Dichromatic - Sheldon® Comic Strip

PANEL 1: OSO, a fawn pug, stands on a grassy field under a peaceful tree. A cloud hangs in the sky. The coloring of the panel is a little off - all the reds have been removed so the sky is slightly purple and OSO is greener than normal.
NARRATION: Dogs’ eyes are dichromatic: They only see the world in Yellow and Blue.

PANEL 2: OSO (colored normally) squints with on ear pointing up. The background is filled with blurry specs of light.
NARRATION TEXT: And their vision is BLURRIER: what you see clearly at 75 feet, would be blurry to a dog at 30 feet.

PANEL 3: SHELDON, a ten-year old boy with large glasses, fills up a bathtub. While the water fills the bathtub from the faucet, SHELDON holds his hand next to his mouth to indicate yelling.
NARRATION TEXT: So, they just have worse vision than humans do. Which might explain why they don’t come when you call them at bath time.

PANEL 4: SHELDON peaks out from the bathroom door, while in the foreground OSO cringes, looking behind his should, eyes wide.
SHELDON: Hey!
OSO, in thought: I CAN’T SEE YOU I CAN’T SEE YOU THIS ISN’T HAPPENING I CAN’T SEE YOU
