Neal Holman, whom you might remember from such pinnacles of awesome as Silly Spider Monkey Fiasco, Frisky Dingo, and Sealab 2021, has a comic in an online competition which I think you’ll really dig.

Rather than try to explain it myself, I’ll let its synopsis do the talking:

Predictably, the legend of the giant monster turtle that eats little campers like so much candy comes true, ruining a perfectly good summer at Camp Thunderhawk. From the chaos, four counselors (Peter, Raj, Sarah K. and Sara G.) arise to lead their kids to safety and slay this rampaging jerk of a turtle, all while dealing with the epic rigors of summer love. And zits. And Warren Timmings, the crazy man from the woods. Did I mention there’s a crazy man from the woods? It’s a summer camp story. There’s a crazy man, his name is Warren, and he is most definitely from the woods. Love, Lust and a Giant Killer Turtle is our love note to summer camp, teenage romance and bad monster movies. It’s fun, it’s utterly ridiculous, and it’s terrifying, a comedic horror story told with real characters suffering real loss through absurd circumstances. In movie terms, think Shaun of the Dead as opposed to Scary Movie and its various offspring.

You can peruse Love, Lust, and a Giant Killer Turtle here on Zuda Comics. If you do indeed dig it, I encourage you to join up at that site and vote for it in the competition. If it wins, Zuda will give Neal and his co-conspirator Chad Hurd an ongoing series, and that can only end well for all of us.
