Masses of Gaimans followers listen to the legend and make their way to the Comic Center.
Also, did we know Stuarts shop was called the Comic Center?
Where have I been?
The guys wonder how they missed Gaiman visiting the store.
We see from our perspective that they technically didnt miss him.
He was there the entire time.
Once he even tried to participate in a conversation, but was brutally rebuffed.
Gaimans cameo standing right beside a clever easter egg: one of his Sandman comics.
Naturally Sheldon has a problem with all of the riffraff in the Comic Center.
He prefers Stuarts shop to be empty and sad just like a funeral home that sells Pokemon cards.
He complains to Amy, using Black Panther as an example to further explain his plight.
To Sheldon, the Comic Center is like the country of Wakanda.
Its a hidden gem.
If that world is opened to just anyone, it wont be special anymore.
The analogy makes sense until Sheldon starts complaining about Denise.
Excuse me, Dr. Cooper, but I think the women of Wakanda make that place special.
Im sure Denise will have the same effect on the store.
Howard agrees with me.
He encourages Sheldon to have a conversation with Denise.
She actually knows her stuff.
Sheldon becomes a fan of Denise and sings her praises, which annoys Amy.
Turn around and ask Neil Gaiman, too.
In other news, Raj discovered a comet.
Or Penny discovered a comet.
Theres a healthy debate going over which one is correct.
Raj positions the telescope, looking for Mercury.
Penny looks through the lens and sees something fuzzy.
It turns out, it was a comet.
The celebration is cut short when Raj tells Penny that he put his own name on the registration form.
People think that just because shes a pretty blond that she doesnt know what shes talking about.
Who cares if this jeopardizes Rajs career?
She will not stand him stealing her comet!
Leonard tries to smooth things over with Raj.
So he takes the opposite tactic and encourages Penny to fight her own battles.
She doesnt need her husband to do the dirty work.
Shes a strong independent woman.
To the amended words of Katy Perry, Penny is a champion and Raj needs to hear her roar.
Penny arrives at Rajs house.
He apologizes, admits he was a jerk, and promises to put her name on the paperwork.
So, technically, all Penny had to do was deliver a low growl.
Theoretical LaughterSheldon: Who are all these people?
Is this a flash mob?
Sheldon: Youre comparing this place to Comic-Con?
Can I go to the bathroom next to a wookiee who got his zipper stuck in his fur?
