Go, Sophie, Go! So many unconventional materials from which to construct a costume and use to create chaos—trash bags, paper towels, the plural of spice, cooking oils! Go, Sophie, Go!
But don’t leave Starfish Squeaker in the cage. She can’t escape without help.
I don’t think Sophie has her tail between her legs. I think she’s wearing…a diaper!!! Shame on Tidy Woman if she is!! No wonder there’s no litter box in her kennel. Get her Sophie! She deserves all the existential dread you got!
Things I love today: the hilarious and unnecessary Tip Toe. That the first thing Sophie thinks of is creating a costume. And the unexpected grassroots groundswell call from the comments to “Save Lil Starfish Squeaker!” Will this be a huge combo operation? We already have Gutter the lovesick raccoon, the Robber Mice, the Existential Dread, and Animal Control. All we need to add is Stuffed Animal Rescue!
A distraction and an escape narrated by Existential Dread is going to be a lot of fun! I am looking forward to watching this play out over the course of the week.
New theory! Her costume will be incomplete without her Ankh talisman, so I propose that Starfish Squeaker will become the Shining Starfish of Salvation! And will accompany the Dread on the rest of this adventure.
Sophititi: Well, it looks like it will go well for Sophie.
Ta-Natash: She has her starfish and a Blossom of Blessing.
Soph: Not to mention her creativity.
Tash: That is sure to go a long way for her.
Enter Sidewalk Raccoon
Sidewalk: Hi! Any update on my descendant Gutter?
Soph: He got himself into a spot of trouble, but the Robber Mice and Sophie are on it.
Sidewalk: Well, as I appraise the situation it appears to be well in hand.
Soph: Tillie, Adobe, and I are just about to sit down to have some tea and the Xanadu hive’s exquisite honey scones. Like to join us?
Sidewalk: Thank you. Don’t mind if I do.
Sidewalk was introduced in the April 4th comic. I introduced him as Queen Mags’ bodyguard, but in actuality he is her Royal Appraiser, much like his descendant, Gutter. It is a noble family.
The Existential Dread returns! With her boon companion Li’l Starfish Squeaker, she will create such a distraction as never seen before in or out of the wrestling ring! With such an unstoppable force on their side, The Robber Mice are sure to pull off a most daring prison break of The Royal Appraiser!
I would like to propose that the reason we haven’t seen Jules yet is because he will come flying in the window and dive bomb the weird lady until Sophie gets her Existential Dread ready and working to get Gutter and Little Star rescued. And Jules will help the Robber Mice with the Glitter Bombs!

Woe to ye who angers The Existential Dread. For you shall sup on pain and despair for eternity! And I hear that causes terrible indigestion.

Ah, Sophie is going to create one of her artworks. I love the way she tiptoes once she’s out of that kennel.

Hmm. Will this be a “The cat got into the trash bags,” or more of a “(Scream) What the bleep is that!”
Personally, I’m hoping for the latter.

The Existential Dread comes
on little cat tip toes.
It slinks looking
into cupboards and drawers
on silent haunches
and then makes it’s move!

Sophie is quite the dread isn’t she. But I’m afraid “she” will find her and put her somewhere where she can’t be rescued. Be careful Soph…
