Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for August 21, 1992
Transcript:
Calvin: As soon as we turn the lights off, the monsters will come back out from under the bed. They're not going to go away, so I guess we need to find some way to live with them. Hobbes: It's hard to co-exist with things that want to kill you. Calvin: Well we've got to do something. Hobbes: We are. We're staying awake all night with the lights on. Calvin: I wonder if we could set fire to the bed without burning the house down.
I killed my first monster when I was seven years oldHe melted like butter in my bathroom’s sixty-watt bulbKept a three-cell MagLite from Daddy’s workshop drawerUnder my pillow and I’d pull it like a sword- Eric Church
