In the last panel of this comic strip, Sophie clomps into view wearing two large shoes on her front paws. Sophie says, "Well, Ive been wearing these for hours and still have no idea why dad won't let me have a doughnut."

Yes indeed, that’s a vintage Wednesday Addams doll in Doug’s sticky hands. If you haven’t guessed, Charles Addams was one of my earliest influences. My dad had a book full of New Yorker Cartoons from the 40’s. As a kid, I was obesessed with the alien, vintage style of the drawings. And ike any kid, I generally “poo-poo-ed” anything that was old.

However, every so many pages was a single panel cartoon that didn’t fit. They were dark, not just in terms of the joke, but the artwork. I hadn’t seen anything like it, even in my modern Sunday comics. That was in thrid grade. I’ve been entranced ever since. Here’s a little more on the master of the macabre and a few links to see more:

Charles Addams (1912-1988) was an American cartoonist best known for his darkly humorous and macabre creations. He captivated audiences with his iconic characters, including Wednesday Addams and the Addams Family. Addams' distinctive style blended wit, irony, and gothic sensibilities, leaving a lasting impact on the world of cartoons. Explore his extraordinary talent and timeless work through his official website: Addams Foundation and discover the unique charm of his illustrations in The New Yorker archives: The New Yorker - Charles Addams.

One of my favorite cat strips. This one inspired several chapters in the upcoming graphic novels. However, unlike the comic strip, the graphic novels have allowed me to expand on the cats’ storylines. They get a secret base and even get to summon the ancient one, Cat-thulu.

In the last panel of the comic strip we pull back and see that Sophie is covered in plants, dirt and leaves. She tells her dad that for sure, he's going to have to re-plant the peppers.

I have a lot of garden related comic strips. Now Sophie was never destructive in the yard. However, our foster dogs destroyed my entire irrigation system. I tried keeping up with the repairs, but in the end I ditched the tubes and the timer and went back to using a hose.

Okay, this is not the real reason Sophie loved stripping tennis balls. But it’s funnier.

This comic strip inspired a chapter in “Sophie”, book two. In chapter six, the latest group of foster dogs get adopted. Sophie got what she wanted: her house back to herself. However she wasn’t happy and didn’t understand why.
I saw this strip and thought it would be interesting, and hopefully funny if she went on a small self-exploration adventure. One of the squirrels tells her to climb Mount Mojojumbajamab and seek wisdom from the Yeti of Enlightenment. And of course it’s not going to end the way Sophie is hoping it well.

Any time we were gardening, Sophie had her nose in the mix. I haven’t had any flower obsessed dogs since. Although Gunnar is determined to water everything in the backyard. I think he thinks he’s saving us the work.
