Don't Look Under the Bed Page #5

---

LIKE...PETER PAN?

OUR FRIENDS GROW

UP, THEN...

THEY DON'T NEED

US ANYMORE.

SO WE GO FIND:

NEW FRIENDS.

MAKIN' NEW FRIENDS

KEEPS YOU YOUNG.

JUST LIKE AEROBICS.

TAE BO. TAI CHI.

ALL THAT GOOD STUFF!

WELL, THEN WHY DIDN' YOU GET A NEW FRIEND

WHEN DARWIN STOPPED

BELIEVING IN YOU?

BECAUSE DARWIN:

STILL NEEDED ME.

WELL...

WHAT IS THIS THING ANYWAY?

TEMPORALFUGE.

OHHH.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

ASSUMING IT WORKS.

OH, IT'S SO SIMPLE, A

CHILD COULD UNDERSTAND IT.

IN FACT, A GROWN-UP COULDN' UNDERSTAND IT AT ALL.

ALL RIGHT. IF YOU

SPIN THE CLOCK:

CLOCKWISE AT THE RIGHT RPM,

IT CREATES, WHAT YOU CALL A

TEMPORAL FUGITATION IMPULSE.

YOU TAKE THE FUGITATION

IMPULSE AND:

YOU AMPLIFY IT WITH

MAGNETIC FIELDS,

AND THEN THE SPEAKER SENDS I THROUGH THE VACUUM CHAMBER.

WELL, THAT'S DAD'S

VACUUM CLEANER!

YOUR DAD DOES:

THE VACUUMING?

YEAH, HE LIKES TO

DO THE HOUSE WORK.

THIS IS STARTING TO

GET UNBELIEVABLE.

ANYWAYS, AFTER RESONATING

THE VACUUM CHAMBER,

THE IMPULSES GO THROUGH

THESE JUMPER CABLES

AND RIGHT INTO THE BOOGEYMAN.

AND?

A BOOGEYMAN HAS GOT A VERY

TIGHTLY WOUND BIOLOGICAL CLOCK.

THAT'S WHY THEY ONLY BOTHER YOU

WHEN YOU'RE A LITTLE KID.

BY THE TIME YOU GROW UP,

THE BOOGEYMAN IS

TIRED AND RETIRED.

NO, NO. THEN WHY IS

HE BOTHERING ME NOW?

THAT'S A VERY GOOD

QUESTION, FRAN.

ANYWHO, THE TEMPORALFUGE

SPEEDS IT UP.

THIRTY SECONDS ON THIS

BABY, HE'S GOT A WHITE,

LONG BEARD,

WALKING WITH A CANE,

EATING SOME PRUNES.

HE'S HARMLESS. TOO

OLD TO BOOGEY.

YOU EXPECT ME TO

BELIEVE ALL THIS?

IT'S IN THE BOOK.

WHAT DO YOU WANT, A

DEMONSTRATION?

YEAH.

[ Thunderclap ]

STAY BACK.

IT'S STILL EXPERIMENTAL.

I WOULD'VE SAID

RIDICULOUS.

I'M GOING TO

PULL THE SWITCH.

[ Thunderclap ]

[ Cuckooing ]

THEY SAID I WAS CRAZY

AT THE UNIVERSITY.

IT'S ALIVE!

BUT NOW I'VE SHOWED THEM.

NOW THEY'LL SEE

WHO HAS THE LAST LAUGH.

HA HA!

HA HA HA!

OOOH!

[ Laughing ]

IT'S NOT FUNNY!

SORRY.

YOU KNOW, THIS STUFF

SMELLS DISGUSTING.

IT'S SOUR.

IT'S BEEN FUGITATED. IT'S

LIKE TWO MONTHS OLD NOW.

I DON'T KNOW WHY I WEN KABLOOEY LIKE THAT.

THE TEMPORALFUGE MUST BE

LACTOSE INTOLERANT OR

SOMETHING.

OOUCH! YOU SCRATCHED ME!

GIVE ME THAT!

I USED TO BITE THEM.

UH-HMM, SO THAT'S

WHY THEY GROW REALLY

FAST NOW.

