Cutie Mark - Sheldon® Comic Strip

PANEL 1: SHELDON, a ten-year old boy with large glasses, walks alongside ARTHUR, a yellow talking duck. The sky is blue, the bushes and grass is green, and a wood fence runs in the background.
ARTHUR: Can a my little pony NOT follow their cutie mark?
SHELDON: Can a what do a what with their what??

PANEL 2: Close up on ARTHUR, the wood fence in the background.
ARTHUR: My little ponies. They get a “cutie mark” on their butt, which tells them their purpose in life. So…if you get an apple, you become an apple farmer with a name like “Apple Fritter”.

PANEL 3: SHELDON now walks ahead of ARTHUR, confused. ARTHUR continues to talk.
SHELDON: …ok.
ARTHUR: But what happens if they DON’T want to own an apple farm? What if they want to become a financial advisor?

PANEL 4: SHELDON is now on board, ARTHUR animated continues his point.
SHELDON: Ultimately, it’s a question of pony predestination or pony free will?
ARTHUR: “MOMMM! I HATE APPLES! I WANT TO DO ESTATE PLANNING!”
