You Not There - Sheldon® Comic Strip

PANEL 1: OSO, a fawn pug, stands at a window with his paws on the glass, facing away from the viewer.
NARRATION: I look out window. Stare and stare. To look for you. But you not there.

PANEL 2: From outside the house, looking in the window, we see OSO looking outside, with on ear up.
NARRATION: Did that car stop? My ears go fast. No, that not you. …That hope go past.

PANEL 3: From behind OSO’s head, we see a man walking down a sidewalk. Green grass and bushes in front of a fence, with a bird on it.
NARRATION: I see a peoples! They not you. And then a bird. (It not you, too.)

PANEL 4: The front door has opened and GRAMP, seen from chest down, walks in with a grocery bag in one hand, with other hand giving a thumbs up. OSO prances next to him, gleefully looking up at GRAMP. A heart and excited lines emanate from his head.
NARRATION: But then you home! Oh joyous joy! I WAS SO BRAVE. The goodest boi.
