An excellent question, Petey!

Sounds like a “Special Camp”

Go Petey, you may just have fun.

It might be fun, Petey!

GM, Marg & LS!

I don’t think that Petey likes fun.

Isn’t that the purpose of internet social networking?

That’s right, Mom. Reeeeeel him in.

They made me go once with the same hopes. I was traumatized for years.

No lanyards! Nooooooo!

no gymp! No lanyards! no pot holders! No Stan Lee altars!

Yeah, but will the menu appeal to Petey? It could be a lot of days without eating.

But it will be a toon lanyard - it’ll take whatever shape you want.

I hope Camp Toonaway isn’t like they camp I went to; we had to go to the beach for two days because it was being fumigated.

they made charles whitman go to camp and then one day- he got even

I would go–Hey, Mrs. Otterloop, if Petey stays can I go??

go ahead and go petey, summer camps can be a learning experience

i still have one of those lanyards made for me by a neighbor kid who had MD back in the 50’s at a summer camp for kids with disabilities,I keep in in a memento box and each time i see it, i think of the struggles he went through growing up.

Oh BOY! A whole CAMP full of Peteys! This is going to be fun!

One question intrigues me: Of all the Peteys in the world, is he the Peteyest? Or will he meet up with someone even Peteyer?

What a fun summer .. all the campers will have private rooms and just lay on their bunks reading comics / graphic novels all day and NOT going out side where there are germs and activity. and maybe there will be a diorama making class or talks on how to out blather a little sister with hourly updates from the Pickyeaters website!

Where can I sign up !!!

I love Mrs. Otterloop! Camp is fun. Go for it, Petey.

EVERYBODY has to make at least ONE lanyard while a child, Petey. That and the misshapen clay ashtray…it’s the law.

Why haven’t I heard about that camp!?

Thank you for addressing such an important topic. I have been interested in his comic life. Maybe we can learn more about his funnybook history.

The Lanyard, a poem by Billy Collins in his book The Trouble With Poetry. A funny and sad camp and Mother’s Day rumination.
