Camp Candy Doujinshi and Comics

The show was set in a fictional summer camp run by Candy. The animated series spawned a brief comic book series based on the show; also entitled Camp Candy, it was published by Marvel Comics' Star Comics imprint.

Almost all episodes would begin where John Candy would be trying to show an outdoor skill to some kids, to which he would then say it reminded him of a story, where he would tell of the episode in narration. John was a dedicated leader of Camp Candy, a summer camp that is presumably built by him, and he tries to get various kids to get along.

The children included Robin McClain - a nature-loving girl; Alex Dawson - a tomboy; Vanessa Van Pelt - a rich & snobbish fashionista; Iggy Jones - a hypochondriac; his more adventurous younger brother George "Binky" Jones; and Rick Quimby - an arrogant prankster. Adult characters included Nurse Molly, who had a crush on John but he never seemed to take notice as he was interested in an attractive redheaded receptionist called Miss Sweetingham.

John's main antagonists were Xavier DeForest III — a man who seeks to demolish Camp Candy in order to make way for a condominium, and Chester — a dimwitted greaser employed by DeForest. Another antagonist included Hob Nayles, a strict disciplinarian who headed the rival Camp Kickboot and sought to humiliate John, but was really a coward at heart.
