Bump In The Night

Bumpy is after a super juicy sock, but a roving glove is after the same. // Squishington thinks that getting kissed by a princess will turn him into a prince.

In which our main man Bumpy is chased, pummeled and forced to wear a tuxedo by the Cute Dolls in order that his friend Molly Coddle can go to a tea party she has her heart set on.

Squishington has a cold, and Mr. Bumpy vows to cheer his pal up by doing a magic trick pulling a rabbit out of a hat!//Bumpy accidentally insults his best bud Squishington. Oh, woe! Bumpy would do anything to right his wrong, so he hatches a plan to go back in time and undo his mistake. But on the way, he must face past versions of himself, and a complete inability to not insult Squish over and over again. In the end, he learns that a simple apology is bestbut only after tampering with the very workings of Time: the Fourth Dimension!!!

Destructo is accidentally programmed to silence anyone making Too Much Noise.//Squishington has the cleaning jones. He is gonna clean every single germ out of his bathroom, if its the last thing he does. And it just might be. When he and Bumpy shrink themselves down to the microscopic level to disinfect the germs mano-o-germo, things get pretty rough. A cute girl germ gets the hots for Squish, and he must fight off her amorous advances as well as the father of all germs, the giant killer amoeba, or he and Bumpy will be nothing but virus droppings.

When Bumpy wants money desperately, he gloms onto the phrase: A Penny For Your Thoughts, and begins thinking furiously.//In which Molly Coddle makes a new woman: out of herself, piece by piece. First a gorilla arm, then a hairdryer arm, then the leg of Action Man. Suddenly, Molly is no longer the sweet wonderful comfort doll she always was, but a horrible power-crazed monster doll!! Will good triumph over evil? Will kindness win out in the end? I dont know, after all, this is Bump In The Night.

Oops! Bumpy has mistakenly eaten the Boys homework and must brave a whole slew of dangerous story problems that involve out-of-control locomotives, the Closet Monster, and turning himself inside-out, in order to set things right.//When Bumpy finds an old smoking pop bottle, hes absolutely positive theres a genie inside. There isnt, just a wise-cracking, confident silverfish named Phil, whos willing to take advantage of Bumpys gullibility to get a nice meal, some new clothes and all the comforts of home. It works, up until the end, when bumpy finds out that if you work for those things you wish for, you can get themeven if you dont have a genie.

Poor Squishington, hes become an outcast, a refugee, another statistic in the ever-escalating problem of homelessness.//Bumpy and Squish play Hide and go Freak, a game where you turn your head inside out, make you scariest face and frighten the bejeebers out of your surprised playmates! The boys want to get Molly in on the game, but shes a comfort doll and is built to hug, not frighten. She finally stumbles onto a way to turn the tables on her scary pals, and reduces them to quivering wrecks, winning the game and having a ball in the process!

Molly gets the bright idea of becoming a doctor, so she sends away for a mail-order course in basic medicine.//Bumpys ordered a really cool, neato, humungous toy robot from the back of a breakfast cereal box. Boy, is it gonna be great! Squishington is kinda worried though. The robot looks very big, massive and threatening. To Squishs relief (and Bumpys bummer), the robot, when it arrives, turns out to be a little cute mechanical droid, not a big, threatening robot. Unfortunately, late that night something big and threatening is howling to the skies. Is it the giant? And how did it get in the house?! No one will believe Squish, because all they see is the cute droid. A dark and terrible secret is revealed at the end, but youll have to watch it to find out what.

Bumpy hates babies, no ifs ands or butts. Babies and Bump just dont mix. Bumpys gone gum greedy. Hes chewed, spewed and swallowed every piece in the house. And he wants more.

Aliens bent on invading the Earth accidentally abduct Bumpy; who is they.//Heavens!! The boy cant sleep, and if he cant sleep, his Mom says hes gonna turn into a zucchini!!! Not that!! Well, Bumpy isnt gonna let that happen to his hero, his idol, the giver of all things dirty, gooey and wonderful. Nope, no way, not in a million years. Unfortunately, no matter what Bumpy tries, it only keeps the Boy more awake obviously, since the Boys hearing Bumpy. What to do? What to do? It is up to the Bumpmeister to make the ultimate sacrifice: go up against the Closet Monster, in the hopes of letting his Boy get some shut eye.

Squishingtons stomach is ticking! Bumpy thinks its a bomb!//Squish hates his face. He thinks its worthless and boring. Who would want a face like this? Well, when our blue guy accidentally wipes his face off onto his washrag, we find out who would want his face. Silverfish! Yup, Squishys face is valuable. Possibly the most valuable thing the Silverfish could have: they all but worship it! Now Squish must somehow convince a whole subbasement full of hostile silverfish to give him back his face. Just goes to show that ones mans face is another mans icon.

Molly Coddle is a comfort doll extraordinaire. Yup, there isnt anything she cant comfort, or so she feels.//Bumpy has a problem: he cant stop eating socks. Hes a sockaholic!! He enlists the aid of his pal Squishington to break him of this terrible habit. But to no avail. When Squish finally puts his own life on the line in order to save Bumpy, and end is in sight but whose end?

The tables are turned when strange radiations mutate a harmless slice of bread into a slavering, feeding-frenzied, piece of terror toast!//Mr. Bump is turned into a baby and sentenced to time in the Big Crib. In a film noire parody of every prison movie ever made, bumpy must survive in the brutal babies world of high chairs, patty-cake and dirty diapers. Along the way, he must take on the head honcho: Big Mike, the Pacifier King. But even if he survives that, will he live through The Burping??
