I never could figure out why camping always had to involve, enduring horror stories. What I liked about camping was sitting outside and studying the stars in their constellations, spotting the planets and watching meteor showers.
This strip brings back great memories. As a young kid I used to camp out in the backyard a lot during the summer with my best friend Phil and my dad used to come out in the middle of the night and scare the hell out of us. Good times!
Scary stories around a campfire used to be an enduring tradition. Yes, we scared ourselves silly. But we felt even sillier for being scared in the bright sunshine of the next day.

Don’t let this kid read Stephen King when he gets older.

Camping for me is a nice hotel/motel room with A/C and cable tv.

Thanks again, Bill Watterson, for showing us Calvin’s awesome imagination. Was this the way your mind worked at his age? ☺

Scary stories should be kept far away from some people!

Calvin doesn’t seem to appreciate the irony that he is sharing these stories with a tiger.

This one’s on dad. Not Calvin’s fault!

This theme has been done to death in books and movies and comics. But Watterson just seems to make it funnier than the others. He is the master.

Since when would a tiger be afraid of a bog monster?
