“Embrace your fear.”
shadow vs Howie mandel I would def choose her
No other option, really!
lol im wondering if anyone even knew what I ment
I know exactly what you mean!
You know now.
Can’t drink Apple juice since watching that movie lol, is it juice or per Idk anymore
LMFAO, YES!! Psychic super mom!
On our budding couples end of business I hope her story isn’t too heart breaking.
She’ll be okay! 🙂
Sorry still can’t get over the psychic ability the mom has, sure she isn’t a monster as well? ^_^
Sure, IN bed! 😉
Missed last week so got some catching up on the comments.
On page 41 loved how Tim was holding shadow and she had such a “whats he doing” look. Was kiiiinds hopeing they would fall out with the dress fliped over on her but still this page is greeeeat. Now to keep raiding the fridge or go out to the corner store really quick with shadow and buy a snack. Was really hopeing they would REALLY get out the house for an adventure. Just four characters have been introduced so my Deadpool senses are telling that some new ones are comeing soon. Can’t wait to see her world aswell, customs, pets, food, (bathroom?[talking about #2 and toilets]), and culture. I know you hinted at a few things so far Mr Brandon like communal tubs/showers but I want moooore nooooaw. Like really. She wont even talk about her parent situation? Are there no old people in her world? Do the morlocks get em and eat em? Open up! Seriously, you’re killing me here Brandon!
I’m a straight guy but, I’ve been wondering, do you plan on giving some fan service to the ladies? And wanted to add.. even if Richard got promoted to Rear Admiral, he’ll still be one ranked lower than her. Thank you for the cookie line,didn’t think you would add it. 2 pages for that punchline! Nice setup.
Also I been noticeing the bold lettering. Guessing thats the old foreshadowing technique of clueing the readers in on the future events…? If I ever had one negitve criticism about this, my favorite comic, it would be that the names are too simple. I reread the older pages to pass the week trying to spot things and umm scientific reasons. Had my suspicions about the mom… The original material is just calling to me. But got other things to deal with. Tried a few days ago and couldnt find it. May dig deeper next time.
S: “So. Whats this under…wear thing you mentioned? Sounds like dark magic.”
T: “No its…Wait, what? You have have magic?!”
Fun fact: the underwear we have now was invented untill the early 1900s. Before that it was either going comando or looping/wraping thin cloth around your waist like a diaper.

Knew this long ago.
And then I remembered monsters don’t use human social norms.
Yes, new characters are coming very soon; like (if my current plan holds up) in 2 more pages we’ll meet somebody new.
It’s not that she won’t talk, she is prohibited from talking to humans and purposely avoids giving away any more information than she has to. Of course, as time goes by, these rules will soften and finally break completely. Sorry for killing you, please don’t die!
Lady fanservice should mostly accompany the Male fanservice, as for the most part people will be naked together. Of course, I’m almost certain that well over 50% of my audience are males. If this is wrong then speak up ladies! I want to hear from you!
The bold lettering isn’t some secret code or anything, it’s just visually putting an inflection on how each character is speaking. There is more force on those particular words. Everyone does this naturally, or else we’d all sound like monotone robots.
Oh, and yes, she outranks him doubly so! XD
And yes, the names are pretty simple, but that’s just how I roll.
I love you dude. Your so good to your fans! With the quick response. Do you plan to go to conventions to promote this work?
Maybe someday! There’s a local annual Comic-con around here I’d consider looking into eventually. I mean, I’ll be going anyway (with awesome costume!), but will I get a table someday? Who knows…
Anyway, I’ll have to leave you hanging for now, as I must be getting off to bed. Work tomorrow and all.
Will reply again ASAP!
It’s not Tim’s sister/brother is it?
Uhhh…? Tim doesn’t have any siblings. Not sure what you mean!
And loved the Monster From the Closet reference.
Yes, the foreshadowing is strong with this page; you guys just don’t know it yet.
(Well, some of you readers do…)
Brilliant! Hahaha, poor cookie-snatcher, he’ll be howling ere the night is over. He should have brought her one as well.
Haha, yep!
Damn dude. So much context in so little story! Bravo. Foreshadowing of closet monsters, Shadow’s got a bit of tragedy to her backstory, and……Tim’s father considers B&D sex with his hot wife a punishment for some reason. Eh. To each their own. I guess. 😛
More context than you know is strewn about this story. Some subtle stuff you’ll discover later on is already buried in there. 😉
Captain Ruth strikes again
Haha, indeed she does!
You did a good job making her look curvy, almost lumpy, without making it unattractive. What I would give to have a wife or girlfriend like VAR too :3
She’s a little plump, but in all the right places!
I only just happened to come across this while I was supposed to be working. I can say that this was a lovely story and I’m curious about the romance in the future. I’ll risk it if you supply it.
Well, I’ll certainly keep supplying it!
Isn’t it awfully nice to have some parents?
Isn’t it frightfully nice to just belong?
It’s fun to have a father, it’s so good to have a mom,
From the tiniest little root to the world’s biggest bomb.
So let’s cheer for your pater and your mater.
Give thanks for your source and fountainhead.
Your guardians, your origins, your folks, your root, your stock.
You can give ‘em gifts on holidays, but just don’t forget to knock
When you go into their bedroom or you’ll get a dreadful shock,
That you won’t—for—get…
Lol! Nice!
Extra points if you can figure out what I parodied…
Umm… it DOES sound familiar, but I’m not sure off the top of my head.
Think Monty Python.
a tager, dink,,,, glorious to have a ….
Well, one of the lines in the movie was “better get a bucket.”
wtfamireading
and when does it update?
The Monster Under the Bed web comic, and Sunday. 😉
It’s a date, you weirdo.
were all weird here,, its the best kind. 🙂
I just found this and I have to say thank you kindly for this masterpiece
Heh, you’re very welcome!
We need some sexy artwork of the loli version of Shadow, stat!
God dammit. Another movie to watch. Anyway. I do have this nostalgic feeling about another monster movie…short. From “Creepshow (1982) The Crate.” Now before you say anything I’m not that old…born in 1992. And I just watched good television. Anyway, I can’t help but imagine well see some monsters like that eventually.
Hey…. I’m not old either and I WAS born in 1982! Dang young whippersnappers and their fancy phones and internets and HD everything! XD
old…? i graduated in 83… sooo
Give it some time. Eventually DeviantArt and tumblr with have fan made artwork of your comic.
I’m working on one, but commissions got me tangled up. Working on an adult Shadow and Tim scene (nothing TOO naughty, but has some comedy in it)
Oh yeah? Neat!
I’ll add it to the gallery when it’s finished whenever!
Well haven’t commented in a while. Looks like there’s a new captain. I wonder if the old one will have to walk the plank?
I doubt it, the Admiral needs his plank first. D’ohhohoho!
