Evolution of a Sticky Note: Secret of the Ninja
Remember this cartoon from back in January?
Well it’s a little known fact that 90% of Savage Chickens cartoons begin life as fart jokes. Here’s the original version:
I think I like the fart version better now that I see it again. I guess some fart jokes are meant to be fart jokes.

Evolution of a Sticky Note: Monkeys!
The Monkeys! cartoon began with the following monkey cartoon that I drew last year and never ran:
Feces or not, everybody loves dancing monkeys. Right?
Evolution of a Sticky Note: Friday the 12th
I ran the following cartoon back on Friday January 12. The published version assumed that Jason Chicken would be sad about being so close to Friday the 13th but yet so far:
But my original version of the cartoon took the opposite approach, assuming that Jason Chicken would be enjoying his day off by indulging in his nonpsychopathic hobbies:
I think the one I originally published probably makes more sense, but I still really like the image of Jason painting a landscape.
Evolution of a Sticky Note: Eyes of the Zombie
This cartoon was the first time that I drew chicken zombies (even though I published this one first). Today I found my early experiments with different types of zombie eyes:
But I ended up going with my original version. It just looked more undead to me:
Evolution of a Sticky Note: The A-Team
Here’s the story behind the creation of this comic:
- I began with the idea of the A-Team being hired to do non-A-Team tasks. Like rolling pennies.
- It wasn’t working for me, so I changed the mundane activity and mixed up the design. But I can’t really draw rakes. And I was still stuck on the idea that the mundane task would make B.A. Baracus furious.
- Months later, I picked up the old cartoon to give it another try. I added the flan pun and chicken versions of the actual A-Team characters.
- Finally I dropped the original ‘mundane’ idea completely and turned it into a lost episode. I added eyebrows to Face to make him more Face-like, and moved the flan to Hannibal’s side of the cartoon so the flan joke and image would be closer together. Here’s the full-size version.