MAN, THERE IS SOMETHING

STRANGE GOING ON WITH YOU.

LIKE, HOW WOULD

YOU KNOW?

HAVE YOU KNOWN:

ANY OTHER:

IMAGINARY PEOPLE?

I COULD BE:

PERFECTLY NORMAL.

HA! YEAH, RIGHT.

AND PIGS:

COULD FLY.

LOOK, I'M GONNA GO

TAKE A COLD SHOWER.

MAYBE THAT'LL WAKE ME

UP FROM THIS NIGHTMARE.

OOH, IS THAT A ZIT?

GIRL, YOU NEED

TO TAKE CARE OF:

YOUR SKIN.

GREAT. I'M STILL DREAMING.

OVER HERE.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THERE?

JUST PAUSING:

TO REFLECT.

GET OUT! OK? GET OUT!

IT'S CREEPY.

OH.

THERE.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN IN THERE?

I WAS JUST THINKING,

NOW THAT THE BOOGEYMAN

KNOWS WE'RE AFTER HIM,

HE MAY NOT COME OU FROM UNDER THE BED

FOR WHO KNOWS:

HOW LONG.

YOU KNOW.

LAY LOW.

WHY CAN'T WE

JUST WAIT FOR:

HIM TO COME OUT?

WHAT'S THE HURRY?

OH, NO. NO.

THERE'S NO HURRY

I JUST THOUGHT IT'D BE

NICE TO GET IT OVER WITH.

YOU KNOW, BEFORE

SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS.

BAD?

I MEAN IF IT DOES.

SO HOW DO WE GET THIS OVER WITH?

IT'S ALL IN

THE BOOK.

THIS IS WHAT'S TO BE

CALLED, "BOOGEY GOO."

BOOGEY GOO.

BOOGEYMEN LOVE:

THIS STUFF.

IT'S GONNA TAKE ME

A WHILE TO GET THE

INGREDIENTS, BUT...

WHY DON'T YOU TRY

THE SUPERMARKET?

IMAGINARY FOOD:

SECTION.

THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.

FRAN, YOU ARE SO SMART.

AP...

A SPELL OR A..."

YOU DI:

A SPELL OR A..."

YOU DIDN'T SAY CHARM.

I KNOW THAT.

THAT'S A LOVELY LITTLE

BUST YOU HAVE THERE.

OHHH, YES.

THANK YOU.

IT'S A REPRODUCTION, OF COURSE.

YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T GET RICH

BEING A CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGIST.

OH, TELL ME ABOUT IT.

AND WHAT DO YOU:

DO, MICHAEL?

I'VE GOT A PhD IN SOLID

WASTE ENGINEERING.

PILED HIGHER:

AND DEEPER.

HA HA HA HA!

IT'S SO CARING OF YOU

TO INVITE ME INTO YOUR

HOME ENVIRONMENT,

AND GIVE FRANCIS

AND I A CHANCE:

TO GET TO:

KNOW EACH OTHER.

FRANCIS AND ME.

UH-HUH.

CAN I BE EXCUSED?

YES. OF COURSE YOU MAY, FRANCIS.

I'M GONNA TO GO TO

MY ROOM ENVIRONMENT.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

OOOH!

OOH! THAT SMELLS

SO DISGUSTING!

IT'S BOOGEY GOO!

OH, YEAH.

BOOGEY GOO.

YOU NEED TO CLEAN THIS UP

BEFORE SOMEBODY COMES IN

HERE AND SEES ALL THIS.

I THINK IT'S ABOUT DONE, ANYWAY.

WHAT'S IN THAT?

HEE HEE HEE HEE!

IT'S SO GOOD! IT'S SO

GOOD! IT'S SO GOOD!

SOME ROTTEN EGGS,

BURNT SUGAR,

JALAPEO PEPPERS,

LIMBURGER CHEESE,

SOME ANCHOVIES,

BACON GREASE,

AH, ONE OF

THOSE GUYS.

AND YOUR...

DAILY REQUIREMENT OF IRON.

A COUPLE OF SLUGS,

SOME LEFTOVERS FROM

THE SCHOOL CAFETERIA.

HA HA HA HA HA!

AAHH!

