Tundra: Passed 300 Paper Mark

According to a newly-dropped press release, the comic strip Tundra has passed the 300 client mark. This would be news just because of the rough market out there -- Tundra only started adding papers three years ago -- but is worth noting here because the strip is self-syndicated and thus avoids the 50/50 split with syndicates. Although outside observers have no idea what the Tundra folks are charging and thus can't really speculate on cartoonist Chad Carpenter's income even given what he would gain by not having a distributor to cut in, that's still a major accomplishment. I can't imagine it's a replicable one unless there's a hook like a very low price, but I also imagine a lot of people would pay to hear from Carpenter about this strategy.
