-Read SHELDON- It's the LAW!

-If your baby could talk- they'd say READ ME SHELDON!

-Sheldon. Believe the hype.

What would Jesus do? He'd read Sheldon.

Make the tag line part of the drawing. If you do that, it should be the drawing of Flaco with his arms above his head and SQUEE! as was on the button.

Hey All!

I've just read through the preceding 5 pages of posts and I've got some thoughts that I thought I'd share.

The tag lines seem to split into different types:

1. too generic

if the tag line could apply to beer or washing powder, then it's probably a bit too general. And dull. Or cliche.

2. in jokes

I've been reading the comic for years so of course the characters are more than familiar, as well as the occasional trips into geekdom.

However, I'm presuming the tagline should be targeting non-readers?

3. wrong impressions

If the tagline only mentions pugs or Vulcans or geeks then I think that it misrepresents our beloved comic.

- So Finally:

I believe that the tagline should, in some neat and concise way, encapsulate what it is that makes Sheldon different - since many comics are essentially an amusing look at the world, are free, are read in the morning etc.

Sheldon's key values are about friendship. It's about your Grandad and your talking duck.

Whilst it *is* about a billionaire kid, the comic doesn't read as childish nor does it have that awful air of excessive money. So I think these aspects shouldn't make the tag line.

Of course, having said all this, I'm just as stumped as everyone else!

Good Luck!

(I'm still working on my taglines - they are still rubbish)

Well, with that being said, how 'bout

Sheldon - It's Differentâ„¢

LOL

No but seriously, I came up with some more:

"Sheldon - Not Your Grandparents' Webcomic"

"Sheldon - Bringing The Funny Since 2001"

"Sheldon - Funny. Free. But not Funny-free!"

"Sheldon - Read it, or else!"

Let's see, what can be written about Sheldon that would fully encompass all of what it means? The following post may be the answer.

Sheldon: The Only Way To Find Something Better is to Read it Twice.

I think that is pretty good.

Sheldon: A Squee a Day Keeps Depression at Bay.

If we're voting, I have to cast my ballot for "Sheldon: 100% Awesome Sauce" because a) that was my idea before I saw someone else had already come up with it, b) it's short, sweet and to the point, and c) it perfectly encapsulates the awesomeness that is Sheldon.

I'd also like to take this opportunity to beg for a Flaco shirt design. The recent yogi Flaco panel would be perfect! :-)
