PAPA-SAMA-STORY: Papa Sama is actually based on a real dog named Mikey that Erick Scarecrow had for 19 years. A mixed breed Maltese that was smart, strong and very tough. He didn't like other dogs, hated getting haircuts, got along with alley cats, ate cheese and spent a lot of time sleeping in my family coat closet. When he was in the closet we would go to try and play with him but he used to growl when he wanted space. Then eventually come out when he was ready to play. Very strange. Erick would often call him old man trapped inside a dog body.
