Savage Chickens - Fifth Anniversary!

Tomorrow is the fifth anniversary of Savage Chickens’ debut on the web! So here’s my annual cartoon showing all of the characters who appeared in more than one cartoon during the past year. See if you can identify all of them!

The past five years have been so much fun and I owe you all a huge thanks for your support. And this fifth year was a particularly exciting one for me, thanks in part to the book deal and the music video.

WIN a Coffee Mug!
To celebrate five years of chickens, I’m giving away 5 coffee mugs. To be eligible, just add a comment to this post (or email me) telling me which cartoon was your favourite one from the past year. On Sunday, I’ll randomly choose 5 winners, who will get their favourite cartoon on a coffee mug! Update: Winners announced!

Your Top Ten
Here are the most-visited cartoons from the past year:

Meh
Roses
Ming Collector
Volcanology
Movie Poster
Badass Names
Warning!
Calling In Sick
Tigger (the first cartoon to make the Most-Visited list two years in a row!)

And the most-visited tags from the past year were: love, games, Star Wars, psychology, and work.

Savage Chickens is one year old! A big thank-you to all of you for coming back again and again. Thanks for the great comments, wonderful emails, and words of encouragement.
