Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for August 01, 2016

I once had a skunk under my bed, but “spooky” is the wrong adjective.

There’s no monster, it’s just an angry looking man.http://smbc-comics.com/index.php?id=97

Lucy, Danae’s sock on the end of the bed should keep almost anything away….I know mine would….Actually, with mine, I’d probably have to clean up dead monsters in the morning…

Well, if something under the bed is drooling, Bill Watterson is going to sue.

A girl with that bedside lamp should not be afraid of anything.

That is a cool lamp.

Not under the bed. On the bed!

and don’t forget the anxieties hiding in the closet.

You have a talking horse, and a skull night lamp and you’re worried about something under the bed? The only thing under the bed is your dirty socks, and the dust bunnies multiplying.

Thank You For Sharing !

Maybe that is a trade? Anxious comforting pal like Lucy. Of course Danae has to take her chances.

… and any part of your arms and legs that aren’t under the blanket gets chopped off!*My Mom used to say, “Dust to dust. There’s someone under your bed but I don’t know if they’re coming or going.”

I, and I alone, can protect you from spooky things under the bed.

A bit of air freshener will take care of the monsters. They flee from pretty things. When I was a kid, the things under my bed were always seals. I’d never seen one in real life, we didn’t live near the coast, but seals it was.

My brother and I had bunk beds. I was the thing under his bed.

Is monsters under the bed or in the closet an American phenomenon. I lived in Ireland and England as a child and I never heard of or feared such things nor ever heard of anyone else being scared of them either. We had no equivalent either.

Back in the day, I had a job delivering and assembling furniture. While assembling a kids’ bunk bed set, the kids kept getting underfoot, until I warned them that if they persisted, I would install an EXTRA set of Mattress Monsters! (Problem solved)

:D Isn’t it funny how a mere suggestion that something might be there….. boo!
