Regular readers know how I feel about the “Tundra” comic strip, created by Alaska cartoonist Chad Carpenter. Not content with being syndicated all over the world, Carpenter recently branched out into filmmaking with “Moose: The Movie.”
At one of the screenings Carpenter handed out autographed calendars. I promptly re-gifted mine for the May 3 giveaway (whose write-up included my impressions of the film).
Now that “Moose: The Movie” is available for home viewing, I’m reinstating the weekly giveaways with a copy of the DVD.
Is it great cinema? Of course not. But it’s good, goofy fun and very Carpenterian; witness the wildlife protection poster glimpsed in the Gangrene Gulch ranger station. Anyone who’s visited (or wants to visit) the Last Frontier will fall in love with the cinematography.
Don’t just take my word for it, though. A review from The Alaska Dispatch News calls it “bright, fast-paced, well-produced, utterly entertaining and very amusing,” among other things.

My son dearly wants this for his birthday or Christmas 🙂
I’ve been wanting to see this & I kept missing it, would love to have it!
Would love to win a copy….Thanks for reminding us about this guy….his strip is hilarious. I wonder if he has a calendar? I’m thinking a unique gift idea for DD2 for Xmas….
He does have calendars, and T-shirts, and other stuff:

I think it’s cheaper to buy directly from him vs. Amazon. That’s definitely true for the playing cards, which I bought at a local Walgreens for $3.99 — Amazon wanted $11.95.
Thanks Donna…I did go on his site. Just need to “feel daughter out” about the gift idea. Nothing worse than a “weirdo gift” from your Dad….

If I lived closer to the showings you have had, I’d have already seen your movie. Have hoped that it would go on sale so That I could get it. This would be an even better way to be able to see and share it with some Iowa and Nebraska friends. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
This would make a great frugal Christmas present for my hard to buy for great nephew!
