Buy my new book!
I AM OFFENDED BY BEING LIMITED TO SELECT ONLY ONE FAVOURITE AND I AM USING CAPSLOCK TO EMPHASIZE THAT!
My favourite cartoon was that “adventures of the tree astronaut”. heheheh. I really enjoyed that..
2 questions – are there ways to order a signed copy from your website? do you know if you’ll be wandering over to the Bay area in Cali? I have been waiting for this book since the day it was announced 😀
Doug, this has to b the best one from this year : Indispensable – Got to love it that lassie pushed little chicken down the well.
: )
My favourite was definitely Lassie pushing the chicken down the well (Indispensable). Genius!
I’ve got to vote for Chewbacca. That was a work of geeky art.
@dragos: Ha! feel free to post more than one favourite, by all means!
@moi: I haven’t quite figured out how/if I’m going to offer signed copies via the web site. I will be signing every copy I can get my hands on in the Vancouver area, but I don’t expect to make it down to the Bay area. But I’ll keep everybody posted about any upcoming signings etc. as soon as I know for sure!
Wow, it was a hard choice to make… So many funny comics!
I’d settle on the “Curling Revisited” (https://www.savagechickens.com/2010/02/curling-revisited.html), but close to it was Death Comes Knocking which I found really hilarious (https://www.savagechickens.com/2010/05/death-comes-knocking.html).
Thanks for your comics, here’s to another year of laughing!
Bad hair day- hard to pick it though….
My favourite this past year is ‘Very Dangerous’ – “Rakes? Why did it have to be rakes?”
https://www.savagechickens.com/2010/11/very-dangerous.html
I have quoted it on several occasions with much success. 🙂
It is hard to choose!
I loved the cat adventures series, in particular #5.
my favourite cartoon is ‘the notebook’, when i first read it i almost died of laughter
I liked “it is a mediocre life”
oh damn, just read of the past year, then that would have to be shopping with macbeth
Doug I love your comics. It’s the first thing I look at every morning.
My favorites from the last year:
The Haunting (Paranormal Inactivity) – October 27
Lassie to the Rescue (opening jar) – November 18
Captcha (Piss off) – November 23 (So true to life!)
Very Dangerous (Rakes) – November 24
It Never Ends (last page missing) – November 26
Karl Marx and his inspiration for the ideology. (https://www.savagechickens.com/2009/02/karl-marx.html)
“It Never Ends” with the never ending story was AWESOME! 🙂
my favourite cartoon is definitely ‘a clean desk is the hallmark of an efficient worker…’ it’s a jewel of polished irony, sincerity and simplicity… oh yeah, and it also makes people laugh when they come into my office, look at my desk first and then at the cartoon *GGG* (yes, my boss knows about this cartoon and he liked it ;))
happy anniversary! 😀
“Ultimate Badass II” is my favorite.
https://www.savagechickens.com/2010/04/ultimate-badass-ii.html
It has to be the spoiler alert for me (https://www.savagechickens.com/2005/11/spoiler-alert.html). Take care!
a. “The usual?”
b. “Planning ahead”
c. “Chaos”
…and now I must stop….
Keep up the very good work!
The cat adventures were my favourites by a long way, expecially the kitty litter one. They were so true to life and the cats’ expressions were priceless.
“how to annoy runners” I love that one!
PD: with a friend from work we did a poster by putting together the best cartoon’s, can send it if you want. Looks nice in my room!
“Instant Gratification” was awesome satire of today’s citizens. I have it hanging in my classroom as a not so subtle jab at my students.
I loved “Cat Adventures 1” – I’m trying to do that every day! 🙂
“1984” was also great!
Ciao 🙂
“Things to Fear”. Cracks me up. I could pick a lot more than one though.
My favorite was actually the one that was posted yesterday, the “checklist” for noisy neighbors. (I thought the last item was one of the funniest, but wondered if “Afternoon Delight” would have been a more obnoxious choice than “Lost in Love”…)
My favourite one was INCEPTION!
I follow your daily cartoon for almost two years from Italy and i think they are all superb! Congratulation for their 6th anniversary!
Anyway, my favourite cartoon is Hallucinations! Awesome! 😀
https://www.savagechickens.com/2010/04/hallucinations.html
My favorite one is “A Serious Game” about ninjas playing poker. Can’t explain why, though)
“the history of communication” and “Paranoia is everywhere”, “kiss me”!
🙂 love your chickens.
My favorites are all things Mr. T.
Hello, Doug!
My favourite one is “How not to answer the question ‘Where do babies come from?'”
(https://www.savagechickens.com/2010/12/from-the-fiery-depths.html)
Totally hilarious!
I’m very new to Savage Chicken, but I love to get mine in my email at work everyday! One of my top 3 is the new year’s resolution to work on more dramatic pauses….it’s on my desk at work 🙂 A Savage Chicken coffee mug would look great next to it 😉 The astronaut tree and ‘Me me me’ narcissistic strip were my other top 2 :)Your timing is uncanny most of the time! 🙂
Well amongst many favourites I loved “The book store” with its “self-hinder” books https://www.savagechickens.com/2010/09/book-store.html
Ahhh I have four favourites! Couldn’t choose between them lol.. In alphabetical order:
1. Abominable Snowman
2. Indispensable
3. Making a List
4. Tree Astronaut
Online Love!
https://www.savagechickens.com/2010/10/online-love.html
I really loved Chicken going off to play ping pong
https://www.savagechickens.com/2011/01/waiting-game.html
and the laughing pigs
https://www.savagechickens.com/2010/04/pigs.html
Well – I love them all really!
