Tape Fails, Treats Prevail! Sophie's Sticky Mishap Gets Hilarious in Dog Eat Doug (Free Comic!)
The concusion of the great tape fiasco. In reality, Gunnar just waited until I removed the tape.

Obviously you can see that I’m switching to posting the full, uncropped comic. Let me know if you think it’s easier to read.
True story. Except we had to do this with Gunnar. I thought it worked, except when I took the tape off, he went right back to swiping.
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.
We solved this issue by covering the florrs with dog beds. Also, a sectional couch that could fit a pride of lions helps.
We’ve had a coughing contest here the past few days. Just a small dog bug thankfully. Still had to get Luther checked out by the doc. Can’t take any chances with his condition.
To be fair, baby suits are super cute.
