The
Story
Sheldon is a sarcastic,
nerdy family strip filled with pop-culture references and fun, random
storylines. At its center is this weird, wonderful little family:
a boy, his duck, and the grandfather that raises them both. It's
a strip of geeks, for geeks, drawn by a geek. You'll dig it:
trust us.
The
Cast
| Sheldon: He's
a ten-year-old kid who earned billions with his own software
company: Sheldonsoft. Though his huge riches occasionally tempt
him into buying something frivolous like, say, Panama, Sheldon
remains pretty much a normal kid. (Although he does tend to
go into little nerd comas over anything sci-fi related.) |
 |
Arthur: Arthur
learned to talk when Sheldon downloaded some speech-recognition
software into his head. He's been trouble ever since. Sarcastic
and cocky, Arthur's constantly getting into trouble at home
and at the Sheldonsoft offices. Unlike Sheldon, he's captivated
with the Sheldonsoft billions, and constantly has visions of
shopping sprees at The Sharper Image. |
 |
|
| Gramp: Sheldon
is raised by his grandfather, a warm-hearted guy who's not quite
sure what to make of his grandson's billions. Now retired, Gramp
tries to keep up with the modern world, only to find that the
main challenge of his golden years is fitting into his slacks. |
 |
Oso: Sheldon's
wild 'n woolly pug, Oso will sleep on most any surface when
he's not actively destroying the house. Like most pugs, Oso
is two enchiladas short of the combo plate. |
 |
|
| Flaco: Flaco
is a standard North American lizard and, more disturbingly,
Arthur-the-duck's "son,"
after a mistaken egg-hatching. Though he doesn't talk,
Flaco exhibits a quiet sort of brilliance. |
 |
Dante: Sheldon's
not-too-bright friend Dante is up for most any adventure.
He's a bit of an artist, or tries to be. |
