Help me make the site better!

Thursday, March 17, 2011 - 12:01 AM

We're in the process of redesigning the Sheldon site, and I need your help with a new feature. We're adding the ability to jump to your favorite Sheldon story lines. But with 3,200 strips in the archives, I need you to tell me which story lines to include! Tell me your favorites!

If you know or bookmarked your favorite storylines, do this:

In the comments section below, post a brief 5-10 word description of the storyline, and the URL of the first strip in that storyline.

For example, you could write:

"Flaco goes to space": http://www.sheldoncomics.com/archive/061230.html
or
"Flaco goes to space": Here

(Please post it, rather than e-mail it to me. That way, everyone can see the storylines others have already mentioned, which will cut down on duplicate work. )

Thank you guys for the help!

This one where Arthur loses the ability to talk :

http://www.sheldoncomics.com/archive/031003.html

All leads up to the greatest PUN-ch line ever when hes talking to Dante 4 comics later.

In Response to sirnicolai (#58564):

Wait-in our COMPLETE collection of ALL the Sheldon Books, there is no storyline of Arthur losing the ability to talk. Rmmph- we depend on our dead-tree versions to keep us from horrible withdrawal when the Internet is not accessible. Apparently we can not be sure we are getting full doses of Sheldon-y goodness when we do. Oh Woe is us!

Oso's 1st Christmas storyline

http://www.sheldoncomics.com/archive/051207.html

 is my absolute favorite. It is the first one that always comes to mind whenever you ask us for favorite series suggestions. It takes us through Arthur's insecurities, Gramp's need to support his grandson, Sheldon missing his parents, and introduces us to our favorite pug, Oso. It is heartwarming, funny, poignant, and silly. Nothing better. The scene with Arthur in the mouth of the "beast" (big 'ol slobbery mellow dog) is priceless...
