    Ohh yeahhhh BTDT… ;)

  2. Maia says:

    I love the comic – pacing is great!

    But doesn’t Ben wear socks with those mangy old shoes? Ewwwww

  3. Shoe says:

    MEATSHIELD!!!!!

  4. Alvin says:

    oh man, simply hilarious. A+++

  5. Kira says:

    Why doesn’t Ben’s leg show up in the mirror in the second-to-last panel?

    • Bridget says:

      Whoops, my bad. Geez, I’m making mistakes all over the place lately! I’ll have to go in and fix that up.

      • Sean says:

        Uhm… I hate to point this out… but there’s a second mistake. In the second-to-the-last panel, Ben’s right leg is on the ground. But in the next panel (last panel) it’s on the chest. I saw the comment about the “no legs in the reflection”, which made my eyes catch the second leg thing.

        Sorry. :(

      • AlpineBob says:

        Ben moving his leg between panels is reasonable so I hought nothing of it. I did think about mentioning the reflection myself, but finally just figured its selective property was artistic license – putting ben in the mirror there will move Charlie’s reflection so far back as to make her hilarious bug-eyed expression hard to see…

    • Bex says:

      XD His reflection is shy. It only shows up when it thinks no-one is looking.

  6. gingerbread says:

    Ben is a vampire!!!

  7. Hilary says:

    Yeah, I like the vampire theory.

  8. Ali says:

    I seriously laughed out loud when I read this. Oh my God! SO FUNNY!!! XD

  9. Wynne says:

    Nice job there, Charlie. *facepalm*

    I love Charlie’s expression in the mirror in the second to last panel. It says it all.

  10. Sean says:

    I just noticed… the reflection that scares Charlie is holding a hat.

    Ben wasn’t holding a hat when they went up to the attic. Nor does he pick one up in the attic.

    The ghost, however, has a hat:

    I officially laughed till I cried at this. My dog thinks I’m insane.

    • dadman says:

      Really, don’t all dogs think ALL humans are insane?

      Mine sure looks at me with a mixture of pity and confusion when i won’t get up, run outside with her, and roll in something dead she’s found.

  12. dadman says:

    Back on-topic, I saw that hat too. At least I THINK it’s a hat, and not something in the background.

    Charlie’s caught her breath, but I’m still holding mine…

  13. AlpineBob says:

    Well, the ‘reflection’ is indistinct, so it could be something behind the figure which just appears to be a hat in his hand. Or it could be ghost-related. We may never know! ;)
    I didn’t even worry about that until I read your posts, as I had noticed that we never see Ben’s right hand before the scare. But I was fooling myslef, as it is the left hand the ‘reflection’ which appears to be holding something…

  14. Erentry says:

    lol has anyone noticed that ben’s feet vanish occasionally. like that time with the sign out front and now in the mirror… what the heck is up with that? ^-^
