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!
Here’s the book over on Kunstmann’s site and now you can take a peek inside!
Update: And now it’s on Amazon.de!
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!

It’s my annual Halloween Contest! Complete this cartoon and you could win the Grand Prize:
- a one-of-a-kind zombified edition of Savage Chickens: A Survival Kit for Life in the Coop. I’ve drawn 100 zombies in this signed copy!
- a Death Works From Home coffee mug
- a set of three Savage Chickens buttons

I’ll also be giving away prizes to two runner-ups, who will both win a signed copy of my book.
To enter the contest, tell me what the chicken is saying in the above cartoon. You can add your entry (or entries) to the comments here, or send it to me via my contact form. Update: Winners announced!!
On Saturday, April 9, at 2 PM, I’ll be signing books for a couple of hours at the Chapters bookstore at 788 Robson St. in downtown Vancouver, BC.
