Superman's Parents - Sheldon® Comic Strip

PANEL 1: A man with spiky white hair and cream robes with a gold superman S on his chest, stands next to a blond woman wearing the same outfit. She holds a swaddled baby with a blue pacifier in it’s mouth. The man holds up a glowing green crystal.
MAN: Dear wife, look! My 18 months of work are done! I designed this one tiny crystal to hold ALL of Krypton’s knowledge!

PANEL 2: The man stands against a white background, still holding the green crystal.
MAN: AND! I designed it to build a “fortress of solitude” out of nothing but ice! AND! I designed it with fully autonomous holograms of us! They can answer any question!

PANEL 3: The man slaps his hand on a metal object next to him, which his wife looks on happily, holding the infant.
MAN: AND! It slots right into this interstellar starship I designed to go to Earth!
WOMAN: And you designed it with three seats, right?

PANEL 4: The man bites his lower lip, eyes wide in regret. His wife yells at him.
WOMAN: …YOU DESIGNED IT WITH THREE SEATS, RIGHT?!?
