| Sheldon (Webcomic) | comment |
Sheldon is a Webcomic following the day-to-day life of Sheldon, a billionaire Child Prodigy and Young Entrepreneur who started his own immensely successful software company. He's raised by his Grandpa, who isn't always sure how to deal with Sheldon's riches or nerdiness. They own various pets: Arthur the Wonder Duck, a Civilized Animal; Flaco, a Intellectual Animal lizard; and Oso, an unintelligent but enthusiastic dog. Sheldon's friend Dante is another recurring character.Dave Kellett, the author, also writes a scifi webcomic called Drive.In 2023 the vast majority of the comic archives became available only to Patreon supporters, so most of the links on this page are better reached through the Internet Archive. | |

Timmy in a Well | |
| Sheldon (Webcomic) / int_15070c2b | comment |
Timmy in a Well: Played with in one strip: Oso runs up to Sheldon, barking like crazy, and Sheldon jokingly ask whether Arthur fell down a well before dismissing the idea as a joke on the trope. The last panel shows that Arthur is indeed stuck in a dry well with a bucket pinning him down and wondering what's taking Oso so long to get help. | |

Calvinball | |
| Sheldon (Webcomic) / int_1667cb1 | comment |
Calvinball: One strip lampoons the tendency for kids' games to eventually become this. Sheldon and Dante start playing musical chairs, then begin to add a few new rules, like setting the chairs far apart so you have to run faster, and eventually the game includes things like Sheldon trying to hit people with a tennis ball launcher while wearing a crown and a "salmon of invincibility". Another example turns croquet into this. The details are deliberately obscure, but it involves swinging the mallet while hanging upside down from a tree... and shots are no good if you have pants on. A third strip combines the two previous strips. | |

Right Behind Me: Subverted in this strip. Sheldon is practicing how he'll say hello to the new girl in the neighborhood. Then Arthur coughs in order to make Sheldon believe that said new girl is standing right behind her. Actually, Flaco is - he and Arthur were just messing with Sheldon. | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall | |
| Sheldon (Webcomic) / int_1e7487cd | comment |
Breaking the Fourth Wall: This strip shows Gramp "behind the camera" and talking to the reader. Here, Arthur points out that his beak is rather flexible for something made of Keratin, then comments that it's like they're living in a cartoon... which makes Flaco very, very upset. This strip shows Sheldon and Arthur behind the camera, getting ready to "film" a new comic. We get to see Sheldon without his glasses - and it's revealed that Flaco can actually talk. | |

Furry Confusion | |
| Sheldon (Webcomic) / int_27a40541 | comment |
Furry Confusion: Lampshaded and parodied here in a strip involving Arthur, Flaco, and Oso. Several strips milk for humor Arthur's willingness to eat chicken & turkey or awkwardness over other people eating duck. Taken to a more serious spin in the 2-week-long owl arc, which happens when Arthur & Flaco treat a normal owl like a cartoon animal. | |

Evil Lawyer Joke | |
| Sheldon (Webcomic) / int_63c6a75c | comment |
Evil Lawyer Joke: A storyline in which Sheldon visits his corporate lawyers is pretty brutal towards lawyers. It culminates in a strip where Sheldon apologizes to the legal community for the jokes... because a lawyer won't stop poking him with a court summons. And the next day, a lawyer bills Sheldon just for walking by him. One also shows up in this strip. | |

Gilligan Cut: The comic has a contest to see who deserves to date a girl more, Sheldon or Dante. Arthur tells them that they're having trouble counting up the e-mail votes, but he's got "a crack team of high-tech experts working on it". Cut to Gramp working on it in the "Voting Headquarters". | |

Curse Cut Short: Involving a small bird perched on Arthur's beak.

Right before he can say the final word, the bird craps and flies away. | |

Take That! | |
| Sheldon (Webcomic) / int_b53077b3 | comment |
Take That!: This strip has Gramp celebrating the fact that he has never seen Cats on stage. In this strip, Arthur gets bent out-of-shape because Flaco watches Desperate Housewives. One of the first strips has Sheldon tell Dante that running a computer company is like growing a Chia Pet - "You start with a strong base of talent, sprinkle on good ideas, and you step back and watch the company grow!" To which Dante responds, "Into a lame gag gift?" The story arc about Sheldon meeting the Living Embodiment of Wikipedia is one long Take That! at The Other Wiki. This strip takes a slam at McDonald's by having Arthur claim that their "beef" is actually made from apes. This strip pokes fun at Steven Seagal. After erasing 75% of Arthur's brain in order to save it, Sheldon asks what the experience felt like. According to Arthur, not unlike watching FOX TV. Speaking of FOX TV, one storyline in which they want to make a TV movie about Sheldon is full of 'em. First, they want his character changed into a shapely blonde who likes jogging on the beach. Then a producer from the network shows up, and... well, to say anything else would spoil it. Arthur explains to Dante how to tell what's art and what's not art - "art" is anything people don't want to see (such as opera, poetry or a sculpture museum). Dante then asks this: Sheldon is hallucinating that Arthur is a giant marshmallow Peep. Gramp is throwing all of his hatred into the Yellowstone Hot Springs. "You know what movie I'm really looking forward to? Mission: Impossible 3." One storyline has Sheldon and Arthur going to see Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End... and hating it. This strip takes the Mickey out of Fergie, Linkin Park, Nick Lachey, and the High School Musical franchise. The "Amazon Kindle" - the answer to the question you weren't asking. Arthur and Flaco are on a plane, and the stewardess asks what she can get Arthur to drink. This strip takes a slam at Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. One of Flaco's rejected Halloween costumes is "any character design from the Where the Wild Things Are film" - apparently, you'll see it in your nightmares all week. And one of Sheldon's rejected Halloween costumes is the fridge in Indiana Jones. This strip, inspired by the Three Musketeers candy bar, introduces MORE candy bars based on literature. One of them is a "Snickers" - which is an actual candy bar, but it's there because that's also other people's reactions to you reading The Twilight Saga. This strip has Arthur revealing that he's figured out what's wrong with the movie Waterworld - specifically, that the characters are all living on the surface of an endless, global ocean... and yet everyone is filthy. This strip makes it very clear what Arthur thinks of the Michael Bay Transformers movies. This strip discusses the anatomy of a jellyfish, asking, "How can something be so beautiful and yet be super gross at the same time? It's like looking at Johnny Depp." | |

