A number of things strike me as funny about this one, particularly the votey.

Such as...?

That dad is quite the jerk.

Conversing with the bed monster? Reminds me of another "Calvin and Hobbes" strip

One is a number, after all.

It's the loneliest number.

To be fair, I might not have been properly awake when I first read the comic so I don't really remember now what I thought was funny, other than the votey.

Probably the word "bedmonster".

But really the votey makes this one. Have you looked at the expression on that bedmonster's face in the votey?

Why don't kids get weapons or bug spray or something and kill the damn thing! They keep crying for their parents when they could take care of it themselves. If there is a monster, you really think your parents can kill it? First, get the fuck off the bed and second, call a damn exterminator!

Um, that might be a good idea if the floor weren't made of lava.

The calvin and hobbes reference is apt except it was in the closet, but Zach adds the adult angst nicely

of course not the only thing under the bed

Closet? Where? And the title is "Bedmonster", not Closetmonster.

The sole reason for having a kid, that I can see, is to act like you've just got your leg snagged by the monster under the bed as you're tucking your firstborn in at night. Followed with a Jawsian motion of being pulled under the bed and eaten alive (sound effects, theatrical blood, and a well-painted 'dismembered' manikin's leg casually tossed out from under the bed, can really add to this formative experience).

What I'm saying is that I want the issues my kid's therapist brings up to be based on memorable events, rather than a tapestry of little things.
