Chad's E-mail

Meet the Cartoonist:

Chad Carpenter was born at an early age. Abandoned by his parents on his 20th birthday, he was forced to wander aimlessly in his neighbors backyard. It was there that he was adopted by a pack of friendly ground squirrels and taught the ways of small rodents. Subsisting mainly on grass, seeds and insects, Chad grew and grew, Until one day, the neighbor finally got sick of the huge holes Chad was digging in his rose garden and had him leave the state.

From these humble beginnings, Chad has turned his artwork into a thriving comic strip known as Tundra which now runs in hundreds of newspapers throughout the U.S., Canada, Europe and even Jamaica & Trinidad. In May of 2008 Chad was presented with the Reuben Award for "Best Newspaper Panel" by the National Cartoonist Society. Tundra has been called the most successful self-syndicated newspaper comic in history.

For more information, newsletter and/or seasonal books and merchandise, check out the tundra website at http://tundracomics.com

Meet the Cartoonist:

Ira Monroe has operated a small cartooning studio in Nebraska for about 25 years. As Nebraska is not necessarily the 'hub' of the publishing industry in the U.S. it is often difficult to find steady engagements. As with all of our brethren in this business, he is constantly seeking assignments (and now you know how to contact him). Thank goodness for the internet and the opportunities it affords all of us. Ira especially enjoys this opportunity to work with all of the fine TCDC cartoonists again this year!

Meet the Cartoonist:

Sean is a freelance 'toonist and illustrator with a passion for art that just won't quit! He's done all sorts of things over the years, and has been doing plenty of logo designing this year. He has yet to be syndicated, but remains driven. His personal quest for that "holy grail" will continue until total success is reached.

Larry's E-mail

Meet the Cartoonist:

Larry Miller III of Peoria, Illiinois has been a published cartoonist since the publication of his first cartoon in August of 1974 in "Model Railroader Magazine" and he continued selling cartoons and illustrations to similar publications throughout the mid 1980s.

Larry peaked his out put during his college years as the cartoonist "Mr. N" of the "Harbinger" (the Student Newspaper for Illinois Central College) where he attended part-time from 1975 through 1980. Such cartoon panels as "Captain Boredom", "Barlap 4" and "Reasons Why Students Commit Suicide" were regular features, along with half-page panels and editorial cartoons.

Most of Larry's early works were created in the pen and ink format with marker and watercolor added after inking. He now scans his original ink renderings to computer and adds the color and shading in PhotoShop. He is currently producing cartoons for greeting cards as well as insurance, health and business internet newsletters. He produces panels and strips to individual order and can be reached by clicking the e-mail link above.

Meet the Cartoonist:

Nelson Dewey has been a professional cartoonist for a little over 50 years. His earliest memory of “cartooning” was when he got in trouble with a Grade 1 teacher, for “illuminating” the alphabet instead of just doing block letters. He has continued scribbling ever since.

While still in high school, Nelson became a professional cartoonist, with a sale to HOT ROD Magazine in 1960. He went on to draw and write regularly for CARtoons, HOT ROD Cartoons, and SURFtoons for 25 years. These comic books eventually shut down, and he went on to other kinds of cartooning, including magazine and newspaper cartoons, book illustrations, animation, and storyboarding (a lot like cartooning!). But I’ve always kept a love for things with wheels.

Over the years, there’s always seemed to be a strong interest in those "classic" comic books. Now the internet makes it easy for readers to find him as well as other CARtoonists. We recommend you check out his blog at http://carzy.ca to find out more about the comic books, the people, the cars, the times and to chat with Nelson Dewey about cartoons and cartooning — and and see some of his old stuff along with the new!

Also thanks to our "Friends of TCDC" web sites that are helping to get the word out.

Why a Gift Shop?

We are happy to offer a gift shop of selected cartoons! Our intent is not to add to the commercialization of Christmas, but rather to make our cartoonists' cartoons available to you to share in the form of Christmas cards and other gift ideas. All proceeds go to the cartoonists or the operation of this site (at their request). We don't expect to sell all that much, but wanted a way for the cartoonists to get something back for their efforts in addition to this showcase of their talents. We also encourage you to visit their web sites and see what they do the rest of the year!

Y'all Come Back Now, Y'Hear!

We, the TCDC cartoonists, hope you enjoy our cartoon tribute to the Christmas season and wish you a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year! Enjoy!
