Mom: How was your last day at Cartoon Camp? Petey: A bee got in the classroom. So Mr. Spinnerack let us run around outside in our costumes. Alice: Next year I want to go to Cartoon Camp! Petey: But I got overwhelmed by self-consciousness and hid behind the bike rack.

Petey remains true to himself.
Alice, there are no fish slapping bears at Cartoon Camp, either…

What is Loris dressed as?

Sisyphos, I bet there’s a whole host of cartoonist wannabe’s amongst us. I know I’m one.
And I never went to camp of any sort as a kid. That’s why I’m so messed up.

Were you the last one out the door, Petey?

Wish there was a cartoon camp when my youngest was in elementary school. Her papers always had doodles drawn on them and most of the teachers discouraged her in doing anything with her art. She still is always drawing and has had some of her work used in some Amine Magna books. She’s at college now as a Math major w/ education as a minor and uses her art and graphics on the side to help pay for college

Amen, cdward! In fact, my avatar is simply a cartoon character I doodled 40 years ago in school for the amusement of self and friends. (It’s obviously good that I kept my day job, I know …)

I spent 12 years in what I thought was Cartoon Camp. Barely graduated in ‘57.

Judging from the cartoon, Petey is still out of the loop.
cdward about 14 years ago
Steve, that’s a great idea. Maybe soon I’ll switch my avatar to a character I drew years ago. If I can find it.
