Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for August 21, 2012

Don’t ask me stupid questions, Mom!

Ask a silly question…

Click here: Peanuts (November 12, 1968)

Yes.

How to get rid of night monsters?

Monsters are sneaky and can go invisible when parents look at them. :(

They just pop in out of thin air.

@jungleman,Apparently you take (the real) Puddleglum to be a “Seeing is believing” (which fits the context of the comic) kind of guy. I reread The Silver Chair a year or two ago. Although Puddleglum is my favorite character in the Chronicles of Narnia series, I think I like the Voyage of the Dawn Treader best of all the books.

Maybe Calvin is the evil twin of “Goodness”!

The monsters under the bed ate my homework.

Seems like they’d be a better source of info than a Mom who can’t see them.

Flood lights, time for flood lights under the bed, monsters don’t like flood lights!

Maybe they can crawl under the gap under the bedroom door. :(

The heck with the monsters, I’m afraid of the dust bunnies!

But did you check the closet mom? You KNOW they hide in the closet until after you’ve checked under the bed!!

They sneak out of the closet and slither under the bed. How can she not know that?

And if you throw some marshmellows and chocolate bars, and graham crackers under the bed before you use the flamethrower, you could make a really HUGE mess!!!

Check out “Little Monsters”, 1989, with Howie Mandel and Fred Savage. Make sure your little guys watch it. They’ll never be afraid of “Monsters Under The Bed” again.

Mike & Sully doin’ their jobs

Don’t shout, Calvin.

You’ll wake the monsters up.

LOL xxx

Yes, do.

Yes you can go right under there and ask them.

They sneak in through quantum wormholes?

Mom’s obviously in on the monstrous conspiracy! How devious!

Apparently, Calvin looks like he just got paralyzed by a paralyzing monster….

Marty and Spud over on Sherpa are having an adventure with Bed Monsters. It’s worth a read.

@MagicFan,Since Reepicheep is utterly fearless, he would vanquish and dispatch those under the bed monsters posthaste.What do you like about Reepicheep?

All the smoke from the forest fires here in the West have been screwing up my sleeping patterns as well. No monsters but my asthma and arthritus have been humming along rather nicely….perhaps Calvin can do a deal with the monsters to clean up his room – this cartoon is something I look forward to every day for a much needed smile or laugh. And you…?

They were either invisible, hiding in the closet or were outside on the window ledge when mom did her usual no-monsters-under-the-bed check last night! What other explanation could there be?!?

I think Mom’s lying,……she knows about the MOMsters under the bed haha hahaha
