Savage Chickens - Savage Chickens Book Deal!

Hey everybody – I’ve got some great news! I’ve got a book deal with Perigee Books, a division of Penguin Group USA! I’m really excited to be working with editor Maria Gagliano and the whole Perigee team.

Thanks to all of you readers for being so supportive over the years – it’s great to finally be putting together a book for you. And a big thank-you goes out to my agent Danielle for getting the chickens out there.

The book will be a combination of web site favourites and all-new cartoons, including fun activity stuff to help you liven up your cubicle. I’ll keep you posted on upcoming book news, including the release date!

  29. Luwano says:

    The book will be a bestseller, especially with this title.

    I hope the book will arrive in Germany someday, but I’m worried about the translation, because german publishers tend to be kind of inaccurate when it comes to well thought-out translations.
    (Examle: “Da Vinci Code” was published as “Sakrileg” what means “sacrilege”)

    I’ll buy your book in english then….

    on the book deal, many Congrats~

    your site has been the source of countless moments of relief.

    my fiance and best friend and I feel that you are a benevolent stalker who documents our lives in chickens… it is eerie how apropos your cartoons are on any given day.

    thank you for your work & we are looking forward to paper chickens.
