The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for January 25, 2021

If you can’t sleep we will have to take you to Dr Pepper to see what he can (Mountain] Dew about your insomnia. Now try to get some sleep we have until 7 before we get up you little Squirt! Good Sprite!

He’s going to have to venti his feelings.

ICP, Boogie Woogie Wu comes to mind.

the kid needs to buck up…

Very Good One, Scott!

How did this country become so pretentious over a cup of Joe?

I like the kid’s name! Evidently short for Starbucky?

He lives at home in the Maxwell house.

I don’t ever remember the monster under the bed thing as a kid, but I think a slightly open closet door kind of creeped me out.

Of course you didn’t sleep a wink last night. You’re full of caffeine.

and there may be a bull, a phantom and a shark around hell (which may be around the kitchen). By the way, the Folgers poster was a nice touch

Your mom’s HOT!!!

He’ll be up all night.

I have to take a leak.

The poster behind him is Big, Red.

Solving a monster under the bed issue is easy: Just cut off the bed legs. Then the monster can’t fit.

I like the Folgers print. The best part of waking up is monster in your head… not.

Does he wear a cup for sports?

This must be a decaf nightmare.

Bucky? Referencing the common takeout coffee deal of “Any size for a buck,” I suppose.

Well, it’s certainly keeping him up nights.

The weather report is forecasting a muggy day tomorrow.

The Monster drink is a replacement for some as a breakfast drink. Wonder if that was the point of the comic?

Calvin is always telling Hobbes that those monsters are real, and, sometimes, they are.

dEfinitely not the best part of waking up.

Just cut the legs of the bed down to ground level, you’ll save tons of money on child mental care.

The monster will regret it if Bucky isn’t cured of bedwetting.

What an idea: Caffeine + Adrenalin + Sugar + Healthy Sea Salt + Water.

s/b more like Fourbucky

What if he has “to go” during the night

CUTE!
