“Tundra” a Winner!

February 3, 2009

tundra–Chad Carpenter’s comic strip Tundra has been around since late 1991, but has just recently found publication in newspapers in my area.  The comic usually deals with wildlife, nature, and outdoor life, and was named best newpaper panel of 2007 by the National Cartoonists Society, also receiving the Reuben Award in 2008.

One of the fastest growing comic strips on the planet, Tundra is written and drawn by Carpenter, who hails from Wasilla, Alaska.  Wolves,  bears, caribou, and snowmen may be seen in the strip, which has grown from publication in seven newspapers to around 200.  The strip’s humor is universal rather than specifically Alaskan, and its creator actually encourages readers to send in ideas, crediting them if the idea is used.

Check out Tundra if you haven’t already done so; you’ll be hooked!
