Savage Chickens - St. Patrick's Day

And hey it looks like I’ll need to have an extra pint of Guinness today to celebrate this, my 300th cartoon. Crazy!

Update: Here’s another St. Patrick’s Day.

    Congratulations! I’ll have a pint of guinness with you. In the meantime let’s have a pint of guinness just because we can.

    Haha I love that one too :)

    Very simple, and chickens are always a funny (But thought provoking) medium.

    congrats doug!

    Very funny stuff. I would like to see an incredible chick hulk. Your cartoons have a “far side” kind of flavor that makes me laugh.

    Chekc out my site to learn more about who St. Patrick was before you drink so much guinness in his honor you can’t read. :)

    Have a good one.

  12. Lioness on March 17th, 2006 6:34 pm

    65 MORE AND YOU HAVE A DESK CALANDAR CUBE. YOU KNOW THAT WOULD BE AWESOME….I LOVE THOSE CHICKENS

  13. Andrew on March 17th, 2006 7:44 pm

    Only 700 more before the experiment is complete!

    P.S. You are intentionally being kept in the dark about the outcome of the experiment! Keep up the progress!

    Hi,

    You have a really cool thing going.

    Have you tried to go get yourself really SYNDICATED.
    comics.com, ucomics.com & kingfeatures.com are some of the big names in comic syndication. You really could be a professional.

    The sketch is neat and simple and the concept is unique.

    :) St Patricks day is a scary day to drive, or cross the street if you are a chicken.

    it’s always the unexpected that makes your work so great. congratulations, doug!

  17. Doug Savage on March 17th, 2006 10:22 pm

    Hey thanks to everybody for the great comments!

    Thanks for the links, Hunt - I am working on syndication possibilities so we’ll see! In the mean time if anybody wants to see Savage Chickens in their local paper, feel free to email them to let them know!

  18. Laura S on March 17th, 2006 10:24 pm

    Thank you sooooo much. I needed a chuckle more than you can imagine! That was really good!

  19. BionicBuddha on March 18th, 2006 12:00 am

    Colonel Sanders would have been proud…great work as usual!

  20. Snowdrops on March 18th, 2006 12:56 am

    Happy belated Paddy’s Day (it’s past midnight already in Dublin). I’ve enjoyed your cartoons enormously since I just discovered you yesterday after setting up my own blog. Anyway, I just want to say the use of colour in this one is awesome! You should try having more colours in your cartoons - I’d love to see other highlighter colours being used on your chickens!

    And oh yes, I second the suggestion of having a desktop calendar, I’d be one of the first to buy it!!

  21. Doug Savage on March 18th, 2006 1:36 am

    Thanks Snowdrops! Glad you liked the dash of colour. But that’s no highlighter - I actually drew that chicken on a bright green sticky note, cut it out very carefully, and stuck it onto the yellow one!

  22. Ada on March 18th, 2006 1:58 am

    *applause*

    please make a desk calendar
    it’d be the perfect christmas present for everyone i know :P

    Grats on 300. Keep it up. The joke is very funny. The idea of a chicken Hulk is funny too. Anywho, how bout a desk calendar made out of post it notes? Just an idea.

  25. Ro on March 19th, 2006 3:57 am

    These are great! Who doesen’t love chickens. Keep it up.

  26. Atalanta on March 19th, 2006 4:06 am

    Congrats!

  27. Online Degree on March 19th, 2006 6:40 am

    Chickens….. always good for a laugh.

  28. mp3hugger on March 19th, 2006 10:35 am

    Don’t often come across truly funny stuff - cheers, hope you can make a good few buck (buck, buck, buck, buck, buck….)

  29. yj on March 19th, 2006 11:43 am

    Discovered your site from the technorati “chickens” tag I’ve been using on my own chicken cartoons. Congratulations! I can only hope to match your output someday. :)

    Hello

  31. Connor on March 20th, 2006 3:58 pm

    300! Woo!

  32. Greg on March 22nd, 2006 4:39 am

    I LOVE these cartoons…and this one, well…ha! Thanks for sharing these–love the calendar cube idea. This’d be one you didn’t forget to peel off after April. Did someone mention Guiness…?

  33. Night Time Neece on March 22nd, 2006 9:48 pm

    Doug, Best wishes on the first 300 and we lift a toast to the next of what we hope are many, many more chicken adventures in the future.

    wait..either/or? surely there are more than two possible reasons why the chicken is green.
    3) he really REALLY needs to blow his beak
    4) he’s actually a piece of broccoli carved to LOOK like a chicken
    5) the chicken is on a rough cruise without any dramamine
    6) he caught a really bad case of “chicken mold”
    7) farrrr too many lime freeze pops
    8) he angered a witch, and she said “OK, you’re green from now on” and he was
    9) at birth, he stayed a little to long in the egg. Actually, a LOT too long
    10) no one knows why, he’s just green
    11) perhaps the chicken world’s absolute sloppiest painter, and he just finished painting the coop green
