Every time I give away something from the Tundra family, there’s always a lot of response. So why not keep that energy going?
Besides, it plays into my “support the local economy” series of giveaways quite nicely. I ran into Tundra creator Chad Carpenter recently and bought two of his 2021 calendars. The idea is to give one and keep one for yourself.
Or maybe you’ll give them both away. However you handle things, that’s at least one holiday gift checked off your list – for free!
Bonus: I might even be able to get Chad to personalize the calendars for you. He generally throws in a cute li’l sketch of one of his critters, too. Some day those signed calendars could be worth…Well, I have no idea.
What I do know is that Chad’s work is known literally around the world. It’s syndicated in nearly 650 newspapers in the United States, Europe, Jamaica and Trinidad. I guess that moose, bear and bug humor is universal.
Not that Chad is limited to static images. He and his twin brother, Darin, have also been responsible for two films shot entirely in Alaska. The first was “Moose: The Movie,” about an ancient curse that awakens a killer ungulate. Mayhem ensues. Funny stuff also ensues. When I gave away a copy of that movie I described it as having been made with “a tight budget and a loose grip on reality.” Pretty much.
The second is “Sudsy Slim Rides Again,” which centers on an Alaska lawman who heads to a tiny off-the-grid town to investigate a missing person. That “person” is the mummified remains of a notorious criminal – and since he’s a big tourist draw, the town fathers and mothers want him back. However, he’s been corpse-napped by a couple of escaped convicts who want to leverage the stiff for safe passage out of town.
Just FYI: You can buy those films at the Tundra website, or rent them on Amazon. I won’t get any kind of remuneration if you do. It’s just another stab at supporting the local economy.
But back to the giveaway.
The winner will get two of the 2021 “Tundra” calendars. These definitely fall into the “what to get for the person who has everything” category of gift-giving. For your chance(s) to win, do one or more of the following:

I would love to win one of those awesome calendars (or two)! I follow you by email.
I also follow you on Facebook and would love to win those calendars. I am an old fashioned gal, who still loves wall calendars more, much more than calendars on my phone.
How fun would these be on your wall in 2021!
I’m not familiar with the “Tundra” comic but it looks hilarious. I typically wait to purchase wall calendars until mid-January @ a national bookstore chain when they are 50% off but a free one would be even sweeter! Thank you Donna. I follow via email.
Would love to win there. Please put my name in the hat
I hope to win a calendar. Follow you bu email.

Following you here! Thank you for offering this giveaway. My grandson loves Tundra.😃 ( I realized I posted in the wrong place on the Facebook post, and hit delete just as the notification for a comment from you came up- so I don’t know what you said, but it was probably something like, “Hey, you over there, all excited to win and stuff! Finish reading the post and follow the directions! Har, har!” I hope I’m still in the running.🤣
There is nothing more annoying than a forgotten, unfinished parentheses. Here you go: )
Yep, you are. Drawing is this evening.
