Modern life has it's own horrors, I suppose. Still, there's nothing wrong with a good, scary yarn told around a fire. You've got your back to the dark, your best friends are close by, the night is full of wildlife sounds and dark shapes flying by… it's the perfect time for a bit of a thrill. No one expects the tales to be true, but fact-checking only ruins the fun on such an occasion. My guess is that the stories will grow better now that his batteries are running down. This comic is from Chris Hallbeck at Maximumble.
Remember little Wednesday Addams' campfire story in "Addams Family Values"?

Ha! No, I haven't seen the movie.
