Rump in the night
Some background on this comic:
Transcript:
My brother once woke up screaming in the middle of the night from a nightmare. In his dream, a wolf, with “pure, white eyes” and walking on its hind legs, was trying to get him. He was able to quickly dismiss the ordeal, but he told the story so vividly that his younger sibling (me) could never shake the image. Ironically, my brother’s nightmare ended up scaring me for years. The creature on the right in this cartoon closely resembles the “wolf” as I’ve always pictured it.
In bed at night, I was so scared of this and other monsters that I nearly suffocated trying to stay completely under the blankets. Any exposed skin meant certain death.
The monster snorkel would have been a wonderful thing in my little world. (It still would be.)
I read that years ago but had forgotten about it. Funny how as a kid we were confident that the covers would mysteriously repel any and all monsters from getting you.
What do you mean “as a kid”?
I wish my monsters were still like that as an adult rather than being existential dread!
That’s why you curl up in your warm comfy covers to nurse a hangover where the real world monsters cannot get to you.
What if the monsters fart in the snorkel?
Nothing. Inhale through your nose under the blanket, exhale through the snorkel. EZPZ
