Anatomy of the Monster Under the Bed - Sheldon® Comic Strip

TITLE: Anatomy of Monsters: Anatomy of the Monster Under the Bed

DESCRIPTION: A wood bed with a headboard and footboard, a maroon blanket messily thrown back, and white sheets and a pillow sit against a scrubby black background. From behind and under the bed three green octopus tentacles squirm up, and two wide white eyes stare from under the bed.

JOKES:
- His older brother haunts a GORGEOUS four-poster Victorian bed, while he gets this Ikea Skürgen-Gürgen.
- (pointing to previous joke) (When you get it from Ikea, the monster comes flat-packed.)
- This tentacle can crush a car, yet is powerless against 300-thread count sheets.
- He primarily feeds on fear. But if a few stale funyuns drop, that’s okay too.
- These eyes know only one fear: THE VACUUM EXTENSION HOSE.
- Most monsters actually work three to four beds a night. Those ankles ain’t gonna brush themselves.
- With just a pinch of salt and batter, this fries up into a scrumptious calamari!
- Eyes with the unblinking focus of a 60-year old man watching a parallel parking attempt.
- Spends 80% of his time hoping little jimmy doesn’t load up on juice before bedtime.
