Giveaway: “Tundra” calendar.

by

IMG_20150503_130130I saw “Moose: The Movie” again on Saturday, on the drive back from Fairbanks. The first time was at the world premiere of this goofy horror-film spoof, the brainchild of cartoonist Chad Carpenter, creator of the “Tundra” comic strip.

In the past I’ve given away “Tundra” books, playing cards and a calendar. Reader interest has always been high because Carpenter’s work is syndicated in some 600 newspapers worldwide. Not bad for a homegrown cartoonist.

Carpenter was on hand at the Saturday screening and was giving away “Tundra” 2016 calendars. In addition to signing the calendars he added a little moose drawing. Look to the left and you’ll see the result.

Enter to win and you may wind up owning the result.

Yes: Although this calendar is a hoot and also signed by the artist, I am willing to give it up to one of my readers. Since it’s for 2016, consider turning it into a cool holiday present. Or just keep it and be the envy of all the kids.

Incidentally, the film has a lot to recommend it, especially the gorgeous scenery and a quirky and sometimes bizarre sense of humor. Some of the jokes are funnier if you live here, but most of them will translate well.

Good thing, since Carpenter has had nibbles from theaters in the Lower 48. “Moose: The Movie” may be coming soon to an independent house near you. Meanwhile, follow the link in the first paragraph for the Anchorage newspaper’s review.

While I laughed as hard as anyone else at the premiere, I was a little disappointed that there was no red-duct-tape carpet or any drawings of moose nuggets running around with cameras (the poop-arazzi). Carpenter didn’t seem a bit sorry, though.

To enter:

If you do any (or all!) of these things, please leave separate, additional comments to get credit for each entry.

The deadline is 7 p.m. PDT Tuesday, May 5. If I don’t hear back from the winner by 7 p.m. PDT Wednesday, May 6, I’ll pull another name.

  4. I hope Moose: The Movie comes my way. I’m actually from MD where I have lived my whole life with the exception of weeks of summer spent in New Hampshire at my parents summer cabin which I mentioned in a previous post.

  13. Sounds like a fun calendar for either myself or an adult child. I only sign up for things I can/will use or gift.

  17. Would love a moose calendar, so I am in! Don’t have any moose here in PA, but have a bear that was visiting last night. Think it is the same one from last year that all the neighbors were complaining about. Cute little thing,not fully grown, but at least 300 pounds!
