Hey everybody – I’ve got some great news! I’ve got a book deal with Perigee Books, a division of Penguin Group USA! I’m really excited to be working with editor Maria Gagliano and the whole Perigee team.
Thanks to all of you readers for being so supportive over the years – it’s great to finally be putting together a book for you. And a big thank-you goes out to my agent Danielle for getting the chickens out there.
The book will be a combination of web site favourites and all-new cartoons, including fun activity stuff to help you liven up your cubicle. I’ll keep you posted on upcoming book news, including the release date!

Buy my new book!
>> I’ll keep you posted on upcoming book news, including the release date!
And the book title, I pray?
Is that a book deal or a book-book-BWAK deal?
awesome. I will buy it. I think the cover should be “glass half full?”
Awesome, this will join the other books on my shelf.
Well done Doug.
@big egg, nice one!
: )
are you taking suggestions for books names?
Excellent work Doug! Look forward to the book. Hope it makes it to the UK!
Perfection! I’m placing an order right now already 😉
No, really. As soon as you say it’s available, I’ll order one, possibly several for friends. Looking forward!
congratulations! I’ve been following your cartoons for years and sent cartoon links to people 🙂 Love the psychology (and use of ninjas!)
That is very cool news, congratulations, I’ll be buying it 🙂
I really like the title 😀
congrats
Please add the book to bookdepository.com when it gets released – I’d love to get a copy here in Oz! Yippee!
Congratulations! I look forward to the book and will have to get enough copies for work mates as well. Everyone needs help with cubicle (and sometimes door) art and wisdom.
Congratulations! That book will definitely be on my buy list.
Eggselent news (oh dear, oh dear)
Congrats! looking forward to see what comes 😀
Great!!! Congrats!
Way to go! The world anxiously awaits the chickens in print.
That’s fantastic news, Doug!
As Teg says, I hope it makes it onto the UK market.
Congratulations! It not only takes talent, but perseverance and guts and loads of luck to get a book published. I hope you sell plenty.
That’s awesome! Congrats!
congrats!
Awesome! I knew it was just a matter of time. Congratulations Doug and Chickens!!
Congrats! Let me know when the movie adaptation comes out…
Sweet Jebus! This is the miracle I have been waiting for! Yes Virginia, there really is a Santa Claus! I was just saying last night how I couldn’t wait for these to be made into a book…my espn must have been on high!
That’s great! However, will fun activity stuff be usable on Kindle?
That’s great, Doug! Looking forward to it!
Do I forsee a Savage Chicken Graphic Novel?!
The book and its pages HAVE to be yellow, like a big posted note pack
Congratulations!
Awesome news! It will definately be on my coffee table!
The book will be a bestseller, especially with this title.
I hope the book will arrive in Germany someday, but I’m worried about the translation, because german publishers tend to be kind of inaccurate when it comes to well thought-out translations.
(Examle: “Da Vinci Code” was published as “Sakrileg” what means “sacrilege”)
I’ll buy your book in english then….
&=^
That’s awesome! You’ve got a buyer here already 😀
looking forward to it! congrats doug!
About time!!! Can we pre-order? Xmas release date? I want it now now now now now!
Awesome! When can I pre-order? I like the sound of “stuff to help you liven up your cubicle.”
Congrats Doug, now more people will get to know those Savage Chickens!
That is AWESOME news Doug. Congrats!
Cool.
Congrats! Can’t wait!
HOOOORAY!!!! I’ll be making room for it on my work bookshelf!
Because, naturally, it will have Prod3000 in it… right? 😉
-AnnS.- (PROD devotee… or minion…)
Way cool! Can’t wait. I really hope “One Cloudy Day” is in there. And the moon/cantaloupe one. That is the one that made me a fan! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!
That’s terrific! Congrats Doug.
congrats! Is it being printed by the good people @ 3M so I can easily stick my favorites on my cubicle walls?
Awesome! I can’t wait to see it! 🙂
That is awesome. Now even more people can see how cool the Chickens are.
woohoo! my office could *use* some livening up!
well deserved, doug. penguin books has a great reputation; and i’m sure there are millions of penguins out there who are insanely curious about chickens.
Congratulations! Can’t wait!
Congrats Doug! Maybe this will lead to a lot of chicken feed! I will definitely get the book! Maybe we, your loyal viewers can get a signed copy??? :^ Savage Chickens Rule!
IT MUST BE MINE!!!!
Hey Congratulations!
Excited to have a Savage Chickens book on shelf.
woo hoo! good on ya!
YYYYAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!
Save me a signed copy!!!!!!!
Awesome!!!
congratulations,Doug!
My personal chickaloonies and I are thrilled for you!
Brilliant news! Tell them it needs to be published out here in New Zealand.
Excellent!!!
Contrats Doug. See if you can sneak in pop-up somewhere in there, or a scratch and sniff.
Sweet!
You should make sections with the best comics of every character.
Awesome awesomeness Doug! Only, WTF is a Perigee? And will the book be out in time for Christmas?
Fabulous news – books and chickens in one package – how cool will that be?
Congratulations! The most important thing is that the format of the cartoons not be changed. That’s part of their charm. Don’t let any editor talk you into altering the yellow-note format.
Horay! I can’t wait to have a book full of chickens!
Brillant!! Well done & congratulations.
Hey Doug,
great news! I’ll definitely start saving up for this one. 🙂
Ciao,
Antonio
I’ve been introduced to Savage Chicken a few weeks ago, and have managed to read them all (all of which I found hilarious). I’ll definitely be getting this book, especially since there are new cartoons.
on the book deal, many Congrats~
your site has been the source of countless moments of relief.
my fiance and best friend and I feel that you are a benevolent stalker who documents our lives in chickens… it is eerie how apropos your cartoons are on any given day.
thank you for your work & we are looking forward to paper chickens.
*da
@GersonK – I totally agree – it should be printed on post it notes!
YEAH!!!
Oh happy day! Penguins publish Chickens, how cool is that?
Hmmm! Perhaps a Penguin U-M? offering publishing and editorial advice?
Congratulations! Looking forward to buying it in the Philippines!
FANTASTIC!!! i can’t wait for it to come out! Will it be available in Europe, as well?
Doug!
Thank you for continuing to provide us readers with little bits of sunshine!!!
Congrats on the book! I plan on buying it!!
– Dave
congratulations! you’ve come a long way, baby.
Omg! Speaking as a bookstore employee, I can not WAIT to see it!!! (I’ll order a whole pile, promise! :D)
Great!
I will buy a copy too. Just include lots of new comics 😉
[…] for your support. And this fifth year was a particularly exciting one for me, thanks in part to the book deal and the music […]
[…] This one’s dedicated to reader David P.! It’s another extra-large cartoon on a 3″ x 5″ sticky note – I’ve been drawing a bunch of big cartoons like this for the book. […]
Way to go Doug! That’s great news and I will be waiting to find out the BIG reveal time and date!
