Arctic Circle

My daily comic strip, Arctic Circle, is about three immigrant penguins having fun in a changing world. It has an environmental theme, but also tackles other modern issues like anti-social media and how to resist robots that want to take over the world.

Arctic Circle is distributed by King Features and appears in newspapers worldwide. If it’s not in yours, please write to your editor and ask for it. Editors listen to readers more than cartoonists or their syndicates.

You can read more about it in the New York Times and in the Washington Post.

Below are some of my favourites. The daily strip and archive are on Comics Kingdom.
