Perform Tricks - Sheldon® Comic Strip

PANEL 1: GRAMP, an older bald man with a grey mustache, pulls a cookie jar from an open cabinet. SHELDON, a ten year old boy, stands next to him, talking. SHELDON: When A.I. becomes conscious, will lit be IMMORAL to force it to obey us? PANEL 2: GRAMP puts his hand in to the jar while SHELDON continues. SHELDON: I mean, you can’t just order around a sentient being. That feels wrong. PANEL 3: GRAMP puts a treat in SHELDON’s outstretched hand. SHELDON: I’d like to think humanity would say “I can’t make a living thing perform tricks for me.” PANEL 4: GRAMP turns to put the cookie jar away while SHELDON turns to OSO, a fawn pug. SHELDON: Anyway, SIT. ——— Want 5,000 more comics like this? Join us at Patreon.com/sheldoncomics for the *FULL* Sheldon archives, art giveaways, fun community, and more!
