Debuting on October 15 from Marble Press, these are the first two in a series for middle-grade readers and are “full of mini adventures, pop culture spoofs, sharp jokes, adorable illustrations, and a sneaky dose of heart.”

Anderson’s “Dog Eat Doug” comic strip debuted as a webcomic in 2004 and became nationally syndicated in 2005, appearing in newspapers such as The Chicago Tribune and MSN, and webcomic sites such as GoComics.com and Webcomics.com. Over the past 20 years “Dog Eat Doug” has grown to enjoy international readership, both through traditional newspapers and online.
The new Sophie graphic novel series continues to chronicle the hilarious adventures of chocolate lab Sophie and her new (human) baby brother Doug as they navigate life’s everyday trials together.
Read the synopsis for each book below:
SOPHIE: JURASSIC BARK
Life is good when you’re a dog and you have humans all to yourself. But what about when a new baby enters the picture…along with a couple of cats intent on taking over the world? Join Sophie and her new baby brother Doug on adventures as they go searching for the Temple of The Lost Cookie, fight crime as the Canine Crusader and Cat Baby, and explore the depths of outer space in the first installment of this new humor and action-packed graphic novel series.
SOPHIE: FRANKENSTEIN’S HOUND
Sophie and Doug set off on more lively adventures, now joined by a gang of playful foster puppies and the family’s two new mysterious cats. Follow along on a dragon hunt, witness Sophie and Jack’s epic battle against the Ninja Socks, and brace yourself for the mischievous cat duo, Chewy and Equi, who might just be plotting to take over the world.
Anderson said in a statement:
“Taking a leap from newspaper strips to graphic novels was scary, but Sophie, my real life furbaby, and the amazing fosters I’ve met along the way, have inspired a whole new leash on storytelling. From the small panel to the grand page, Sophie’s world has exploded with new life. These graphic novels offer a deeper dive into the bond between humans and their rescue dogs.”
