Anatomy of a Mutt

Daily strip for December 5, 2024

Sheldon cartoons are hung in LA galleries, in the main lobby of Google, and in hundreds of homes around the world. And here's your chance to get an original Sheldon of your very own!

Each cartoon is a hand-drawn, hand-lettered, one-of-a-kind creation; drawn on acid-free Bristol Vellum cardstock using archival Faber-Castell and Micron pens. The originals are black-and-white, and commonly measure either 4 1/4" x 13 3/4" (for the horizontal strips), or 10"x13 3/4" (for the larger, double-tall strips). They frame up beautifully, and make any owner 26% better looking.

Note: Reproduction rights are not included in the sale of original Sheldon art. Only the cool awesomeness of owning your own original is for sale. And trust us: that's a lot of cool awesomeness.

Transcript and Description of the Comic: Title: The Highly Accurate & 100% Correct in Every Way: Anatomy of Dogs Subtitle: Anatomy of a Mutt Main Comic Text: • Top Left Corner (Pointing to a long-snouted dog with one ear up and one ear down.)
“A mutt is the Voltron of dogs. …A lot of weird parts coming together to make something awesome.” • Dog #1 (Pointing to a small dog with a long body and short legs):
"50% Dachshund
20% Weimaraner
15% Boxer
5% Great Dane
5% Cardboard box" • Center Dog (Pointing down to a small brown scruffy dog with big ears):
“Half Chihuahua, half German Shepherd… This dog results from a night of passion that involved yoga, advanced geometry, and a small step ladder.” • Top Right Corner (Pointing to a big yellow dog with a black face):
“Like an amazing meal that you randomly threw together from pantry scraps… a mutt is a once-in-a-lifetime bit of deliciousness.” • Bottom Right Corner (Near a fluffy brown and black dog):
“Could it be the case that the best dogs... are made of other dogs????” Image Description: The illustration humorously breaks down various types of mutts with exaggerated drawings. Each dog features unique physical traits clearly inspired by different breeds, and the descriptions emphasize the charm and randomness of mixed-breed dogs. The overall tone is lighthearted and whimsical. Footer: Want 5,000 more comics like this? Join us at Patreon.com/sheldoncomics for the FULL Sheldon archives, art giveaways, fun community, and more!
