Tundra signs with King Features
Skip to commentsChad Carpenter has signed with King Features for an international syndication of his comic strip Tundra, according to E&P.
The 1991-launched strip, self-syndicated by cartoonist Chad Carpenter in the U.S. and Canada, currently appears in nearly 150 newspapers. Under the new deal with King, “Tundra” will now also be distributed to papers around the world.
“Tundra,” which is inspired by Carpenter’s upbringing in Alaska, takes a skewed look at nature and its quirky inhabitants. The cartoonist still lives in Alaska, in a small town about 45 miles from Anchorage.
His humor comic’s characters include Sherman, a squirrel whose schemes and activities often result in chaos; Dudley, a well-intentioned but not-too-bright bear; Chad, a struggling cartoonist who’s the constant victim of Dudley and Sherman’s actions; Andy, a quick-witted lemming; and Whiff the skunk.
Just so we’re clear, King will only distribute this feature to international papers. Chad Carpenter will continue to self-syndicate to US and Canadian newspapers.
