When we started The Spookies, Hobbes and I sought to establish and populate an alternative monster world in which the characters lived and worked. After a few strips, this idea took a back burner to trying to make the strips funny because who the f wants a lesson on the details of a made-up land when they can get a monster telling a dick joke?

Well, as it turns out, some of you liked us expanding upon the universe of The Spookies, so that’s what this strip was designed to do. The guys are monsters and they make their living scaring kids and I made up some device that lets them project themselves into the dreams of children in order to do that. All to pay off in the end with a butt joke. What can I say? I’m addicted to the highbrow. Hopefully you guys enjoy the expanded six-panel comic and the window into The Spookies’ world that it provides. And, if you didn’t, go read some Family Circus, you goddamn L7.
