Congrats Chad! It must feel pretty good to be realizing the kind of success you’re seeing, We got Tundra in The Denver Post not too long ago, and I was glad for it (the duck toon for 9/28 was fabulous!).
And hey, merchandising is a good thing anyway…I think a cartoonist really should explore all avenues for generating income a a result of their work, if increasing income is of interest: Greeting cards, calendars, etc. But, I know not all may see it that way, the purity of the art form, etc taking priority (Watterson?).
hmmm, I wonder if Schulz can be considered the antithesis of that position? Not very good on my history/biographies. Well anyhow, good luck with it all, Chad.

I would love to hear how such a deal actually gets off the ground. Does the greeting card company come knocking or is on the creator/syndicate/self syndicate to make the first move? Great strip!
