Dave's Faves - Tomato Plants - Sheldon® Comic Strip

PANEL 1: GRAMP, an older man with a grey mustache, stands with his hands on his hips, wearing a wide straw sun hat and gardening gloves. ARTHUR, a yellow duck, stands next to him. They both gaze at two withering plants.
GRAMP: I don’t know why my tomato plants aren’t producing.

PANEL 2: Close up on GRAMP, as he motions to about a foot distance between his fingers.
GRAMP: I planted each one with the perfect amount of fertilizer! And at the perfect depth! With perfect spacing!

PANEL 3: No text. GRAMP, with his hands on on his lower back and ARTHUR, continue looking at the plants.

PANEL 4: ARTHUR responds calmly, while GRAMP motions dramatically.
ARTHUR: And then proceeded to ignore them for eight weeks.
GRAMP: I DID EVERYTHIGN RIGHT! …for the first hour.
