Private Acts - Sheldon® Comic Strip

PANEL 1: GRAMP, an older bald man with a grey mustache, walks across the street holding the leash with OSO, a fawn pug, running at the other end. In the background is a house with a green lawn and a sidewalk. In front of them is a patch of grass next to another sidewalk, and a tree.
GRAMP: Ugggh. Every morning that we walk by this house, you can hear someone taking a shower.

PANEL 2: GRAMP walks OSO, grimacing, as he passes by a small open window on a dark grey house.
GRAMP: The house is RIGHT NEXT to the sidewalk…and the window is open…and it’s all just way TOO CLOSE!

PANEL 3: Closer up on GRAMP, the open window behind him.
GRAMP: I DON’T LIKE IT. It feels like I”m witnessing a profoundly private act that I shouldn’t!

PANEL 4: GRAMP has stopped while OSO lifts his leg against a tree, pulling GRAMP’s arm across him. GRAMP furrows his eyebrows in realization as to what’s happening.
GRAMP: Well, IN FOR A PENNY…

Alt Text Transcript of the Comic: The comic features an outdoor nighttime scene of a dumpster illuminated by a single overhead lamp. It shows a group of raccoons peeking out from or standing on a green dumpster filled with trash bags and garbage. A rat holding a staff like the character Rafiki stands beside one raccoon,. The tone of the comic is humorous, parodying a famous line from The Lion King. Text in the Comic: • A raccoon stands on the edge of the dumpster, holding up a baby raccoon dramatically.  "LOOK, SIMBA!" "EVERYTHING THE LIGHT TOUCHES IS OUR KINGDOM." • Two raccoons poke their heads out of the garbage inside the dumpster, and another raccoon peers cautiously around the back edge of the dumpster. They all seem to be part of this "kingdom." Closing Note: Want 5,000 more comics like this? Join us at Patreon.com/sheldoncomics for the FULL Sheldon archives, art giveaways, fun community, and more!
