This alternation is similar to that used in Mother Goose and Grimm and Non Sequitur. Tundra tends to deal with wildlife and the outdoors; its humor appeals to all demographics young & old. Tundra also occasionally uses reader-submitted ideas. Since 2007 the strip has been syndicated internationally by King Features Syndicate. He has published and sold 20 Tundra books and has also produced other Tundra-branded merchandise. In May 2008 Tundra was named the best newspaper panel of 2007 by the National Cartoonists Society.

He additionally wrote the 2018 western comedy film Sudsy Slim Rides Again with his brother. Tundra is a comic strip written and drawn by Wasilla Alaska cartoonist Chad Carpenter. The comic usually deals with wildlife nature and outdoor life. Tundra began in December 1991 in the Anchorage Daily News and is currently self-syndicated to over 600 newspapers. The strip was named the best newspaper panel of 2007 by the National Cartoonists Society and nominated again in 2011. Tundra is primarily drawn in two styles single-panel gag comics using puns in combination with wildlife and the outdoors and a three-panel strip that employs regular characters: Sherman the Squirrel Dudley the Bear Chad the Cartoonist Andy Lemming Whiff Skunk and Hobart the Wise. These comics usually Sunday strips contain more written dialogue and generally more complex jokes. Characters in Tundra include: Chad--The main character. As a classically trained cartoonist Chad makes a living that provides him both a lack of social status and a lack of funding. Primarily his job is to pay for everything especially any damage that any of the animals living in his place cause; this applies almost exclusively to Sherman. He is above dumpster diving with Dudley but only because he has already been thrown out of the dumpsters of the classier establishments. Sherman--The main squirrel. Sherman's lot in life is to cause trouble in one form or another either by swindling someone outright or by swindling them behind their back. He often "fixes" things that aren't broken causing them to work in a way other than intended usually causing Chad some sort of pain such as "fixing" a Lava Lamp that erupts in Chad's face or fixing a vacuum cleaner that sends the gang back in time. He regularly has trouble with the law commonly beginning with his alter ego Major Nut. Dudley--The main bear an overweight Brown Bear whose large size is frequently emphasized. The comic features fictional single-panel strips that are claimed to be written by Dudley labeled "Dudley's Dud's" which rely heavily on puns for humor. Andy--The main lemming. He is the great innocent youth of Tundra. Although Andy is still drawn almost identically as he was when he first appeared in the strip he has undergone the most dramatic personality change. Initially he was introduced as being suicidal but just couldn't go through with his natural instincts. After landing on Dudley's head in a suicide attempt Sherman recruited him as a drummer into the newfound grunge polka band The Barking Wallspiders. Whiff--The main skunk. Related to Sherman Whiff began his Tundra career as manager of The Barking Wallspiders. He's known to have a problem with body odors and has made odoreaters disintegrate on contact. Whiff has his own comics Whiff's Stinkers. Hobart--The main Wisedude. He was found near his monastery butting heads with wild goats. Fellow monks determined that this unmonkish behavior reflected badly on them and shipped him off to his nephew Andy in Alaska. His great wise sayings provide moments of clarity otherwise unknown to Gangrene Gultch yet still often ignored. "The butterfly is nature's most beautiful creature but cockroaches get to eat a whole lot more cool stuff." Hobart's wisdom falls on deaf ears but perhaps that's best for all concerned. Other characters--A few recurring characters of the strip include: Mr. Dale the lovable Con Artist : In a variety of jobs; exorcist demon etc. The Moose Nuggets : Animated moose droppings with an agenda. Big Bobby Darin : Long on stupidity but short on brains. Enjoys shiny objects crayons and taxidermy. Willow Creek Press unknown
