History
Sophie was originally a side character in Jidéhem's Starter, which was a column dedicated to automobiles in Spirou. Starter featured the adventures of a young mechanic, Starter, and a young female companion named Sophie. When readers showed more interest in Sophie than in Starter she received her own spin-off.Concept
Sophie is a young black-haired, pig-tailed girl who is the daughter of electrotechnician Mr. Karapolie. She was named after Jidéhem's own daughter. They both live in a villa in a quiet neighborhood outside the city, where they are aided by a butler, Joseph. Sophie has three friends, Starter and Pipette, who work as mechanics and Petit Bernard, a little boy who is two years younger than her and far more cowardly. Pipette furthermore owns a black car, Zoë, with a sentient mind. Many storylines revolve around criminals who want to steal the inventions of Sophie's father.Albums