Arthur's reaction to weird Christmas lyrics. Arthur hates it when you use his exfoliating scrub. Arthur's reaction to Gramp buying peanut butter with the nuts in it. | |

Shout-Out: In general, there are quite a few of these to Star Trek, Dune, Marvel and DC Comics, The Lord of the Rings, and Star Wars. In addition... This strip has Gramp mentioning that he doesn't like Donald Duck. One storyline has Sheldon, after getting beaned by a baseball, hallucinating that he's in Narnia, where he meets Aslan... and the Loch Ness Monster (apparently he doesn't remember the books all that well). This strip has Sheldon dubbing Gramp's complaining about how much the tree cost a retelling of How the Grinch Stole Christmas!. One storyline has Sheldon buying the "Willy Wonka-vator" from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. It winds up breaking, and when Sheldon calls up Mr. Wonka to complain, Oompa-Loompas arrive to fix it. Arthur winds up eating their gum, and, well... Previously, Oompa-Loompas appeared when Sheldon and Arthur paid a visit to Microsoft. This strip going over the anatomy of a bison dubs one of it's horns "the secret last button for the Willy Wonka-vator." This strip features Arthur watching Sesame Street. He's intrigued by Big Bird, for obvious reasons. This strip has Arthur watching Blue's Clues... which he thinks is a game show. One storyline has Sheldon discovering that TRON lives next door. Another TRON reference appears in this strip. These strips both have Arthur singing "The Circle of Life". This strip has Sheldon and Emily discovering that their school play is going to be The Lion King Jr. Yet another reference to The Lion King appears in this strip, which (naturally) goes over the anatomy of a lion - specifically, it dubs the lion "a Simba in the streets, a Scar in the sheets. It also says that the lion's ringtone is Lion-O shouting "THUNDERCATS, HO!" over and over. Mickey Mouse attends a party that Sheldon throws. When Arthur finds out that they changed the name of the Brontosaurus to "Apatosaurus", he asks how Fred Flintstone will get his "Brontosaurus Burgers" now, then claims that "Apatosaurus" sounds more like a Pokémon than a dinosaur. At one point in this strip, Gramp tells Arthur not to "go all Warner-Brothers-frog" on him. Arthur and Flaco make a gingerbread man based on Howl's Moving Castle. A twofer in this strip: after finding out that the Green Lantern's weakness is the color yellow, he imagines a fight between the Green Lantern and the Man in the Yellow Hat. Gramp quotes Avatar. Arthur admits here that he doesn't think Angry Birds makes much sense. When Lil' Butter gets stuck in a tree, Sheldon comments that it was cuter when it happened to Winnie the Pooh. This strip has Sheldon and Arthur reading Garfield and discussing it. This strip describes a character on Storage Wars as having the "auctioneering style of Porky Pig". When telling Oso that she'd like him to be part of her theater company, Emily says, "I believe The Muppets PROVED that a dog can be handy on the piano." In this strip, Arthur accidentally steps on a Woody doll. This strip has Sheldon incorporating Pac-Man into his Christmas decorating. This strip going over the anatomy of a crab claims that it loves doing "that trick from Alien where he opens his mouth and a 2nd mouth comes out" (with a Cheeto serving as the 2nd mouth). | |

Mad at a Dream | |
| Sheldon (Webcomic) / int_d011a8a0 | comment |
Mad at a Dream: This strip has Sheldon mad at Arthur for something that happened in his dream - specifically, in his dream Arthur had fourteen camels and he wouldn't give Sheldon one and then he flew them to the moon and left Sheldon in Maine and he was a jerk. In the next strip, he's STILL mad at Arthur, despite Arthur's pointing out that it was just a dream. Then Gramp comes in and demands to know why Arthur wouldn't let him feed his Pegasus at the 1910 World's Fair. | |

