Mom: Petey, I think you need to socialize with other kids like you who don't like to socialize with other kids like you! Petey: Will I have to make lanyards?

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

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 !!!

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

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.
