Time for my annual chicken vacation (I’ll be back with new comics on January 2!) but first let’s take a look at the chickens of 2023! Here’s my class photo of all the characters who appeared in more than one Savage Chickens comic this year.

Thanks to you all for continuing to read the chickens! Hard to believe I’m about to enter my 20th year of chicken-drawing. Amazing!

Here are the most popular chickens of this year…

Best of 2022
Before I take my usual chicken holiday (I’ll be back with new comics on January 2!), here’s my annual class photo of all the characters that appeared in more than one Savage Chickens comic in 2022 (my 18th year of making comics!). Including unexpected new characters Inflatable Tube Man, Mosquito-Man, and Gas Station Hot Dog.

This year felt like a year of sneaking out of the COVID shadows to get involved in the real world again. The Vancouver Comic Jam started meeting in person again. I started going to conventions again. I got involved in a cool collaborative project at the local university, using comics to tell stories about migration. And I just started work on book #5 of the Laser Moose and Rabbit Boy series! I’m looking forward to what 2023 brings!

In the meantime, here are the most popular Savage Chickens comics of 2022!

Best of 2021

Before I take my customary holiday from chickening (I’ll be back on January 3!), let’s look back at the crazy year of 2021! Here’s my annual “class photo” of all of the characters who appeared in more than one comic this year.

This year was a bit of a rollercoaster ride for me because my mom passed away after a long fight with cancer. I drew a rare series of autobiographical comics as a tribute to her, and I was overwhelmed by the incredibly supportive comments and emails I received about these comics. Thank you all for being so awesome!

On the happier side of things, I released my newest book a few weeks ago: Laser Moose and Rabbit Boy: As The Deer Flies. This is how I spent much of my early pandemic, and it really helped to be able to throw myself into this fun creative project. I’m really happy to hear that people are enjoying it!

Here’s hoping 2022 brings more adventures and less pandemic! In the meantime, read the most popular Savage Chickens comics of 2021…

Best of 2020

Here’s my annual picture of everybody who appeared in more than one Savage Chickens comic this year. And what a strange year it has been! Because of the chaos of this year, my comics have veered between confronting the stress and avoiding it entirely through escapist weirdness. In the weirdness category, I really enjoyed drawing some unexpected theme weeks this year, including Melancholy Blob, Zep Broondar, and Moon Bear. Expect more weirdness from me in the new year, but let’s hope we have less real-life weirdness in 2021! For now, here’s…

Here are the most-visited comics from 2020. And these comics also serve as a handy summary of 2020 itself, because most of these jokes were influenced by pandemic- and election-related stress:

  3. Video Conferencing Etiquette
  4. End of the Rainbow
  5. Replaced
  6. Sourdough
