The Hodgepodge Dog Lodge 15 - 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: OSO, the fawn pug, stands in the door way talking to DIGBY, the brown dachshund.
OSO: The human said they were gone for six minutes.
DIGBY: Six minutes? or SIX YEARS??

PANEL 2: They continue talking, a little shaken.
OSO: How do you now the diffference?
DIGBY: EXACTLY. I don’t even remember when they left. I just remember the utter ABANDONMENT.

PANEL 3: Close up on OSO.
OSO: I know only two times: the snugs… and the WAITING for snugs.

PANEL 4: Back to both of them, both looking horrified.
OSO: I’ll be honest: every time they walk out the door, I just assume THAT’S IT. We had a good run.
DIGBY: It ages me, emotionally. It’s why I bark.

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!
