Hal, called Cartboy, is excited about summer sleep-away camp. Unfortunately, his Revolutionary War re-enactor father has a special camp in mind: Camp Jamestown. Considering Hal's idea of summer vacation (sleeping until noon, eating doughnuts, playing RavenCave), it's hard to imagine a less welcome idea. Hal's fans will enjoy his cynical commentary, his humorous black-and-white sketches and timelines, and the photos sprinkled throughout.
