The Hodgepodge Dog Lodge 14 - Sheldon® Comic Strip

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

PANEL 1: A man with curly blonde hair walks through a door. The pomeranian, great dane, pug and dachshund greet him with large excited eyes.
MAN: Hi pups! I’m back! Sorry I had to step out!
Dogs; bark bark bark!

PANEL 2: The man bends down to pet the fluffy chow-chow. The black scruffy dog with a pink bow in his hair looks on happily.
MAN: ha ha ha did you miss me?
Dogs: bar bark bark!

PANEL 3: Close up on the man, who looks horrified.
MAN: But…I… I was only gone…

PANEL 4: Over the man’s shoulder we see the room - it’s a mess. Overturned trash can, box of dog food on it’s side, with a rug under it that’s crumpled up. A table is overturned. There are paw prints and other marks on the walls and floor. There’s a puddle on the floor. The pug, dachshund, great dane, and pomeranian stand amongst the mess, excited.
MAN: for six minutes.

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!
