Some of you might know who Chad Carpenter is. Most of you probably don’t. But just for information’s sake: Chad Carpenter is the creator of Tundra, a single panel cartoon that Chad managed to sell to papers all by himself. Some of you are saying “no big deal…I sold my comic to a couple papers.” I said the same thing. Here’s the kicker: With home grown ingenuity and a self-financed “national tour” Carpenter managed to syndicated Tundra to 130 newspapers.
Very recently, Chad’s strip was picked up by King Features for an International Syndication deal. Read the interview with Chad over on Newsminer.com
That’s what I am missing “home grown ingenuity “! Getting into 130 papers is amazing, but I can understand whay he would sign on to a syndicate after having to be a one man show for a while.
Actually, the reason he signed on with a syndicate was for an international presence.
Tundra is consistently funny. Cool reading, wished my local paper carried it.
“My Hero.” That about sums it up for me too.