Everybody Hates Mathematics: Averted by Sheldon. He is quite fond of math, and on one occasion is even late to school one day because he wants to finish a formula. | |

Mundane Made Awesome | |
| Sheldon (Webcomic) / int_d148b019 | comment |
Mundane Made Awesome: Sheldon is going to send undulating waves of electromagnetic energy through a comestible dish, causing its molecules to vibrate, and thus, heat up. That's his way of saying that he's going to microwave a corn dog. Gramp sent Sheldon an e-mail all by himself! Arthur got a letter in the mail. Sheldon and Dante are also amazed by a stick and a rock. | |

Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": We never learn what Gramps' name is. For the first decade or so of the comic. We've since learned his name is Seamus. | |

The Ditz | |
| Sheldon (Webcomic) / int_e2d457 | comment |
The Ditz: Oso, who embodies all the sheer dumbness of a pug dog. For instance, when Sheldon tries to teach him to fetch, Oso is utterly unable to locate the ball when it's a few inches from him or even distinguish it from random rocks. Dante isn't as dumb as Oso but he's still not too bright. Lil' Butter isn't the brightest cat around. | |

Art Evolution | |
| Sheldon (Webcomic) / int_e43c66bd | comment |
Art Evolution: The art of the strip has improved a lot in a very subtle way, which becomes very apparent if you compare earlier strips to recent ones. Also, Flaco already went through quite hefty art evolution between the strips where first appeared and where he was named. | |

Exact Words | |
| Sheldon (Webcomic) / int_e9e35e8f | comment |
Exact Words: Sheldon has the accountants "balance the books"... Technically, Arthur DID throw away his banana peels... When Flaco is competing in the Olympics, he has difficulty training for the pentathlon because his high-pitched "Squee"-ing spooks the horses. Arthur notices that the official rules for the pentathlon don't specifically use the word "horse" - they just say "mount". So they have Oso sent to China so Flaco can use him as his mount. | |

Suddenly Speaking | |
| Sheldon (Webcomic) / int_f1e6402d | comment |
Suddenly Speaking: Subverted in this strip. It initially seems as though Flaco, after putting on a cowboy hat, is shouting "REACH FOR THE SKY!", then it turns out the sound actually came out of a Woody doll that Arthur accidentally stepped on. Played straight in this strip, where a result of Sheldon, Arthur and Flaco's time-traveling is Oso gaining the ability to speak. | |

| Sheldon (Webcomic) / int_f2877d9e | comment |
Incredibly Lame Pun: "Why did the turtle cross the road? To get to the 'SHELL' Station!" This strip has Arthur make the "put it on my bill" joke. Arthur's Halloween costume. He's dressed in a trashbag that happens to be white. In other words, he's white trash. Here, Arthur points out that people only say "pomp and circumstance" together - you never hear anyone say "pomp" by itself. Sheldon responds that it's because "if you try to say pomp by itself it sounds pompous." After shooing away some egrets, Arthur says that "You should go through life with no egrets." To which Emily responds, "Booooo." Here, Sheldon is able to spot a pun that Arthur's about to make from a mile away. Arthur can't eat Indian food if there isn't any naan bread. It's naan-negotiable. | |

Charlie and the Chocolate Parody | |
| Sheldon (Webcomic) / int_f7140ff8 | comment |
Charlie and the Chocolate Parody: In addition to the Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory Shout Outs, one storyline has Gramp winning a trip to the Fatty Chunklins Chocolate Plant - but it's a prize for KIDS only, and Gramp can't have Sheldon take him because he's at camp that week. Thus, he decides to dress Arthur up as a child. There they meet Colonel Chunklins and his workers, who look like Oompa Loompas but are not in fact Oompa Loompas (they're just short because of the super-high mercury levels in the factory and they're painted orange because that's the uniforms that Colonel Chunklins makes them wear). Arthur eats some of his magical candy and, well... | |

Running Gag | |
| Sheldon (Webcomic) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Arthur hates eggnog, which he at one point describes as tasting "like hate". This comes up just about every year. So does a crack at Peeps most Easters, and he takes a shot at plot holes in It's a Wonderful Life some Christmases. There's also the recurring series, "Punctuation Marks that Never Caught On", showing extremely — often overly — specific alternatives to question and exclamation marks for conveying comically specialized moods and tones. How amazingly dumb and unnatural pugs are often comes up in conjunction with Oso's mishaps. The various pets sitting on Gramp's head. | |

Rhymes on a Dime | |
| Sheldon (Webcomic) / int_fb17af62 | comment |
Rhymes on a Dime: One storyline has Sheldon suddenly speaking in rhyme, much to his horror, and winds up spreading it to Gramp and Dante. Eventually, Arthur cures them by suggesting that they say the word "orange". This strip has Sheldon watching SCI-FI over WI-FI. AND he has his WI-FI SCI-FI blaring in HI-FI. | |

Ant Assault: In one arc, the house is invaded by a large colony of ants that grows increasingly brazen in its attempts to steal food after the characters' attempts to get rid of them fail to work — after a while, they become bold enough to openly demand that the others turn over their food, spelling their requests by forming their swarm into letters. | |
