Today is my 500th Savage Chickens cartoon! So I thought I’d celebrate by drawing 500 chickens on a sticky note. (Actually it’s a megasticky note.)
Click the cartoon to see a larger version!
See if you can spot PROD3000, Timmy Tofu, a worm, a zombie chicken, Mr. Stinky, the Crabbit, Aquachicken, a Cro-Magnon chicken, a three-eyed chicken, and more!

Congrats on your pentacentenial (is that what you call it?).

Congratulations! And, thanks for the laughs!

Congratulations! And Wow… you must be incredibly patient, that’s a LOT of chickens!!
Congratulations! As a business professional that totally loves your website, I never get enough of you. You are my knock me over the head, break me out of the box, wake me up in the morning, laugh a day. I share you with others, even if they don’t get it! Keep on keeping on, love it.
W00T! Congratulations, Doug, on a grand run of Savage Chickens so far. Please keep up the good work, I’ll still be reading when you get to 1000 post-its of ironic chicken comic goodness!

Congratulations!! And thanks for making us laugh for so long. Definitely looking forward to a whole lot more of them.
On a side note, don’t think someone won’t count the chickens to make sure there really is 500! (I would, but I don’t want to!)
Congratulations Doug!
Thanks for the the cartoons, which I believe to be one of the few truly original and truly funny offerings available.
You da man… no wait, you da CHICKEN!… no, wait.. da MAN…
Congratulations ! Really a good way to celebrate the 500th cartoon.. Respect !
Help! I’ve gone blind! 😉
Congrats on your anniversary!

aaannnd I found the crabbit, and the Jason chicken 😎
CONGRATULATIONS!!

Congrats!
I don’t get today’s gag…
Just kidding. Well done indeed! Here’s to 5,000 more!
Awesome! and Thanks!
CONGRATULATION!
This indeed calls for a celebration!
And thanks for the giggles i get every morning…
question: how long did it take you? 😉
Yay! 500! The “Coop” de grace!
Thanks for sharing your wonderfully skewed chicken-ness with us, Doug. I can live a long and happy life knowing that at least one other person in this world finds chickens as oddly endearing and wacky as I do… and apparently, there are many manny others as well. Keep up the good work!
Thank you ever so much for putting all this work into your cartoons. They always cheer me up and frequently make me laugh out loud!
Hooray 500!
Heyyyy.. its like Where’s Waldo, but with chickens. I love it.
CONGRATS on the 500.
Happy 500th cartoon!
Here’s to the next 500!
Cheers!
That is a lot of chickens! And thank you for doing these cartoons – they really help sometimes.
Is this going to count as the Prod3000 cartoon for December?
that is totally awesome… and now printed out on my wall.
CHICKEN OVERLOAD!
That is amazing.
Congratulations on 500 STICKY NOTES! Post-It must really like you.
I LOVE DOUG!
“I can’t find Mr Stinky!”
“He’s right next to the chicken.”
Congrats, Doug, and thanks for all the chicken! Looking forward to the next 500!
That drawing makes me feel ridiculously happy. I can’t explain why….
This is really my favorite web comic. If you consider printing a book (gasp dead tree) I am in. I don’t know if many people appreciate the web comic the way the techies do, so I would love to share this with some of my friends and family that would appreciate the wit of these chickens.
I like the Farside references. “I gotta be me!”
Loved that comic growing up.
Aww, yeah, you should’ve put in a Waldo chicken.
<3
You rock, we love you, keep doing it! Forever!
You are the best! And congrats mon amie. – I even found the penguin in the chicken coup….
Thank you for the laughs and your time.
Cheers to you!
Alayne (aka Denise)
Awesome! Thanks for all the chickeny goodness. And Mr. Stinky.
My childhood nickname is Chicken (why? Who knows?) so I’m particularly fond of these little guys.
Here’s to 500 more!
Congrats! I love Savage Chickens! Yours are so much neater and cleaner than mine…
Of course, you know I had to make this my desktop wall paper, and I’m going to have to print it and hand it up just to annoy those who don’t get it!
Yea! Thanks for all the laughs! Keep it up!
Is it true that you are meeting with Donald Trump to discuss “issues” in regards to the recent Miss Poulet contest?
Congrats on 500

