Roll for Sudsy Fun! Sophie & Doug's Epic Bathtime D&D Quest (Must-Read Dog Eat Doug!)

This is one of the strips that made me want to turn Dog eat Doug into graphic novels. Even the larger Sunday comics were so constraining. Now I have unlimited room to let Sophie run wild! I’m writing book three right now and the adventurers keep getting bigger and crazier.

It’s not just about bigger and better, but also about truly letting the characters grow an dlearn over the course of the books. Of course Sophie’s personality guided the daily comics, but at the end of the day, you had to do one every single day. Charting a character arc over months was not easy. Now I can map out where Sophie is at the beginning of the book and see where she’ll be at the end. Then it’s just filling the inbetween bits with tons of fun.
