Dave's Faves - Alexandria - Sheldon® Comic Strip

This single panel comic portrays a scene of a burned down building made from marble columns. Smoking piles of ash pile up in the background. At a marble table we see two men, a short man with a chin beard cringes, next to a tall bald man with a bushy, grey beard. They both wear white togas. Next to them is a poster with an image of the short man holding an armful of scrolls and holding a torch that reads “Take your torch to work day!”

The short man says: I’ll be the first to say it… NOT MY BEST IDEA.

The title under the comic reads: The Librarian of Alexandria.

GRAMP is sitting in a brown chair, talking to ARTHUR, a yellow duck. PANEL 1 GRAMP: I’ve had 65 “New Years” now. When I was a boy, I’d try SO HARAD to stay up ’til 12… but end up falling’ asleep on the couch in my PJ’s. ARTHUR looks at him silently. PANEL 2 GRAMP: In my 29’s I’d stay out ’til four and party it up. PANEL 3 GRAMP: In my 30’s and 40’s, I’d put the kids to bed and watch the ball drop on TV. PANEL 4 GRAMP: In my 50’s, I’d go to friend’s cocktail parties and chat about my kids. PANEL 5 GRAMP: And now, at 65, I’m back to falling’ asleep at 8 in my PJ’s. ARTHUR: So you’re defining “PJ’s” as “Boxers and a Bathrobe”? Want 5,000 more comics like this?
