TUNDRA SCRAP BOOK

     

 

Although hiking in the back country can be filled with beauty and grandeur, it can also be filled with danger. It is a good idea to be able to determine when a bear may be in your vicinity. Below are three photos showing how to identify bear scat (feces) during different seasons throughout the year:

 

FISHING SEASON

 

 

BERRY SEASON

 

TOURIST SEASON

The truth of having three kids under the same roof
 

This is my Mom & Dad's dog "Litty".
Don't worry, no eagles were harmed in the
making of this photograph.

One of my favorite things to do is feed the squirrels in the winter , but
I've been thinking lately that maybe I should cut back on the steroids.
 
 
 
 People often ask me what I did for a living before I became a cartoonist.
Who would have guessed I was a security guard at a nuclear reactor facility.
The above photo was taken of me at my boss' desk while he was away -
My boss liked Tootsie Rolls - I didn't like my boss - thus the nose decor.
 
Shortly after I quit my job (and long after he had eaten his Tootsie Rolls) he
received this photo in a Christmas card. Ho Ho Ho.
 
 
 
While driving through Denali Park (trying to come up with cartoon ideas)
I was approached by a rather aggressive hitchhiker. My brother Darin happened
to be with me and he was thoughtful enough to take a quick photo as a memento.
I'm amazed he was able to get it in focus while screaming like a 12-year-old girl.
I guess that's the mark of a true professional.
 
 
Me and my brother Darin (Official Tundra photographer) after one
of our more over-the-top wild & crazy vacations. I almost didn't put
this photo on the website because of how embarrassing it is - I mean
really, who wears black shoes and black socks?! Geeesh!
 
 
Taken for an audition of an "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" commercial.
 
 
 
Normally I don't like to be one of those people who
name-drops, but hey! It's Chuck E. freakin' Cheese!
 
 
 
One of my favorite Tundra spin-offs was when I used to do magic
shows with one of my characters (Andy the Lemming). We would tour
schools and libraries all over the state entertaining children of all ages -
That is, until the unfortunate "Flaming Rubber Chicken of Death" trick.
You'd think our school system would teach the kids to
"Stop, Drop & Roll", but NOOOOOO.
 
 
 
One of my brother Darin's early photos - simply titled: "Still life".
 
 
This is my buddy Mark.  He has been an important part of the creative
process in all things Tundra - not to mention a snappy dresser. I love
this photo because you can't tell the walls are padded.

 

My fun-loving neighbor Frank "Francis" Bodfish.
Don't let the 12-guage, killer poodles, filthy Carhart
jacket and crusty, old-man looks fool you... he's mean.
 
 
 
 
I'm always trying to put a positive spin on even
the most negative things in life. Believe it or not, this image appeared on the "NEWSWEEK" website - Honest.

 

My very first (and very last) romance novel.
surprisingly, not a big seller. Who knew?
 
 
 
 
Before turning to cartooning , one of my many careers
was as a  dung merchant in the Sudan.
 
 
More stuff is added from time-to-time so check back whenever you want to feel better about your own life.
