Don’t push your luck Tim!
It just might push back.

The Monster Under the Bed
“Embrace your fear.”
In the first panel, with her attitude and the expression of her face, she’s really like a child.
Plus the last panel is great when she show teeth and claws. ^_^
That’s good! I find it really difficult to bring out her child-like aspects… so I’m glad my efforts are working! :3
Hee. She’s so short. And childish.
Haha, yeah. X)
It’s no wonder Tim isn’t too scared of her.
Don’t remind me that teenagers were once kids. I like to think they had some magic dust sprinkled on them and suddenly turned into the sex-obsessed nymphos of Movieland Legend…
I hope he tells her he gave it to his parents and then she opens the door and sees them going at it.
LOL! I think at that point she’d figure it was lost forever and run back home instead.
Aww but think of the plot. After she slowly sneaks back all shaken and disturbed by what she saw, Tim and form a support group for kids walking in on grownups doing it. Slowly over time they bond and thats how the romance starts.
XD Which leads to them doing it, and some kids just happen to see, which starts the cycle all over again!
*Starts Singing* Its the circle of life!!
I think that next generation might be in need of even more counselling or something after seeing a monster sexing up a human, on top of the initial sex thing. Lol
All i have too say is she looks so gosh darn adorbables, copyrighted word 2016
Lol future copyright? That gives me plenty of time to ‘Edison’ that word out from under you! Mwaaaahahahaaaaa!
nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu….ok…
*Pats you’re back* It’s okay! I won’t Bogart your word! I’ve already got plenty of my own made up words anyway!
No one said I couldnt Edison it! Come Harley to the copyright office! MWAHAHAHAHA *drives off with Harley Quinn tied up in the passengers seat*
Settle down Jack! XD haha
I love this so far I just wonder when its the next page gonna get posted I mean i want more!
The last one just went up! 😮
Gimme a few days to draw the next one! Haha!
Ok thank you so much KEEP IT UP you`re the best 😀
Awwww, shucks! *grinds toe into some dirt*
XD
Considering the number of folks asking with every page you might want to stick a little thing saying the (potential) update schedule underneath the title/logo bit on the top of the site.
I don’t mind answering those questions too much, so long as I can maintain my relatively vague update schedule of ‘on the weekend sometime’ 😉
But I’ll throw it on the list of stuff I want to add to the site eventually.
heck you could just put that as the “official” schedule. Other sites (vgcats I think is one) have someting to that effect.
Hmmm… Perhaps!
Smart enough to hide the proof, yet dumb (brave?) enough to be a smartass about it. Thats a dangerous combination.
The mirror bit seemed to irk her, can she even be seen in mirrors? I would think since she shows up in photos… Or could be the simple not confident in her own appearance bit?
Naw, she’s just miffed because he implied that she’s even weirder looking (or, in her mind jumping to the implication that she is ugly.)
An interesting tidbit, but I once considered mirrors a potential ‘weakness’ for them. In that if they ever caught a perfect reflection of themselves, they would become ‘lost’ or ‘stunned’ by the image. One joke being that she would find a mirror, and end up staring at it until the was left face down and drooling against it until Tim finds her and pulls her away, where she would then yell ‘Oh my god Thank you!’ and tell him to put that thing away.
But I think I’ll leave this trait on the cutting room floor, so to speak. Who knows.
The transfixed scenario sounds awesome!
It would be hilarious to see even if it was just a once off thing, doesnt even need to be a mirror, could be something spinning, a drinking bird, or even just a laser pointer dot.
Could even be a way to get some trust or kindness flowing between the two.
Oh god, I just had a mental image of her chasing around a laser pointer and trying to catch it under her hand. Lol
Filler Picture?
Hahaha! I love it. Its just perfectly hillarious. Special note this time: look at Tim as she pokes his nose, pure gold that expression.
I just like the nostril action in that panel. It really shows just how much she’s pushing on his nose.
For some reason I foresee this escalating into a tickle fight simply because I believe Tim has hidden the photo on his person and she wants the photo but won’t stoop to actually harming him.
WHO TOLD Y…. I mean, I dunno! Maybe. XD
I shall wait patiently for the next page. By the way, do you have a DA account?
I do! 😉
Name?
Bite him! bite him now! go for the eyes!
Lol! Maybe someday if he’s not careful!
I’m assuming this is where he gets the scratch on his back
btw what is a DA account
great job at capturing the childness in the monster ( I know childness isn’t a word)
you should reveal her name soon it is literally killing me not to tell
“Childish-ness” maybe? I dunno.
DA account is a Deviant Art gallery.
Not trying to be a creeper but what state do you live in if you live in the U.S.
I’m a Michigander.
Mooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!
