There’s a monster on the loose, the room reeks and... Something Under The Bed is Drooling! Can Calvin and Hobbes defeat this dastardly denizen of the dark? Find out in this collection of comic strips by Bill Watterson. Summary of the Book Adults are big liars. They constantly tell kids that there’s no such thing as monsters. They’re terribly wrong. All along, the fiendish monsters have been pretending to hide in the closet, but their headquarters is under the bed! Thankfully, Calvin knows better than to believe his parents. His father has little credibility – after all, he did horridly in the last polls for a democratic dad. Together with his domestic tiger, Hobbes, Calvin sets forth into the great world of under-the-bed. They are terrified of the monstrosities which lurk there, but if they don’t defeat these cretins, who will? In this collection of stories, Calvin and Hobbes are at their finest, their funniest, and their most eloquent form. Collector’s Note This is the second printed collection of the comic strips.
