Gordon Kirkland At Large first appeared in the Moncton Times-Transcript in New Brunswick, Canada on August 27, 1994. In the decade that has followed, Gordon Kirkland At Large has appeared in a great many newspapers in both Canada and the United States. He has developed a loyal following of readers in both countries with his quick wit and his ability to find the humor hidden in everyday occurrences.

Pulitzer Prize-winning humnorist Dave Barry says:

"Canada has given the United States many wonderful gifts: Beer. Hockey. That famous entertainer, whatshisname. Beer. The list goes on and on. And to this list we must add the name of Gordon Kirkland , a very funny writer who is able to find humor in just about anything, because the only alternative would be for him to get a real job. As a fellow class clown suffering from maturity impairment, I salute him."

Lynn Johnston, the creator of the For Better Or For Worse comic strip says:

“ . . . If life is a load then laugh at it. This is Gordon Kirkland’s take on the stress of survival. His writing is an affirmation that we’re all in the same boat — it just leaks in different places Nothing is safe from his crack-the-wit columns, which is why I love to read his stuff . . . I just wouldn't want to be married to him!”