I live up in the frozen north of Canada. In Ontariariariooooh!
you should add a fan art area
Oh, it’s on the mental list, along with ‘about the comic’, ‘character profiles’, a PayPal donation button… you know the usual stuff. I actually haven’t received much in the way of fan art yet (only 2 drawings and some fanfiction taking place in the same universe, but with different characters.)
I want to know is it okay if i make a fan game if i get bored
Please note it’d be pixely as F***
Pixels have a certain charm to them! I did grow up in the 80’s.
A fan game? What sort of genre are you considering? XD
And…. hell yeah! I mean, if you’re bored enough by all means! 😀
YAY, and genre, well, side scroller, or possibly point and click adventure that pretty much follows the story
and also don’t expect it anytime soon though i have a Shart computer and i usually make games from start to finish in a years time because the art and programming, you think animation is hard…well it is actually…but games ams hard to
Of course not! I know a thing or two about animation and game design both, so I’m not exactly holding my breath for a quick turnaround. If it happens at all, I know it will be quite awhile, especially if it’s following story events. 😉
I just realized this but is the image out the window, a picture of a house and tree
Yeah. I found some outdoor pictures for various windows in the house as I need them.
Im loving this! (enough so that i dug up the source work… and read it in one sitting)
Maybe a critique though (not to be a douche, it IS your comic)
Perhaps have them as children/earlier teenagers for a longer duration as the original moved to fast from this in my opinion. For the reasons:
1. These guys are god damn adorable together. I would not be surprised if this comic absolutely explodes in popularity over the next few months.
2. The source work doesn’t really develop the personalities too well before the real plot begins (feels kinda rushed honestly)But it does pick up the slack later. We were left with the base that Tim is clever and [REDACTED] was shy and a little untrusting. but not much else beyond that.
Again, not trying to be too critical of it but i do want to see the childhoods fleshed out a bit more. Also, its fantastic that nobody has spoiled anything yet! Maybe its because anyone who wen’t through enough effort to find the source wouldn’t wan’t to ruin it for someone lol.
Well, thank you!
Actually, your concerns are already taken into consideration, as I do plan on keeping them children for a little bit longer in this comic.
Chapter 2 and 3 will be completely new developments for Tim and [REDACTED] as well as new introductions to other characters much earlier in the story.
Anyway, I’ve gotta get to work now, so I’ll have to cut this short!
Thanks again though. Glad you dig it!
Thanks for the reply, i can’t wait for the next page! The weekend can’t get here fast enough.
Thank you for the nice comment! Lovely thing to read first thing this morning for sure!
Hey, I’m confused, mind if I ask a few questions?
1.How often do you post new content, I couldn’t find a written set by date, so is it random, or is it every X days?
2.I was under the impression that this is an erotic comic, however these are children, is this a loli/shota comic or is there going to be a time jump forward or what?
3.Last question, I heard you talking in the comments about ‘the source work’, what is this exactly? Is this comment based off of another story?
Thanks for reading through, and I hope for an answer soon!
Heh, once more unto the breach!
Alright, let’s see…
1. The comic updates on weekends, although there is no set schedule. Late Saturday or early Sunday, usually.
2. It isn’t strictly an erotic comic. It’s a love story, a comedy, a drama… There will be a time jump eventually where I’ll begin dealing with the actual story… There will be NO loli/shota in this comic! There may be a few innocent jokes as they learn about each other, but it will never go into questionable territory.
3. The source work is a short story I wrote, which I am using as a loose base for this comic adaptation. I don’t like giving it’s location out due to massive spoilers, although resourceful folks have found it easily enough. It’s called the same thing.
Sorry, I phrased that poorly, I meant to say on number two that I know there will be somewhat erotic moments (Such as the scene with the parents), is there never going to be any more scenes between the two at an older, post-pubescent, legal age? (I say ‘any more’ of course in reference to the first couple of pages.)
Anyway, thank you a ton for answering my questions, and I look forward to checking back weekly for new updates!
Oh! Well, yeah. Tim and her will certainly have several scenes together when they are older, but not on every page or anything. There’ll be other characters too, probably that I’ve yet to introduce that may get some ‘private’ time as well!
I’ve been wondering to what degree will the “Private Time” be? Will it be full sight like Cats’N’Cameras and Quest for Fun, or something more along the lines of MA3 or Bloomin Faeries , or is it going to following a less is more approach like Dumbing of Age (not including the slipshine stuff), though considering we have gotten an eyeful of the mother’s chest it would look to be more “explicit” than DoA.
This might be something to include in the Faq or with the schedule, if only to prevent careless viewing at work or whatnot.
Full frontal, but nothing hardcore. Just boobs and butts pretty much. Think along the lines of an R rated movie, or an HBO show and you’ll understand what I’m thinking.
