Escher drawing! And a digestive tract that reads like Ulysses!
- (Pointing at butt) “Looking for a partner who likes long walks on the beach…and who also owns a shovel.”
- “Look out, Shpider-man! It’s the Galloping Gladiator! The Hooved Harbinger of Havoc! The Half-Man, Half-Hay-Eater! It’s Mischief’s Mane event… THE SHENTAUR!” - Stan Lee, pitching a new villain
