Soopah’s still nameless son sure doesn’t get it, does he? For a kid with glasses, he isn’t that smart. Wait, I where glasses and I no smart either.

Soopah Tells It Like It Is
This is the untold story we’ve all been waiting for–how Soopah’s son came to be. Now if we can just come up with a suitable name for the lil’ bastard.
Soopah’s Elf On A Shelf
To parents and really-odd Christmas enthusiasts everywhere, the household Elf on a Shelf probably made its first appearance over the weekend. This tradition puts more unnecessary pressure on parents to find a new hiding spot for the elf every night to make it seem that the elf flies to the North Pole and returns. The most pressure comes from actually remembering to do it.
Sure, it’s kind of annoying, but my God is it a wonderful inclusion in your home. This creepy little guy actually keeps children in line. I have 4, 3 of which have mouths that use words. Those words aren’t always so nice. When our family elf, Sprinkles, is in the house, those mouths don’t use as many words. 1 magical month of the year, this little gnome comes around to help us parent. The fear of negative consequences (coal instead of presents) for bad behavior is enough to get the desired effect.
Now we just need some other supernatural beings to help out the rest of the year: Cupid on the shelf, Leprechaun on the shelf, Apostle on the shelf, and don’t forget Little Veteran on the Shelf. With this pattern, we can fill the whole year with creepy spies who keep our kids in check.
Artist note: this is my first non-black-and-white Soopah strip. Does the grayscale color palette take away form the simplicity of the comic?
Soopah Has Some Fatherly Advice
He’s no Bob Saget, but Soopah’s words are wise. Even the greatest father who ever lived, Odin, heeds his advice. And so should you.
But seriously, what the fuck is up with Minecraft? I hear kids refer to it as a “game”, but it just them pushing a whole bunch of blocks around. Looks like a bad Dire Straits video too. You know what I used as a kid when I wanted to build with square blocks? Blocks. And then Legos got wicked popular and I started using them a whole lot.
The moral of this story is that kids should be doing constructive stuff that will contribute to society instead of wasting valuable time in front of a screen “creating” things out of digital nonsense. Like me and this webcomic. Oh crap….
Soopah and the Son He Never Had
Milestone alert. This is the first appearance of Soopah’s not-yet-named sidekick, his not-yet-named son and his first legitimate villain. Save this issue, fan-boys. It will surely be a collector’s item in a few years.
