Fortunately, it was the worst week — not two weeks — of my life. I think I’d have been better off going to the bar with my sister. At least there I could’ve learned something about running a business.
On the plus side Charlie Brown, Snoopy and Woodstock might tag along again. Just do not let the bus drive off without you again. “What about me? You forgot me!”

I always find it hilarious that the parents seem to have no input in what happens to their kids in the Peanuts world. The kids have to manage their lives themselves. But that is part of the charm and subtle commentary the strip makes.

It’s basically forcing you to go to summer camp.

Who else is going to be at camp? Roy or the boy on the cot who says, “shut up and leave me alone”?

I’ve never understood this American obsession with sending kids to summer camp.

I don’t think the timeline entirely matched up, but was this plotline a reference to the draft?

Sounds like a prison term handed down by a judge.

At least Charlie Brown doesn’t need to get a “Boot-Camp” style haircut.

Two weeks are nothing. From 1969-71, I spent eight weeks at sleepaway camp.

Charlie Brown, it’s so you can meet up with a kid that says “Shut up and leave me alone” ( or something like that ).

As a country kid, I never got sent to camp. The camps were where I lived. The city kids came up to experience the country life.

The only reason kids get sent to camp is because the folks want time to themselves.