SICK!

YEAH!

DON'T YOU HATE LEFTOVERS?

OH, AND I NEEDED

SOME WEEK-OLD SWEAT,

SO I RAN ONE OF BERT'S GYM

SOCKS THROUGH THE BLENDER.

WELL, YOU DID WASH IT OUT WHEN

YOU WERE DONE, DIDN'T YOU?

SAY WHAT?

YOU DID WASH IT OUT--

THIS IS EXPENSIVE.

PUDDING, MS. READLE?

OH, THANK YOU.

IT LOOKS DELICIOUS.

EXCUSE ME. I THINK I SMELL

SOMETHING... STRANGE.

WE CAN POUR A TRAIL

OF BOOGEY GOO,

AND LEAD THE BOOGEYMAN

STRAIGHT INTO THE

TEMPORALFUGE.

OOH!

FRANCIS?

WHY? AND WHAT IN THE

WORLD ARE YOU COOKING?

IT'S...UH...

HOMEWORK.

FOR HOME EC.

YOU ARE NOT TAKING

HOME... EC.

[ Gags ]

THAT'S WHY I'M

COOKING IT AT HOME.

I THINK EVERYONE SHOULD

LEARN HOW TO COOK.

THIS DOESN'T NOT SMELL

LIKE FOOD, FRANCIS.

YOU'RE RIGHT. I'M

GONNA TAKE IT OUT.

[ Grunting ]

OK. I THINK IT'S ABOUT TIME

WE STARTED TELLING EACH

OTHER THE TRUTH, YOUNG LADY.

NOW, MOM?

YES. NOW.

FRANCIS, YOUR FATHER

AND I BOTH KNOW:

THAT SOMETHING IS

GOING ON WITH YOU,

AND THAT YOU ARE

INVOLVED SOMEHOW

WITH WHAT'S GOING

ON IN MIDDLEBURG.

MOM--

WE DON'T WANT TO PUNISH

YOU, FRANCIS--

CAN WE MOVE?

WE JUST WANT TO UNDERSTAND

WHY YOU ARE DOING IT.

I CAN'T HELP BUT FEEL

THAT YOUR FATHER AND I

ARE PARTIALLY:

RESPONSIBLE.

THAT MAYBE WE FORCED YOU

TO GROW UP TOO FAST.

THIS HAS A VERY:

INTERESTING FLAVOR.

DO I DETECT A:

HINT OF NUTMEG?

JUST A LITTLE BIT.

THAT LOOKS LIKE:

BERT'S GYM SOCK.

OH!

I KNOW WHAT WE WEN THROUGH WITH DARWIN

MUST'VE BEEN VERY

HARD FOR YOU.

WE ALMOST LOST HIM, AND

THAT WAS VERY SCARY.

EVEN FOR THE GROWN-UPS--

WHAT KIND OF COOKBOOK IS

THIS, HONEY, BECAUSE I'M

JUST A LITTLE--

KAREN!

NOW, DON'T GO, 'CAUSE

WE GOTTA START NOW.

I'LL BE BACK.

KAREN,

HONEY!

KAREN, NEED A

LITTLE HELP!

LARRY?

LARRY?

UUH!

LARRY?

UUH, UUH.

WHAT ARE YOU:

DOING IN THERE?

I GOT HUNGRY.

GET OUT. GET OUT!

CAN YOU HELP ME?

CAN YOU HELP ME?

HOW CAN YOU EA THAT STUFF?

IT KINDA TASTE:

LIKE CHICKEN,

WITH A...WITH A HINT OF...

OF NUTMEG!

YEAH.

WHAT IS GOING ON

WITH YOU, LARRY?

FIRST, YOUR EYES...

YOUR FINGERNAILS...

NOW YOU'RE EATING

BOOGEY GOO.

LOOK. I'M NOT...

TURNING INTO A:

BOOGEYMAN, OK?

YOU GOT THAT?

DON'T GO THERE!

DON'T GO THERE, FRANCIS!

LARRY?

JUST KEEP TAKING DEEP

BREATHS, MS. READLE.

OK.

I'M GOING TO GET SOME

ANTI-NAUSEA MEDICINE.
