Seven years ago today, I started Savage Chickens! To help celebrate, and to thank you for your support, I’m giving away three signed copies of Savage Chickens: A Survival Kit for Life in the Coop. And I’ll include a drawing of your favourite Savage Chickens character.

There are two ways to win:
1. Add a comment to this post or to this post telling me which cartoon was your favourite one from the past year, or
2. Retweet my 7th anniversary cartoon on Twitter, or share it on GooglePlus.

I’ll choose three random winners on Friday night!

German edition of Savage Chickens book to be released in 2012

Doug — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 08:25:39 +0000

Exciting news, especially for German readers! A German-language edition of Savage Chickens: A Survival Kit for Life in the Coop is being published in March 2012 by publisher Kunstmann. Here’s a sneak peek at the cover! I just finished the artwork for a few replacement cartoons (some of my pop-culture references didn’t quite translate into German). I’ve seen some of the translated cartoons and they look awesome!

Of course, the English version is already available now, so keep it in mind for your upcoming Christmas lists, especially for those office gift exchanges!

Update: Here’s the book over on Kunstmann’s site!

Update: And now you can take a peek inside!

Halloween Contest 2011 Winners!

Doug — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 07:10:06 +0000

Happy Halloween! I received over 1200 entries to this year’s Halloween contest, and they were an impressive collection of crazy ideas. Some of the common themes: Occupy Wall Street, parking, iPhones, concerts, The Walking Dead, and windshield-cleaning. As you can imagine, it was pretty difficult to choose the winners!

And the winners are…

The Grand Prize (a zombified edition of my book, a mug, and a set of buttons):

“Do your worst. It’s a rental.” – by Chuck

The Runner-up Prizes (a signed copy of my book):

“Hey, can you direct us to the Mensa Conference…?” – by Elissa

“So I take a right at “brains” and then a left at “brains” and I should be there?” – by Joe

Congratulations to the winners! I’ll be in touch to get your address information. And thanks to everybody who participated! This was the best contest yet – lots of amazing creativity out there!
