Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for November 13, 2021

They have to be small to fit underneath the bed.

These monsters aren’t too smart.

A consultation from an expert: Blinkey from Bloom County

Small monsters, just picture them piranha sized

Small enough to control Calvin from the inside out.

Go to sleep, Calvin.

It is going to be a long night for Mom.

Why is he calling for his mother? There are no monsters under his bed, and they are very small ones anyway.

They may be small, but those dust bunnies have a vicious streak a mile wide!

The Under-the-Bed space is bigger on the inside.

There you have it. Calvin is a Time Lord.

Monsters under the bed are so passé. We lurk in the shadows now!

“No! Not the poker!” ~ Monster under the bed in “Hogwatch” by Terry Pratchett…..(Not a direct quote)……

Hobbes isn’t with Calvin tonight. In a previous strip featuring a lone Calvin and the monsters under his bed, a commentator suggested that it was really Hobbes hiding under the bed and playing yet another trick on Calvin!

Isn’t it situations like this why you have Hobbes around?

Well that’s a relief. I can just imagine how scary it would be if the answer to my query of “Are there any monsters under my bed?” would have been YES!

Hypothetical questions. The tools of lawyers and ancient alien theorists.

Monsters: How’d she know about us? Somebody blabbed!

I used to give those monsters a squirt of air freshener. Monsters don’t like nice things, so they would leave immediately.

Easy to cure monsters under the bed: Just cut off the bed legs. Then the monsters won’t fit.

Just once, only once, I’d like Mom to look under the bed scream and run out of the room. …evil snicker here.

Just don’t look in the closet.

Like the monster would say ‘yes’? Reminds me of the last flight I took. The airport inspector asked me if I had any dangerous substances in my suitcase. Like I’d say ‘yes’ if I did???

Most dangerous thing I had was a snow globe, an they let me keep it.

when I was young I got really paranoid about monster under my bed. I would take a running leap into the bed. Never talked to anyone about this unfounded fear.

Would be funny to see that his always straight laced father has an electronic device under his bed and just likes f-ing with his son’s imagination! grin

“Well, if there are no monsters under my bed, then who am I talking to?”

“Ralph.” “George.” “Hymie.”

“Hymie?”

“That was my father’s name!”

Never had a creature under the bed, there definitely was something in the closet. Things that eat little pandas, live in closets. And don’t forget, under the oil tank in the cellar, more scary things there.

those monsters are about as smart as Pastis crocs

LOL at the monster telling Calvin “Go to sleep.”

Its time for a real ass kicking, Calvin.

You know, they’re not necessarily lying. They might not see themselves as monsters.

When I was about that age, we only had one monster but he was a big one and lived in the furnace in the basement…

Do sea monsters live under water beds?

When a psychosis gets out of control.

Love the young witty lads call to mom when in distress.
