Don't Look Under the Bed Page #4

---

FAR, FAR AWAY.

AND YOU'VE GO THIS NEURAL THING

IN YOUR HEAD:

THAT KEEPS PEOPLE

FROM SEEING YOU.

OK. ALTHOUGH I DOESN'T WORK ON

REALLY SMALL CHILDREN.

YOU KNOW, WHAT IF THA VOICE IN YOUR HEAD,

WHAT IF IT'S SOME

KIND OF TRANSMISSION

FROM A MOTHER SHIP?

MAN, IF WE HAD A

THERMO-NUCLEAR DEVICE

THAT BOOGEYMAN:

WOULD BE TOAST!

NO! WHAT IF

THE BOOGEYMAN:

WAS REALLY A:

CREATURE FROM A:

DISTANT PLANET?

HE COMES FROM:

UNDER YOUR BED.

WHAT?

IT SAYS IT RIGHT HERE.

THE BOOGEYMAN LIVES

UNDER YOUR BED.

IT DOESN'T SAY

WHICH BED,

BUT I FIGURE IF:

HE'S TRYING TO

RUIN YOUR LIFE,

IT MUST BE:

UNDER YOUR BED.

WELL, THERE'S

NOTHING LIVING:

UNDER MY BED.

OH, YEAH, FRANCIS?

YEAH.

HAVE YOU:

LOOKED LATELY?

WELL, LET'S

JUST GO LOOK:

RIGHT NOW.

ALL RIGHTY,

THEN.

OK.

WELL, ARE YOU COMING OR--

WHAT?

WHERE HAVE YOU:

BEEN, FRANCIS?

DON'T, MICHAEL.

I JUST WENT TO:

THE LIBRARY.

YOU KNOW YOU'RE NO SUPPOSED TO GO OU WITHOUT TELLING US FIRST.

OK. I'M SORRY.

I GUESS I FORGOT.

IT'S ALL

RIGHT, FRANCIS.

WE'RE NOT ANGRY.

WE'RE JUST VERY

WORRIED ABOUT YOU.

CAN I GO TO:

MY ROOM NOW?

ACTUALLY, WE NEED

TO TALK, FRANCIS.

YES, YOU MAY GO.

BUT JUST KEEP US

INFORMED NEX TIME, OK?

OK.

DON'T YOU WAN TO KNOW WHAT'S

GOING ON WITH HER?

WELL, OF COURSE I DO!

BUT WE CAN'T PRESSURE

HER, MICHAEL.

SHE NEEDS HER SPACE.

SHE NEEDS:

PROFESSIONAL HELP!

SSHHHH!

I AM GOING TO E-MAIL

THAT GUIDANCE COUNSELOR,

MS. READLE.

I'M GOING TO INVITE HER

OVER TO DINNER TOMORROW.

SHE HAS EXPERIENCE

DEALING WITH:

PROBLEMS LIKE THIS.

BESIDES, I HAVE THA ROAST I NEED TO COOK.

[ Heart Beating ]

HEY!

[ Gasps ]

LARRY!

HE'S NOT UNDER THERE...

...NOW.

OK. IT SAYS HERE THERE'S

THIS THING CALLED TEMPORALFUGE

THAT CAN MAKE A:

BOOGEYMAN HARMLESS.

YOU'VE GOT YOUR

FEET ON MY BED!

AW, MAN! I THINK I

CAN MAKE ONE OF THESE

TEMPORALFUGE THINGS.

WHERE DO YOU GE YOUR CLOTHES?

WELL, I SWEAR, IT'S GOT THE

INSTRUCTIONS AND EVERYTHING!

LOOK AT THIS!

HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MARBLES?

DARWIN?

FOUND 'EM ON THE FLOOR.

THEY'RE NOT BERT'S.

HEY, MAN! DON'T YOU

RECOGNIZE ME?

HOW DO YOU:

KNOW DARWIN?

HE SAID THEY:

WEREN'T HIS.

IT'S ME!

LARRY?

ARE THEY YOURS?

DO YOU SEE:

ANYBODY ELSE:

IN HERE?

YOU DON'T HAVE TO

BE SNOTTY ABOUT IT.

I DON'T WANT YOUR OL'

MARBLES, ANYWAY.

OH, WAIT. DON'T LEAVE, DARWIN.

DARWIN?

DARWIN? WHY WON'T YOU BE

MY FRIEND ANYMORE?

