Ms. Johnson recently announced she would conclude her strip and revert back to the beginning, repeating her strips while intermittently using new material.

The Progress decided to replace it with a fresh strip called Tundra.

Often compared to The Far Side, Tundra is one of the fastest growing comic strips in the United States and Canada.

It is an outdoors and nature-themed strip that features fun characters such as Andy the lemming, Dudley the bear and Sherman the squirrel.

The cartoonist, Chad Carpenter, hails from the Alaskan wilderness.

Tundra should be well received by Progress readers because of the frozen outdoors theme of the strip which all Pennsylvanians can relate to.
