COMIC TITLE: “The Hodgepodge Dog Lodge”
Logline: With no humans around, these dogs have to learn a new trick: RUNNING A KENNEL.

PANEL 1: HOTPOCKET, a white pomeranian, bounces next to OSO, a fawn pug. OSO has his paws on a window, looking outside.
HOTPOCKET: I miss my person! I feel so alone!
OSO: Me too! I’ve been staring out the window all day, counting how many cars that WEREN’T them!

PANEL 2: HOTPOCKET continues to bounce, and OSO has his paws on the window. Outside we see two lines of cars.
HOTPOCKET: I just wish they were here! SO we could be alone together!
OSO: (…but I only know two numbers.)

PANEL 3: HOTPOCKET continues to bounce, OSO turns, but keeps his paws on the window.
HOTPOCKET: I checked every room. Just in case they were hiding.
OSO: (…so it’s been “TWO” two cars.)

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!
