Big Appetite, Tiny Chef: Baby Doug's Culinary Catastrophe in Today's Dog Eat Doug Comic

Tiny Masterchef, Big Culinary Ambitions: Unwrapping Baby Doug's Sausage Sashimi Surprise in Dog Eat Doug

You won’t be seeing Doug on Master Class anytime soon. I call these prop comics. I write them by placing the props in front of the characters and watch what they do. In this case, I used the actual toy kitchen we bought for my son. But it’s a great way to come up with ideas for any kind of wriiting.

You can use this in fiction too. If you get stuck, just chuck some strange props at your characters. Or better yet, use props that great a challenge or barrier to what they want. They’ll find a way arond it or fail trying.
