I’d say that’s a good call.

Shoot, I’d call in sick!

Someone hit the button below “Garage.”

Did you annoy the monster under your bed?

that is a large elevator!

Let me guess….the monster’s courtesy of the company’s Wellness Program as a motivation for its employees to take the stairs and thus exercise more.;-/

Oh, they’re worse.

Where is Horace when you need him???

Must have eaten Bleeb….Poor fella

…”Stairs? Naaah, you go ahead… I’m gonna see how this plays out!”

When they say taking the stairs is better for your health, in that building, they really mean it.

And, just after a wonderful 3 day weekend!

OOPS! We pushed the button for the fright elevator by mistake…

Nah. It’ll be busy for a couple floors.

“This is all-full. The elevator looks full. I’d ask that passenger there but it looks like he’s got his mouth full.”

I guess the dragon didn’t find it amusing when the human pushed all the floor buttons…

Boss on the rampage again?

Yeah. It’s too late for Bert. I always wondered what became of Cookie Monsters family.

Alternate Caption: "I’ll bet that’s not what he meant when he pressed the “Going Down” button!"

Huh, I’m not seeing Ble— oh, noooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!

That’s one way to enforce those pandemic reduced max passenger limits!

Good idea!

No can do, man. The giant spider from LOTR made her lair there

Going down? :)

Is this what Bath Tub Monsters do in their down time?

I told them not to build a 13th floor

What? No bug?

I could use the exercise……

It’s a good day to stay home, there’s bug going around the office today.

Going down!

Just when everyone thought ‘Elevator Monsters’ were extinct.

Orkin©?

Actually it’s what the Sarge looks like to Beetle just before the beatdown.

OR

Actually it’s what Mr. Dithers looks like to Bumstead just before the bawling out..

Why did the doomed guy walk in the elevator in the first place?
