Midnight Pals: A New Mom

Lucy Clifford: Submitted for the approval of the Midnight Society, I call this the tale of the new mother
Clifford: now then
Clifford: you must all remember that if you’re bad
Clifford: your mother will abandon you and you’ll get a new monster mother
Barker: haha badass
Clifford: NO
Clifford: no clive it is not

Clifford: this new mother, she’s got glass eyes
Clifford: and a wooden tail
Clifford: I can’t emphasize this enough
Clifford: she is REAL fucked up

Clifford: so these kids are real naughty
Clifford: until their mom is all “I must leave, my home planet needs me”
Clifford: “here’s your new mom”
Clifford: “she’s a monster btw”
Clifford: “enjoy”

Clifford: anyway the kids just live the rest of their lives in the woods, eating nuts and berries
Clifford: and every so often they sneak up to the windows of the house where they used to live
Clifford: in the vain hope that maybe their mother has come back
Clifford: but no it’s always the monster mom in there
Clifford: The end
Clifford: sweet dreams, everyone!

Shelley: I’m not scared of ANY mother

Shelley: some mother tries to scare me, I’ll fuck on her grave
Shelley: just like I did with the old mother!
Shelley: see if I don’t!

Comments

Not a coincidence, actually! Neil Gaiman has said that he took inspiration for the Beldam in Coraline from Clifford's The New Mother.

Kind of reminds me of Caroline. Also, is Clifford the old mother or the new mother?