Down with conformity, UP with chickens!
LOVED it!
very very funny stuff. keep up the great work!
That’s an awesome comic. Congrats on reaching 500! Thanks for the laughs. 🙂
I printed out the roomful of chickens and plan on making of them a jigsaw puzzle for the jigsaw junkies on the Fourth Floor of this old folks’ home. We’re right now working on a 3000-piece second-hand (so we can’t know for sure if all pieces are present)one.
Thanks for a fun activity!! pjane
Coming out of comment retirement to say:
Well done, Doug.
May your chickens prosper.
Congrats bud! Well done. Why is there always a penguin among the chickens? Why? Do you and Nick Park know something the rest of us don’t?
I couldn’t find waldo either, but I did find a penguin.
I think all of us regular readers should send you a nickel so you could buy yourself another pack of post-it notes.
Thanks for the chuckle every workday morning.
And for what it’s worth, your chickens remind me of the rabbits in the early days of Matt Groening’s “________ is Hell” line (life is hell, school is hell, etc.).
Wow! 500 cartoons already! Congratulations, Doug!
I found the pirate and the crabbit, but it took me awhile to find the worm.
Looking forward to at least 500 more.
Congrats on 500! This is one of my very favorite webcomics.
That’s wonderful! Good for you!
Brilliant, Doug! Happy 500th. You’re my hero, but I bet you know that already. 🙂 T
GOOD GOD!
that must have taken AGES to do!!
And congrats.
Congrats on 500! The Marines deployed over here loved this one too! Only question is where are the angry eyes chicken?
Doug, Thanks X 500 to ya for all those giggles. Looking forward to what you have in store in the future 🙂 CONGRATS DOUG!!!!!
Waldo was right between the chicken on the left and the chicken in the middle of the row.
CHICKENS ROCK!!!
WOOT!! Love it; here’s to another 5000 more!
Wasn’t Waldo between that one chicken and the other one?
CHICKENS ROCK!!!! KEEP UP THE GRET JOB!!!
Congrats! “Down with Conformity!” I love it!
Let’s see…
1 pack of sticky notes has 50 sheets..
1 10-pack contains 500 sheets
so, assuming no mistakes to date, you’re ready to tear the shrink-wrap off your second ten-pak of sticky notes…
time to buy 3-M stock (the makers of sticky notes)
I predict that 2007 will be the year you get picked up by a syndicate
OK, I give up.. where’s Mr Stinky? In the cloud? Napping on the floor underneath all the chickens? Why no telltale stink lines to reveal his whereabouts? Did he find some more plastic explosives and erase himself completely?
A chicken a day, keeps the shrink away !
Congrats
Very much good!
Congratulations sir.
Congratulations on reaching #500, and a thousand thanks for the daily laugh. I always look forward to my fix of Savage Chickens in the morning.
Thank you so much for all the hours of work that brightens so many of our days.
Keep em coming!! (please)
Congrats dude! That’s a lot of chickens! So where is the ebay auction where we can bid on owning this giant masterpiece?
Wow thanks everybody! you people are amazing. thanks for all the great comments and emails! I’m so glad to hear that so many of you look forward to the chickens every morning.
ZAZ asked how long it took me to draw this one. well, i worked on it on and off all week – i guess it was about 5 hours altogether. I had to take breaks every 20 minutes or so to keep from going blind – and towards the end i was really worried i would accidentally spill my rum ‘n’ eggnog on it and have to start over.
thayerpg asked about chickens with angry eyes – there are a few of them in there – look close to the bottom. And other readers are having trouble finding Mr. Stinky – here’s a hint: he’s in the right half of the cartoon.
Hey Jason – so if such a thing were to happen, theoretically speaking, what would you bid? 🙂
GreatTimeWaster, are you done counting them yet?? heheh
Seriously People…
I’ll start the bidding at $100.00
…Found the worm!!!!!! Centre to right – NO my right!
Me, too, me too! I love the chickens! It’s 3:45am. I just found Mr Stinky!! He’s there!
Thanks for all the Chickens. My very favorite is “Snape’s on a Plane.”
OK, “Mr Stnky is in the right half of the cartoon” isn’t enough of a hint for me. Still can’t find him. Is he above or below the worm? Did he grow a beak? Is his tail shown? Paws shown? haha, yeah right, like Mr Stinky has any paws left… Maybe he’s wearing deodorant and is therefore less noticeable…?
heheh okay here’s a better hint: Mr. Stinky is within a 5-chicken radius of the penguin!
Heyy a love this cartoon contgrats 4ur
500 aniversary… i really love to see day a day chickens thanks for every single chickenlaughs!!…
I love the “Down With Conformity” Poster and the penguin guy.
congratulations, doug! even though i’ve moved two continents, i still live for your chickens.
Congratulations from Zurich. Love your chickens with a nicotine like addiction factor … keep on going, please!
Congratulations Doug, and hope you’re having a great Christmas!! I look forward to finding all the various characters in this gigantic post-it when I’m a bit more sober… Btw, I second the e-bay auction suggestion! Actually, if you could put up more of your stickys to your shop merchandise that’d be great, I would so love to give them as pressies to fellow Chicken addicts!
Congratulations on ur 500th chicken note. I love those chickens to death. Happy to know that someone else thinks that they r hilariously funny. Here’s to 500 more !!!!
I’m sure it would have been trademark infringement, but this sticky note lacks Waldo. 🙂
Yay for you! Here’s to many more ‘500s’. Your fans never want them to end. So keep eating those vegetables!
THE HUMAN OF DOUBT: How do I know it isn’t just 499 chickens?!?
I’ve laughed, I’ve cried because I’ve laughed so hard, and sometimes I’ve had people come up to me and ask, “What’s wrong?” because I’ve had my head down on the computer keyboard, gasping for air. It moves me, Doug. The chickens are awesome.
“click to enlarge” …
almost like my daily mailspam
just found the three eyed chicken
now imma happy
I clicked on your link megasticky.com and it was to a very strange Japanese site, with a very strange message. Don’t you check your links?
Thanks Greg! I’ve fixed it! I do check my links, but I’m less than meticulous when it comes to checking 7-year-old posts like this one – so thanks again for pointing it out!
cheers,
Doug
No problem Doug. My wife and I really love your cartoons by the way (from the UK).
