Hello, I’m Ren, the 20-something-year-old American comic artist behind kampingchicken! Born, raised, and residing in the Pacific Northwest, I’m best known for my terrible sense of direction, a slight obsession with pineapples, and binging shows on Netflix. Of course, when I’m not utilizing those skills, I spend my time drawing. My comics, like their name, are often unusual, a pretty good mix between amusing slice of life encounters and the weird.
Drawing has always been my creative outlet, and paired with a love for storytelling, comics quickly became an ideal way to express myself. In 2017 I showed some comics I’d scrawled out in a notebook to a friend while we were camping, and surprised by how much he enjoyed them, I began sharing with friends and family, and then took to the internet. Whenever I can get people to smile, laugh, or relate with my work, my heart is warm. I make art for love, kindness, and the weird things in life.

My wife and I have hugs like this. It's probably my favorite thing to do in the whole world.
My daughter and I have hugs like this all the time and I treasure each and every single one.

White Shirts
TBH, this is the most frustrating thing about buying women’s clothing these days. So effing much of it is cheaply made, made of cheap fabric, paper thin, too small by design, more likely than not to have some kind of stupid or offensive (sometimes both) logo or statement on it, way overly revealing—-too low cut or cut out in embarrassing places, slit way too high or low, and way too short to wear in a professional office. And the pockets. The Pockets! What pockets? No Pockets! Where did all the well made, durable, elegant, understated, and classically designed clothing go?
And now with phones getting bigger and bigger wear the hell do our phones go not in our pocket to small and not in bag cause that to handy are we do they want us to just hold it and drop ahhhh

Comfortable
like when you're in bed and need to go to the toilet but you're just about to fall asleep and you try to go without losing any "tired"
The worst...for all those with a newborn/infant...when they pass out on you and you have no remote, no phone, and your coffee in across the room. Ughhhhhh the worstttt
Snapping Turtle
I have been bitten by snapping turtles—-twice, and still have a faint, mouth-shaped scar on my arm from one of them—-while rescuing them on the road. I basically pick them up if they’re heading to, or are in the middle of, the road and put them in the grass on the side (always in the direction they were heading, btw). They’re always very ill-tempered and most ungrateful when I save their lives, the (literal) stinkers. Ah well...
this is very true. I believe they are born with an eternal bad attitude. They hate everything from the get-go :P

It's Always Good To Have Honest People In Your Life
Yep I’ve dated those mean teasing guys ;-; the whole relationship I was either blushing or trying to punch him... it all ended pretty quick...
There's a perfectly good reason for that. I know what it is. You know what it is. Everyone who saw that Yoga Girl post knows what it is.
Load More Replies...Sometimes I don't, just being honest. I'm a introvert so yes, there are times when she's not around where I don't miss her.
I gotta say, don't know if this is just me, but more often than not I don't miss my girlfriend. We are tied together with so much love, and we text all the time. It's hard to miss someone when they are always in your heart <3! Sure I miss the physical contact all the time, and being with her, but no distance can separate us and this feeling :)

Some People Just Don't Like Hypothetical Questions As Much As I Do
My hubby and me. I live asking hypothetical questions, but he takes them too seriously. Lol.
Wrong answer. The answer is ALWAYS cats. Even if the question is dogs, the answer is still cats.
Question: what animal is a member of the genus Canis (canines), which forms part of the wolf-like canids,[6] and is the most widely abundant terrestrial carnivore? (thank you, Wikipedia)
Load More Replies...Then you make up things up like if dogs never excisted and you would die without a cat
I would die without my cat thank you for realizing. :D
Load More Replies...I get the allergy makes you adverse to cats, and maybe cats are not really for you, but when you say 'cannot stand them,' it's like, why? What have cats done to you that you dislike them so? Personally, I don't ever want a dog -- they are not right for my lifestyle, but I'd never say I 'can't stand them' and if I had to answer a hypothetical 'what dog would I get,' I would be able to do it without complaining I'd 'never get a dog' (even if I wouldn't) or that I just want a cat because they are 'better' or whatever... like honestly. If you can't stand a loving domesticated pet like a cat just because its not the kind of pet you like, you aren't like 'cool' for preferring dogs or whatever, you're just pretty intolerant to animals.

Load More Replies...Back From The Beach
Same, but it would have to be one without tourists. I lived in a beach resort for several years, and obnoxious tourists can make it hell on earth. You get no sleep at night, and end up avoiding the beach during peak swimming and sunbathing months because it’s too crowded and you’re working too many hours to feel like doing anything at all. Basically, you can’t enjoy all the things that make you dream of living at the beach during the best months to enjoy the beach. Sucks, but it’s true. Guess my perfect beach is on a private island away from all but my chosen few close friends and family members, when and if I invite them—-though friendly animals have an open invitation and are welcome anytime.
