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.

It’s been a rewarding year for me – I feel like I’m getting my cartooning mojo back. The cartoons have come a long way in a year. Here’s a side-by-side comparison of the first scruffy-looking cartoon and one from this month:

And finally, here are my top ten favourite cartoons of the year. If you don’t see your favourite on this list, feel free to post it in the comments. Here are my favourites in no particular order:

    Happy Birthday!

    Animals eaten by snakes are always hilarious. Though I’m a relatively new fan I know that one would make my top ten.

    Congratulations. Your chickens regularly make my day. I also like the crossing the road one and the Shakespeare one. Oh and the…

    I’ll stop now. Keep up the great work.

    Happy Anniversary, Doug (and Chickens)!!

    You have a few of my favourites on your list, but I’d add Poltroon, How Embarrassing, and Read my Blog to my list. There are probably others as well.

    Looking forward to many more years of Savage Chickens.

  18. Stacy says:

    I’ve only been reading Savage Chickens for about 2 months, so most of your Top Ten were new to me.

    I’m having a bad day and they made me laugh out loud. Thanks.

    Happy anniversary Doug and your fabulous chickens! I love getting my post-it note in the mail every day 🙂

  20. TheGreatTimeWaster says:

    Wow! A whole year! Happy Anniversary! I really wish I could have been here 1 year ago, but i guess that’s why you got archives :)! May the chickens never end up in someone’s pot (or have lots of people afraid of them because of a flu).
    Again, Happy anniversary!

  21. grubby says:

    Wow Doug a whole year of great chicken humor,your chickens have no boundries or coops,keep up the smart humor.

  22. cartercomics.com says:

    Happy Anniversary, that was an incredible year of terrific cartoons.

    Please keep up the good work!

  23. Laurie says:

    I LOVE your site and check it every day. My favorite has to be the Christmas Ghost of Future Perfect Passive.

  24. Mommmeeeee! says:

    Happy Anniversary and Congratulations! As a token of my appreciation of your efforts, I fed the chickens, and they didn’t even peck me! My donation should cover a 12 pack of Post-it(R) notes, so that should keep you going for at least another couple of years. 😉

    My personal favorite is the understated Impulse Buy.
    BTW, I would definitely bid on a framed and autographed original chickens note.

    Please keep ’em coming, because otherwise I wouldn’t know what to do with the free time I have between doing the laundry and dishes, except maybe write some haiku.
