But as the exclusive pages below show, thats not all theyll experience during their time at the camp.
This year marks the series fourth year in print, a big accomplishment for the BOOM!

… Now its really bigger than any of us individually.
I dont think we could have done it or made it this far without our incredible team.
Boom Studios
It is so much stronger and better to have all of these peoples experience influence the book.
It speaks to more people that way.
So it was finally time to address that, and Parents Day feeds into both of those things.

It also leads into a bigger, eight-issue time shenanigans arc.
Its our first one since the original eight-issue arc that started the series.
Regarding Mollys parents, we know that her relationship with them is not the best.
Boom Studios
So I get to make up a lot of their personality and their interactions.
They can get a little exasperated with their eccentric parents, which is pretty fun to write.
By virtue of having the parents there, we instantly have more adults at camp than we normally do.
Boom Studios
And their parents seem very used to their kids shenanigans.
Hes a very normal, straightforward guy.
But I find her just total love and admiration for him so sweet.
Boom Studios
And Ripleys Abuelas back!
She is not your cliche stereotypical grandmother character.
The kids are also going to be going on a scavenger hunt.
Boom Studios
I wanted her to go creepy, and she does a really good job of that.
Im excited for people to see this new character.
It shows up at the very end of issue #38.
Boom Studios
It just depends on kind of the emotional needs of the arc.
And then you look for some critters to fit that.
With this being thefourthyear ofLumberjaneswhat are you proudest of having accomplished?WATTERS:All of it.
Can you imagine having a single-issue original comic book running for almost four years?
Especially one fronted primarily by queer people and ladies, and with a cast that is primarily ladies.
Its really, really cool.
Thats true for me as well.
A younger me would have really glommed onto this book, hardcore.
So I like being part of that.
