Also, I just bought all the Camp Weedonwancha merchandise, except the prints (I'd rather choose which ones to get). I hope Katie gets a good portion of that revenue.

didn't realize my feral finding skills were mainly ocular background disentanglement based, made today's find surprisingly difficult.
Also, that kittie wasn't even trying! Silly kitty.
"I guess they're books people don't want."
Well done.

Like Jessie's girl
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
Where can I find her, a woman...
Where can I find her, a woman like that?
And the adorkable librarian raises another question: he's clearly well into his teens; what happens when he's fully grown?
... or read, considering technically I still haven't HEARD of that title...
He marries another camper that aged out and they have a kid, but since they were both raised in the camp and therefore have no idea how to be parents, they too drop their child off at Camp Weedonwantcha. And so the cycle continues...
Damn good job here, Katie.
Seventeen has got to be around ten years old. The lack of engaging material available aside, she is plenty old enough to be doing her own reading and not just getting read to.
If you don't pick up a love of reading at a young age, it is very difficult to learn to love it when you're older, when demands on your time will be greater and you'll increasingly be forced to read stuff you don't care about as a matter of responsibility rather than pleasure.
I basically read everything I could get my hands on from the time I was six and it still took me a couple of years to learn to read for pleasure again after college because I was in reading-intensive courses and came to associate books with obligation and work.
I understand that it's a comic, but when I hear somebody say "Kids should be playing, not reading, they can read when they're older" when the kids in question are well into their grade-school years, and they seem serious about it, that scares the shit out of me.
The only time I've ever heard someone say something like that, it was in response to a kid that never went and played outside, which I think was fair. There's no reason it should be one or the other, play outside during the day, go in and read when it starts to get dark.
I feel like this shouldn't feel like some glorious revelation. But it does.
Camp Weedonwantcha = Camp We Don't Want You.
Then we would have revolution before the morning.
