Monsters love that story!

Monsters are always under the bed. It is when they are in the bed that you begin looking for a good divorce attorney.

cleokaya! You scare me!

How about chucking a certain tiger under there to look? He can take care of himself, he has teeth and claws.
thebird55 said, about 1 month ago

It’s a good thing he has Hobbes. If he didn’t, he wouldn’t be worried, he’d be terrified.

I guess there are times when an imagination like his could be a problem.
WoodEye said, about 1 month ago

You don’t “chuck” tigers… You ask them politely.

Come on Calvin…take a peek…just a little teeny one.

Calvin, hiding your head under the pillow works for me

Monsters are ALWAYS under your bed………..
drwatson said, about 1 month ago

I’m sure Hobbes can take a look, after all, he is a big, brave tiger.

One of Calvin’s rare “serious” moments.

Spread Jello on the floor. It worked for Bill Cosby.

I’m stronger than the monster beneath your bed,
Smarter than the tricks played on your heart,
We’ll look at them together then we’ll take them apart,
Adding up the total of a love that’s true,
Multiply life by the power of two.

(Indigo Girls: “Power of Two”)

“hush little baby dont say a word
and never mind that noise you heard
its just the beasts under your bed
in your closet, in your head!”

no monsters under my bed…….beer cans but no monsters.

Ready for a wierd one. My three year old granddaughter said she can’t go poop on the little potty at my house because there’s monsters in there. Evidently they don’t come out for pee because that’s ok. So look out for the “poop monsters” everyone!

It’s not the monsters under my bed so much as the demons attacking my mind. Thank God for bourbon. It’s the only way to make them leave you alone.

Sounds like a voice of experience….

Cleokays has it right. nuff said on my part.

Laughing monsters are the worst kind!

Carmy–LAUGHING monsters UNDER the bed are the worst kind! :^)

Jrbj–That bourbon could assist with the dilema Cleokaya has mentioned!
propellermario said, about 1 month ago

Well calvin, what do you expect? yes? No? Definitely yes.
LuvH8 said, about 1 month ago

This is why I keep lots of stuff under my bed, no room for monsters. I suppose I could try a night light.

I am always looking for snakes near the toilet, even though I’ve never seen one in the house. Thank gosh, we don’t have poisonous snakes.
trying2keepup said, about 1 month ago

Lonewolf,
That bourbon could be the cause of dilemas like Cleokaya’s
Macushlalondra said, about 1 month ago

Too bad Calvin doesn’t have a pet dog. It could sniff out the monster for him since Hobbes seems to be too afraid.
mexdr1958 said, about 1 month ago

Calvin will not attempt to “chuck certain tiger under the bed”, as ejcapulet suggested. In other strip, Calvin has said “I keep forgetting his five ends are full of pointy things”
tonytiger29 said, about 1 month ago

My kids used to be afraid of monsters when they were younger. we would have to do a room search before bed and they slept with flashlights. they got past it with the help of scooby doo. they got from scooby that there were no monsters, they were just people in masks. they were both fine once they got into scooby. fortunately they got interested in scooby about the same time they got scared of monsters. THANK YOU SCOOBY.

monsters with a sense of humor, must be Richard Scarry types then

Rose is Rose has a recurrring ‘bathtub drain monster’ character.

Monsters “take it all in”. That’s why they laugh.

I thought that was an echo of my laughing! Now I’m scared
bandz said, about 1 month ago

Pat says to Mike, Did you ever resolve that grudge between you and your neighbor?” Mike says, “There’s no grudge between us. There’s only a carport.”

What does that have to de with monsters under the bed? Nothing. Nothing at all.
Puddleglum2 said, about 1 month ago

Aardvark359,
Have you seen The Wizard of Id today?
Are you incensed or exhilarated with the notoriety?
Would a drooling aardvark under Calvin’s bed qualify as a monster? I’m just kidding, seriously!
Actually, someone who had a house infested with termites might like to have an ‘available’ aardvark. I don’t think it comes as an option when you buy a new car, though.

Ready for a wierd one. My three year old granddaughter…

Many years ago a cousin of mine kept telling my aunt there was a monster in his bedroom.
So she took a broom and went into his room and started whacking the bed and under the bed in the
closet screaming to get out of here and stay out!
Well… As it turned out the scary thing turned out to be someone/thing we all have heard about
during Sunday School. Yeppers, it was God and all that talk about how he’s always there and see you
but you can’t see him was where he stopped listening. So to this day we still talk about the night Aunt
Judy exercised God from under the bed…
The moral of this story is to always make sure that part about how much God Loves us leaves a bigger
impression then the part about not being able to see Him.

I am happy to say that I have no fear of monsters. Never have. I feel very sad for children who live in fear of their own imaginations. Large segments of the population fill their children’s heads with nonsense so that they live in constant fear for most of their lives. No wonder there are so many psychopaths roaming around.

(and aardvarks never drool.)
grazer said, about 1 month ago

I laughed at Calvin’s plight.
I feel like a monster.
WillowsDreaming said, about 1 month ago

The monsters under your bed don’t eat little kids…They eat stinky old socks.
The Bump in the Night cartoon from ABC (before Disney took it over) had Mr Bumpy who was the monster under the bed and he only eats stinky socks. xD Nothing for Calvin to fear….unless he’s wearing stinky socks!!!!

“Yukoner said, about 9 hours ago

That only worked for snakes.

And, they still were allowed a snakey lick.
Puddleglum2 said, about 1 month ago

@bandz,
And a few people say my puns are bad!
But I don’t begrudge anyone the right to say so, nor do I hold a grudge. I just ‘sweep it under the carport’.

No monsters, just dust bunnies.
And they’re more vicious.
fredbuhl said, about 1 month ago

Are dust bunnies able to laugh?
Puddleglum2 said, about 1 month ago

@fredbuhl,
Maybe dust bunnies laugh at ‘dirty’ jokes!

Bill Cosby spread jello for the Chicken-Heart.
MatureCanadian said, about 1 month ago

MrGrommit thanks very much for the link. I don’t think Mr. Waterson appreciates, how much we all think of his characters, art and storylines. Sure wish he’d do a new strip. Now that he’s a grown’d up. Be interesting to see what his take is on aging Boomers…..

Many monsters under the bed!

I wish i knew what thet looked like
Grog said, about 1 month ago

Don’t look now but there are two little monsters IN the bed, too!
bunnyface (bmonk) said, about 1 month ago

I think he need to check also if something down there is drooling–wasn’t that in the title of one of his C&H collections?
