The comic features a heartfelt poem written in a handwritten style on parchment-like paper. Below the poem, SHELDON (a 10-year old boy with large glasses) sits on a rocky hilltop, gazing at the sunset with ARTHUR, his loyal yellow duck. They share a warm moment of companionship, with ARTHUR leaning into SHELDON’s side. The colors are rich and serene, emphasizing the emotional tone of the poem. Transcript: YOU ARE NOT ALONE IN THIS The nighttimes where you've turned and tossed,
The daytime battles fought and cost,
The roads you've walked,
The fears you've fought,
The price you paid, so dearly bought,
Is fought the same,
Is walked as well,
Is paid as dearly, plain to tell,
By all those moving on this earth
From their first day of hard-won birth.
This world is hard: its eases, few
And all lives feel it, same as you.
So let one thought invest your mind
To every human life you find:
They're just as pained, they're just as blind
Their burdens are as much a grind. My friends,
We cannot say it enough times:
