Lucy: Umm... Danae: What... Lucy: I was just wondering... did you ever think something spooky might be under the bed? Danae: Not until now, thank you very much!! Lucy: You're welcome.
A fantasy author wrote a book that had Night Mares and Day Mares in it, back in the 80s. His books were full of silly puns, and the series got sillier as it went along. Ah, well. Just getting nostalgic.
gmartin…good for you. Evidently your parents gave you the gift all parents should, few do: realization that the planet’s your home, and there’s nothing there in the dark that wasn’t there in the light. And that you are capable and can get along without them…Also it helps to walk thru the valley knowing that you are the baddest there is…
For kids it’s monsters and boogie men hiding under the bed. For adults it’s spiders, creepy crawlies, and dust bunnies!Also, it’s the joy, just before dropping off to sleep of hearing the whine of a mosquito or buzz of a house fly.
Hairy, eight legged freaks. boney, six legged annoyances. other scary things. Thanks! Where’s the broom? I need a cat with attitude to go under the bed on a search & destroy mission.

Ooo, now Danae’s going to find some way to introduce a bill that states nothing scary is supposed to ever be under the bed.

C’mon – any grrl who has a skull lamp on her night table is not going to be afraid of something under her bed.Even if her horse says so.

It reminds me of ‘Blazing Saddles’: “the sheriff’s in bed with the mayor/mare”.

I would think anything under the bed would be hiding from Dannae.

In Danae’s case, ignorance is bliss.

This strip is so “Calvin & Hobbes” — from a Wiley point of view.

At least Calvin knew there were monsters under the bed—but the drool, by the stupidity of their responses, and so on.
