I don't quite get what's going on. There are... duplicates... rabbit nunchucks... a... maypole... but I really like the simple watercolor style you have. These could easily be the illustrations in a really trippy kid's book or something -- just... minus any negative connotations that might have. :<

Makes sense to me. Really, just "read" every image step-by-step and you'll know what is going on. It's called "graphic storytelling".

Yeah but from what I see, its like:
Kid cant' sleep
Monster pops out
Kid whacks monster with teddy
Monster cries
Kid somehow multiplies into lots
Start beating the monster up
Make nunchucks out of teddies
Start playing with Monster
Lock Monster in a closet
Set house on fire or something
Kid falls to sleep inside monsters mouth

Seems wierd to me =\

They're not duplicates they're her buddies its just that all lolis look the same. And panel 12's supposed to be streetlights.

It's not really supposed to be THIS IS FUCKING OBVIOUS which is why I didn't add the words (originally this had words too).

So work it out yourself :)
 
Hmm, it could be a retelling of an overimaginitive child's struggle to sleep one night, only for her to drift off halfway through her battle with the physical manifestation of insomnia, which could explain away the nunchucks and maypole dancing.

Step 1: Girl is awake. She decides that the reason she cannot sleep is that a monster under her bed feeds off her exhaustion/may die if she sleeps, and is keeping her awake because of that.
Step 2: A monster appears!
Step 3: Possible drift to sleep; the girl grabs her bunny, and with it she goes to sleep, effectively beating insomnia (and thus the head smack). Of course, she's asleep and doesn't know it.
Step 4: The pokemon is weak, throw the pokeball! The girl has smacked the monster, but it was ineffective...
Steps 5&6: ...so she decides that by multiplying herself endlessly, she can overcome the monster with sheer numbers. Possibly a metaphor for "a multiplying sense of bravado".
Steps 7&8: Menacing lolis beat on the monster.
Steps 9&10: Holy shit, special move!
Step 11: The loli has defeated the monster, and locks it into the darkest regions of her psyche so that she doesn't have to deal with it again.
The End: Her bravado proves itself to be fleeting. She curls up to sleep, satisfied with the victory. Sleeping in the monsters mouth may represent possible problems to come, or perhaps is a note of "the world is full of evils".

Or it could just be fucking cute.

Your creativity is non existant jbrist.

Very well done Wumpi, its a cool little story here.  Perfect for something like Grim's Faery Tales.

I like Cap's : D

Originally, I was under the impression that the monster was her pet or something, a la HOOT USE BEAK (I'm unsure about how I might use accent marks, sorry.) She was going to bed and the monster wanted to play, so she gathered her buddies, but... Since the monster seemed to be in an increasing state of misery throughout the panels, I had to abandon that most bogus theory. : P
 
This is quite possibly the best thing I've seen all week. But I think that bunny (pic 2) is a bit on the er... ebil side. That is one scary bunny.

The monster and Fido from HOOT are one and the same. This is the life of misery that Jenny rescued him from.

NOTE: This isn't supposed to be at all LOLDEEP, it's meant to be taken as is. No deep hidden dark meanings, sorry :)

Aw. I had a great theory about how the monster represented the French monarchy and the girl was actually Napoleon in a nightie. :'<

Napoleon in a nightie would've been frightful. He'd probably have managed to win Waterloo with such powerful garments.
