Camping Trip: a personalized comic book gift
The tent has never once gone up on the first try, yet they still swear they love the great outdoors. Put them at the center of a camping comic where their face appears on every page: wrestling a tent in the wind, roasting the perfect marshmallow and investigating a mysterious noise at 2 a.m. Tell us about their gear obsession, the trail they love and their worst wilderness habit, and the story pitches camp around them. If the raccoons deserve speaking roles, just say so in your answers.

Questions about this comic
Can the story include our real camping disasters?
Yes. Use the 'anything special' field for the collapsed tent, the bear that turned out to be a cow or the storm everyone still talks about. The story ideas we write are built around what you share, and friends from the trip can appear when you mention them.
Can our dog come camping in the comic?
Absolutely. Mention the dog in your answers, along with its name and worst camping habit, and it can join the adventure, whether it is chasing squirrels, guarding the marshmallows or hogging the sleeping bag.
