What do you do when your parents bring home a loud, smelly, bald, brother!?

How RUDE!

At least, that's what Sophie thinks!

Sophie is the protagonist dog in author/illustrator Brian Anderson's latest Sophie graphic novel releases!

Brian stops by the show today to discuss his background in writing/illustrating, the origins of the Sophie book, and what's next.

Enjoy!

About Sophie

Based on the much-loved webcomic, “Dog Eat Doug,” Sophie is a hilarious new graphic novel series, a sendup of family life from the perspective of one snarky dog who wants nothing more than to have everything—without ever having to share. Full of mini adventures, pop culture spoofs, sharp jokes, adorable illustrations, and a sneaky dose of heart, Jurassic Bark and Frankenstein’s Hound are the perfect introduction to these characters and their world. Just right for the pet-obsessed among us no matter the age, while simultaneously appealing to the kids who love to giggle at Big Nate, Dog Man, Garfield, and Snoopy.
