Comic Chaos Unleashed: Sophie's Hilarious Counter Chase in 'Dog Eat Doug'!
Thanks goodness I made this one up. And while our cats sometimes jump up on the table, we’ve never had a cat chasing dog in the house.

Thankfully this never happened. Although they came close a few times.
It’s kind of true and also gives me ideas for a funny but darker strip about crazy babies.
Nothing better than cats and quantum physics.
Doug struggles with deception. And most dogs do too. Dogs are create at getting into trouble but hysterical at trying to cover up the crime.
Makes you wonder how it got there. Then again, if you have a baby, things like this stop surprising you after a while.
Honestly, it’s a sound you can not unhear.
We still have that recliner. The high chair is long gone. Also, please feel free to share these comics with your friends. Especially those that have dogs!
I always felt the recliner was Sophie’s version of Snoopy’s dog house.
Laughing in the face of fear is a good plan until the fear laughs back. I’ve expanded this strip in the upcoming Sophie graphic novels. Sophie and Doug take a trip into Shadowville!
Thankfully I don’t have any laundry bandits these days. And to be fair, Sophie was never that destructive when it came to fresh clean clothes. Mostly she stuck to swiping socks.
I love spiders. That’s why I always snuck them into the strip. And I promoted the spider to a reaccuring character in the upcoming graphic novels. There’s something inherently comical about taking an often times terrifying animal and giving them a human, funny personality.
Another profound but misguided Sophie-ism.
I have to say, this is one of those strips where the influence of the early Peanuts comics shows through. My dad had the original collection of Peanuts strips from the 1950’s. Reading that as a kid, I was shocked by how different it was than the Peanuts I read in the daily newspaper.
Nothing beats the joy of a dog with their head out a car window.
This is how you know your cartoon characters are alive. I would never in a million years come up with slipping helium infused pies to mice. That’s the fun of writing, as you get to be as surprised as your reader. Plus it helps having two crazy cats in real life.
I’m surprised I didn’t set the comic strip in a book store, given how much I adore them. One of my local book shops does have a resident dog and cat. What a great premise for a story.
I’ll tell you what, a baby, a dog and a high chair is a completely different kind of food pyramid.
I’m sure most of you guessed Doug’s toy is a stuffed sand worm from the movie, Beetlejuice.
I’ve always loved when Doug and Sophie delve into the fantasy world. I’ve taken this leaps forward in the graphic novels. They have room to be actual knights and go on dragon hunts. In book 2, Sophie takes three foster puppies on a Monty Python inspired dragon hunt. And that’s just the beginning.
