The Ants Go Camping
antcomics on Nov. 30, 2007
Hey kids! It's time for another Antcomics 2008 calendar submission!
This is the September cartoon…September is a fantastic time to camp. So that's why I chose a camping theme. Plus I really like drawing bears.
Marco's giant sandwich is sort of a rip-off from Scooby Doo. I really dig Merrick's hat too.
Hey that rhymed!
Only TWO MORE to go, by the way! Yeaaaahhh!
Okay, well anyhow. Got some links and stuff to share withya. I have gotten numerous fantabulous pieces of fan art to show you in my FanArt section. Check out some great Adam cameos here:

I also recently put up another older comic of mine, about two corn snakes called Slippy and Alice (based on my real corn snakes), here:

Lastly, “Cartoon Grab Bag” is a repository of various cartoons I have done over the years. Every submission is a surprise–it could be something recent, something from high school…or even something I did when I was six! You just never know.

Hey Terry Lee, I do that with my marshmellows all the time. Then I wave them around to make it look like a meteor. It's awesome, especially at night.

That is TOO funny! I love the Scooby Doo reference and the burning marshmallow - I think it's the way I'd like it best, too. I like my sausages half burned to pure carbon. And Marco seems to have discovered the latest hype: retrosexuality ;) Yay for stubble and chest hair! ;)

this is so fun! I love the fall. Can't say I love marshmallow choppin' bears...they turn meat eaters rather quick!

I'M DONE!!! I read them all! I feel so proud... Just for your information, I am the kind of guy who comments on each page, but I didn't do that for your archive. This is what makes your comic great: The coloring. IT IS AMAZING! The wacky expressions! So good! I feel expressions are more important than how the body looks. The cartoony character style. Also, how could I forget, the funny factor.

Hey if they're from [b]Great[/b] Britain, why is there a bear there?... I'm just been mean now aren't I? Anyway, great as always! (Could've escaped from a zoo now that I think of it...)

I LOVE this one! The autumnal colors are so bright and cheerful! Everything here is so full and fun...And I love roasted marshmallows. (Though not so much when they get burned.) :D *lol*