YOU WERE DARWIN'S

IMAGINARY FRIEND?

I DIDN'T KNOW THA WAS YOUR BROTHER.

DARWIN, PULL THE

COVERS OVER YOUR HEAD,

SO YOU'LL BE SAFE. OK?

HE DOESN'T EVEN

KNOW I EXIST!

WELL, HE DOESN' BELIEVE IN THINGS

LIKE IMAGINARY FRIENDS.

I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M

HAVING THIS CONVERSATION.

YOU'RE NOT REALLY AN

IMAGINARY FRIEND.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY HE

DOESN'T BELIEVE IN ME ANYMORE.

OH, WELL, LOOK. I TOLD

HIM A LONG TIME AGO

THAT IT WAS CHILDISH TO

BELIEVE IN THINGS LIKE THAT.

YOU DID IT.

YOU'RE THE REASON

WHY HE CAN'T SEE ME!

YOU TOLD DARWIN TO

STOP BELIEVING IN ME.

WHAT'S WRONG

WITH YOUR EYES?

I MUST BE ALLERGIC TO

SOMETHING. I DON'T KNOW.

ALLERGIES DON'T MAKE

YOUR EYES LOOK LIKE THAT.

YOU KNOW WHAT, FRAN, YOU JUS KNOW EVERYTHING. DON'T YOU?

THAT'S WHY--THAT'S WHY YOU TOLD

DARWIN TO STOP BELIEVING IN ME.

TO SHOW HIM YOU KNEW

MORE THAN HE DID.

NO! HE NEEDS TO

BELIEVE IN HIS:

DOCTORS. OK?

SOMETHING REAL.

THAT'S HOW YOU

STOP BEING AFRAID.

YOU GROW UP AND...

FACE REALITY.

AND I HAD TO:

HELP HIM DO THAT.

YOU WANTED TO HELP HIM?

THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU GIVE HIM

SOME OF YOUR BONE MARROW? HUH?

I WANTED TO HELP HIM

BUT THE DOCTORS SAID

BERT WAS THE ONLY

ONE WHO COULD DO IT.

I BET THAT WAS A RELIEF.

NO! I WANTED TO DO IT!

SAFE!

LARRY?

NO! DON'T PRETEND WITH ME, FRAN!

I KNOW ALL ABOUT PRETENDING.

LARRY?

[ Owls Hooting ]

[ Spurs Jingling ]

HEH, HEH, HEH, HEH, HEEHHHH.

[ Heavy Footsteps On Roof ]

FRAN?

THE BOOGEYMAN:

IS ON THE ROOF.

A FIREMAN NOW?

YOU REMIND ME OF

DARWIN'S ACTION FIGURES.

WELL, I DON' SEE ANYBODY.

JUST ALL THESE:

CHRISTMAS LIGHTS.

THERE IS NO BOOGEYMAN

ON THE ROOF. OK?

I THINK YOU'RE MAKING

THE WHOLE THING UP.

HOLD THIS FOR ME.

I'M GOING UP.

WAIT. WAIT. WHAT ARE

YOU GOING TO DO?

I DON'T KNOW.

OK? I DON'T KNOW.

I GUESS I'LL USE

MY IMAGINATION.

TRY USING A LADDER. OK?

THERE'S ONE IN

THE GARAGE.

LARRY?

KINDA SCAREY.

DON'T YA THINK

SO, LARRY?

THE ONLY ONE WITH

POWER IN THE CITY?

[ Helicopter Overhead ]

IS THIS A POLITICAL STATEMENT?

[ Door Bell Ringing ]

WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT THIS.

GET REAL,

FRANCIS.

IF I CAN QUOTE YOUR

FRIEND, JOANNE.

WELL, FORMER FRIEND.

THANKS TO THE BOOGEYMAN.

ARE YOU SURE YOU

DIDN'T DO ANYTHING

TO MAKE HIM MAD?

HELLO? I THINK

I'D REMEMBER

IF I'D EVER DONE

ANYTHING TO THE:

BOOGEYMAN.

OK, FRANCIS. OK.

ARE YOU SAYING BECAUSE

YOU'RE IMAGINARY

THAT YOU CAN' EVER DIE?

I NEVER ASKED!

WELL, SO, WHAT, YOU

NEVER GET OLD?

YOU JUST STAY YOUNG FOREVER,
