    I have read this comic from the beginning and I have signed up and logged in specifically to say something I have thought for a while.........

    Brian is awesome.

    Brian is the best camper!

    I cant help but feel that this camp is an "after-life" like place for kids who died. There are NO adults, and all of the children seem to have come from some sort of rough background.
    Seventeen could have died when the still exploded. Mal died in the chemical explosion. The kid who used to get dunked in the toilet could have drowned....

    Perhaps this camp is made to help children make peace with themselves before they move on to the next life?

    Just saying...

    I would agree, except there are quite a few kids that don't seem to have any potential cause of death in their backstory. For example, Dani got sent to camp because his songs became less famous and the family went broke or whatever. So, maybe they had to start living on the streets and he died of starvation, but that doesn't seem likely to me.

    Is it possible that the egotism has developed a crack that may result in it's utter destruction?

    The hidden cat is probably Death who comes to watch his little collection.

    This reminds me of Heath Ledger's 1st tournament in "A Knights Tale" https://youtu.be/QCWe2rfpIHI

    How do you know Dani got dumped in camp for that @ Roymaster45

  • theholyesttheholyest Registered User regular
    @loislane you get the general gist of Dani's story from his singing bit earlier, in comic 214

    A hoppy ending indeed. I'm glad that Chekhov's painted tomatoes didn't go off. As always everyone's expressions are great and convey so much about them instantly. A wonderful wrap-up.

    This was a really sweet page.
    Now, as Brian may be a quite fellow, he still knows how to get a good cheer started.

    That made my day Katie. I gave you money for your kickstarter and I have had no reason to regret it (yet). You just keep getting better and better.

    Forget movies, this storyline is the feel good hit of the summer.

    I'm not going to say I've never considered the possibility that the camp is purgatory type place, but it doesn't really fit.
    Besides being a really depressing interpretation, I don't think it fits what we know. It's just a world that operates slightly different than ours. Where unwanted kids (and cats) can be sent to a camp and forgotten about.

    I think the closest comparison I could make is Dumbo (How depressing is 95% Dumbo?). He's mocked and ostracized for a perceived failing, but the supposed failing is his greatest strength. And I think this is true for a lot of the campers.

    Obviously, some of them might just be jerks, but I like to think there's good there, too.

    I mean poor Braden seemed pretty happy just notching wood in his room and he got sent off for looking odd.

    Next time Malachi... next time.

    The first time going through I didn't even notice the mini-story with the rock tomato kids.

    Then the next time through looking for the cat i noticed the kid in the bush and his reaction to Brian. Just so much detail in this comic.

    Great job as usual, great story line.

    The only thing I couldn't figure out is which kids were the silhouette kids from the early panel, but I did notice there were 5 kids in the silhouette not 4 which I didn't notice at first. I think the kid in the middle is the red angry kid, but the other silhouettes don't make sense if that's the case

    Oh gods... Can't handle the feels!

    Beautiful end to a brilliant arc. It's comics like this that secure Camp Weedonwantcha firmly in it's place among the best.

    Wooooooooooo go Brian!

    This link led me to looking at all the Camp wallpapers, including the one with the deer pooping while jumping over Malachi. I love this comic.

    Lol

    The expressions are so great again.
    Seriously:
    The mean girls, Fred, Steve(n), the Twins

    Btw, speaking of the two mean girls, the tall red haired fair skinned freckled girl and the short black chin length haired tan skinned girl that is, I thought of two names for them back on the strip episode "Friendly Warning": the tall red headed one is Bianca and the short black haired one is Udella.
