Arctic Circle - Having Fun in a Changing World
Arctic Circle is about three penguins who have migrated from the Antarctic to the small town of Snowpeak within the Arctic Circle.
The penguins have joined a polar bear, a snow bunny, a lemming and an Arctic tern. Collectively, they deal with everything the 21st century has to throw at them, including climate change, fashion, Facebook and genetically modified organisms gone wild.
Arctic Circle was nominated for Best Comic Strip at the Australian Cartoonists' Association’s Stanley Awards in 2009 and 2010.
