*shivers* This reminds me of being a child and being convinced, absolutely convinced, that there was a monster in the closet (or under the bed, or what-have-you), only the adults don't believe you so you're the only one who knows it's there. . . .

The flippant response to this title is "Oh, noes, my housekeeping style has become public knowledge!"

The rather more serious response is to remember that Danny Brady is still in the closet to his parents (especially his mother). Plus he's worried that telling his mother about the Anomaly would give It an avenue to attack her.

Eeep.

I had a brief flash of the blue fuzzy monster from the movie, popping out of someone's closet.  *sigh*

We could also surmise that this topic has something to do with the skeletons of all sorts you might find in the closet.  I wonder how many skeletons, and what kind, Reyes is hiding in his closet?

But no, it says Closet Monster, not Skeletons in the Closet.

Off to wonder some more about all the horrible possibilities.

Closets-as-in-hiding-things makes sense, but it made me think of either a small child Gamma, or one that preys on small children.

I vote for both.

As in the title refers both literaly to the gamma and less literally to the appropriately thematic backstories and current events in the teams lives.

Ursula Vernon who writes and illustrates many things including my beloved Digger (http://www.diggercomic.com) (geologist wombat dealing with a dead god and a Ganesh statue... nevermind, I really can't do it justice) has another webcomic of things she worries about here: http://www.webcomicsnation.com/uvernon/irrationalfears/series.php including the things under the bed.

I'm beginning to worry that the imaginary internet friends I have are a bit... incestuous when it comes to the internet places we go. 

Things/Persons I've seen mentioned here that I pay attention to myself - without knowing the people who bring them up:

Continuous Coast (of course, I think I may have brought this one here, myself...)
The Dream Cafe
Ursula Vernon
Narbonic

Nah, we're just a collection of like-minded people. Exhibit A: MadGastronomer and I also brought Continuous Coast to the attention of the assembled Deltas, and Splashiator used to hang out here, back when the M2I bridge worked.

I checked on Digger... and got hooked immediately.

Anyone have any idea when the M2I bridge will be working again?

*tongue-in-cheek* Like minded?  What's that you say?

I also follow both Ursula Vernon and a couple of Shaenon Garrity's comics (including Narbonic), but I usually read Dream Cafe on the LJ feed.
In fact, I'm pretty sure I've mentioned Digger on these boards before, possibly recommending the to Tylik because of the slug.

Yes, you did.  In Myths over Miami, but I missed it somehow.
