[[http://campcomic.com/ Camp Weedonwantcha]] is a story by artist Katie Rice about children left to fend for themselves at a nature camp that has no adults, with their only contact with the outside world being supplies occasionally dropped in by parachute, which are just as likely to contain feral cats as they are anything useful.. The comic is centered on twelve-year-old Malachi, the newest resident of the camp, and the people he meets and gets to know there.

* ParentalAbandonment: There is no real clues to just why the kids are at the camp yet, but one of the most common guesses is that its a camp for parents to simply leave unwanted children at.

Added DiffLines:

* SocialServicesDoesNotExist: The comic's premise hinges on this trope. The only indication anyone apart from the kids, and their parents, even knows of the camp's existence, let alone cares about the kids' well-being, is the occasional supply drop. And even most of those "supplies" are so useless they [[DownInTheDumps might not be intended for the kids at all]].

* BreakfastClub: All of the campers are unwanted by their parents or guardians and come from different backgrounds and have varying personalities, but what they all have in common is that they were all sent to that camp and left to fend for themselves and all seem to have emotional and personality problems and seem to be miserable together, but over the course of the comic series, they grow closer to each other.

* MushroomSamba: Seventeen's "natural remedy" for nausea causes Malachi to hallucinate vividly. Interestingly, some hallucinogenic chemical components of deadly nightshade and Jimson weed actually ''are'' used to treat stomach upset in very low doses, but it may be giving her too much credit to assume that Seventeen knew this [[spoiler:given that her cure for the overdose is a poultice made of crushed up bugs and bear feces]].

to:

* BlackComedyBlackComedy: A significant percentage of the comics are disturbing but funny. Examples include the kids playing with the parachute of a skeleton hanging from a tree, Seventeen mistaking a dead possum for one pretending to be dead and sitting over it for an entire day waiting for it to get up, and Malachi blowing on some improvised birthday candles to wish he wasn't at the camp, accidentally knocking them over and causing a huge fire.

** There are signs that Brian and Purdy have had some kind of trauma in their past since Brian almost lapses into rage-induced states and Purdy has some anger issues when she thinks someone is going to abandon her.

I think that Brian looking off to the side was more of a response to how delusional Malachi was rather than indicating past trauma. After all, Seventeen was doing it too.


*** It's worth pointing out that when Malachai said they couldn't have find Malachai Jr's (A CuteKitten) father because "[[http://campcomic.com/comic/paternity-test Moms and dads don't fight like that]]," Brian looks off to the side, with a look that makes it seem he doesn't believe that.
