Had to work in one of my favorite author / illustrators! Chris Van Allsburg is brilliant. I always recommend his books to new parents. I also recommend them to adults without kids.

Dangle Dilemma: Watch Equinox Wrestle with His Inner Tiger in Today's Hilarious Dog Eat Doug Comic!

Both our cats are feral rescues. They have free reign to go inside or outisde all day up to 6pm. I trained them to come home at that time, because when night falls, that’s when they turn into Batman. They do argue the poiint from time to time but for the most part they kind of enjoy it.

However, the one side effect of giving them free reign to be cats, is that they have never played with a single cat toy I’ve bought them. From catnip mice to motorized floppy fish. Nothing. I think part of that is they are happy just getting to live like cats.

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.

Funny Dog Comics: Then dad says he adds some coconut milk. Sophie wonders why would you do that?
Funny Dog Comics: Dad says now he just needs to blend it up. Doug crawls up to Sophie.
Funny Dog Comics: Sophie tells Doug it's kind of shocking that he gets grossed out by the stuff I eat.

Pawsitively Perplexed! Sophie Investigates the Nutritional Nightmare of Dad's Smoothie in Dog Eat Doug

These days it’s little miss Weezy that investigates everything that goes into my smoothies. And that started as a conditioning excercise. You see, when we first got Weezy everything set her off, and that included the Smoothie maker. (For the record I use a Ninja and that thing has been the most reliable thing in my kitchen for a decade). Anytime I blended one up, Weezy would come charging.
So it was an another opportunity to work with her on her deeply embedded anxieties and fears. Not going to lie it was unnerving at first, but the number one thing you have to do when working with a dog like that is remain calm. It took almost a year and then I had her siffing everything that went into the smoothie before I turned on the blender.
