Here’s my annual picture of everybody who appeared in more than one Savage Chickens comic this year – including me and my mom (the chickens playing cards here). I had a very busy 2019! I went on the road a lot! I visited my family (and drew a week of comics about them), I was a guest at Rose City Comic Con and at Hal-Con, and I did a tour of elementary schools around British Columbia. And somewhere in there, Andrews McMeel published my third Laser Moose and Rabbit Boy book, Time Trout!

I had a great 2018, working on the next Laser Moose and Rabbit Boy book (I’m almost done!), doing a ton more public speaking gigs (including my first tour of elementary schools), and working on other new projects that will hopefully come together in 2019. Busy times!

Wow! Goodbye 2017! What a crazy year! Crazy around the world, of course, but also crazy for me personally since I spent most of the year busily putting together the Laser Moose sequel, Laser Moose and Rabbit Boy: Disco Fever.

Thanks for another great year everybody. After 13 years, I’m still having so much fun drawing the chickens, mostly because of you and your encouragement. And it’s been really fun to expand my work into new territory with what is now a series of graphic novels. Next up for me, book 3 of Laser Moose and Rabbit Boy! Here’s hoping for a great 2018!

Time to say goodbye to crazy ol’ 2016! It was an exciting year for me, thanks mostly to Laser Moose and Rabbit Boy. But it was a fun year on the chickening front as well – and I reached the awesome milestone of my 3000th comic! Here’s my class photo of all of the characters who appeared in more than one comic this year, and below are the top comics of 2016, according to you and according to me.
