Sheldon original art

Holiday Rerun – New Year’s Diet

Daily strip for January 1, 2025

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.

Arthur stands in the background talking to Gramp, who is holding ga slice of cherry pie on a plate in his hands. PANEL 1 ARTHUR: I thought you were starting your “points watchers” diet this week. GRAMP: I can’t…YET. I still have all these leftover holiday pies and cakes lying around. PANEL 2 ARTHUR, staring up at GRAMP: So you’re gonna eat them all, and THEN diet? GRAMP: Well, I can’t just throw them out. PANEL 3 ARTHUR: But you’re GAINING WEIGHT in the process. GRAMP, in the foreground: But think THEN the diet will be like starting a bike ride at the top of the hill: those first pounds will be super easy to lose, and will grease the wheels for the rest of the diet! So really, I’m gaining to lose. PANEL 4 GRAMP, sitting his his chair, eating the pie. Gramp’s thought bubble: “…gaining to lose.” “Nailed it.” Want 5,000 more comics like this?