I think my favs this year have been the cat adventures series and “The Truth Is Out There”.
Hard to pick – loved so many of them. Definitely the first email I read every weekday. I guess “rakes” and “tree astronaut” would be two of my favorites. Thanks for another great year!
I’ll have to go with “Lassie to the Rescue”, but also Lassie throwing the kid down the well..
And for this year it’s definitely the adventures of the tree astronaut .. unless there’s something like the attack of the living-dead trees, then I’m sure that would be the best one.
Cheers!
‘Friday Maze’. I printed a full size one out at school and everybody wanted to instantly solve it.
I, too, love “Very Dangerous” the very bestest!
A Dangerous Job
Funny, and probably true somewhere!
My favorite: Abstract Expressionist Pumpkin Carving https://www.savagechickens.com/2010/10/pumpkin.html
It’s really hard to choose only one favorite from 2010, but… Browsing around the ones that I starred in my Google Reader, I have chosen “Bad People”, I think it was awesome!
I live a little far, in Brazil (just a little bit, huh?), so I don’t know if I can actually enter this give away. Anyway, I decided to comment – as you can see, my english is terrible – mostly to say that I really appreciate your work. The chickens had made me smile silly countless times in the front of the computer these years!
https://www.savagechickens.com/2010/06/abacus.htmlis my favorite =)
The truth is out there is great. But, really, who can pick just one?!? Your cartoons give me a laugh at the start of every day and I love them. Thank you:)
“Waiting Game” was published just as we were completing our annual corporate planning. It now resides proudly taped to the wall of my office! Gotta go play Ping Pong now.
Rrruh Uh Ungh Guh (5/26/10). I remember laughing for hours after I read it.
Secondhand… It happens to me so often!
Making a List – dealing with OCD people is part of my life.. love it!
My all time favorite is much older.. Click Yes to reboot your machine. Click No to initiate an automatic system restart. – CLASIC!
i liked “Neighbor Noise”. realy!
Congratulations!
Indispensable!
My favorite was “Hang in There”. Your comics are an inspiration!
8/2/10 “All Chewbacca’s Dialogue From Star Wars”
I really liked True Love. “…I feel the same way even when you’re being an idiot.”
Savage Chickens is why I pry my eyes open in the mornings! Thanks for making it worthwhile.
Doug, please enter me into this silly contest. I can’t decide which chicken drawing is a favorite, so if I win, you pick the drawing that is easiest for you to draw….that will be fine with me.
Always your faithful and ardent stalker….I mean FAN!!
Lots of good ones this year but my favorite was Rule #1. It’s the background on my desktop. It replaced my previous background, which was One Cloudy Day.
It’s hard for me to pick just one…though I really liked “Hang in There”: https://www.savagechickens.com/2011/01/hang-in-there.html
The snorting, laughing pigs!
I liked “Making a List” with the OCD Santa.
i love secrets of bigfoot best 🙂
My favorite was “Daylight Saving Time” since that’s exactly what I do =)
https://www.savagechickens.com/2010/11/daylight-saving-time.html
I LOVE the Abominable Snowman and Cat Adventures!
Congratulations on six years and your book! Reading your cartoon each morning is a highlight of my day.
I’m an owner of two cats myself so I think one of my favourites of this year has to be Cat Adventures – especially episodes 3 and 4. Those two definitely seem very familiar to me…
Thanks for the laughs!
Melissa
They all great, but this year the Halloween contest was exceptional. Great fun. cvme
My favorite? Trouble at the Moisture Farm (https://www.savagechickens.com/2010/09/trouble-at-the-moisture-farm.html).
Doug: Thanks for being the “methadone” to my old Gary Larson habit! I have turned numerous other folks on to your shenanigans – and see far too much of my life in all of it. (Your “Cat Adventures” series was too realistic; I’m now in therapy.)
Anyway, my last year favorite was absolutely the iMug (https://www.savagechickens.com/2010/02/imug.html). I’m a coffee bigot and work with a Mac Addict (he loved the cartoon, too). I’m even a little surprised it wasn’t higher on the year’s list!
Keep up the GREAT work!
My absolute favorite is ‘Tree Astronaut’. The absurdity of it on many levels almost made me die laughing…
Hard to pick one.
I usually find the ones that have a Lassie reference in them hilarious 🙂
One of my favorites for 2010 was Troopers.
https://www.savagechickens.com/2010/07/troopers.html
The first thing I do when I get to work is check to see what the chickes are up to. It starts my day off right!! Thanks Doug for sharing your genius, it’s much appreciated.
Hard choice – but all the Cat Adventures – you must know my kitty!
CHICKENS!
Choosing just one is a tough job. I loved where chicken called for Lassie to open the jar and where chicken was seeking compensation for falling out of his office chair! Side note, ever since you posted chicken deciding on Piss Off to sign his emails, it is now the sign off of choice for my sister and me not only on emails but texts! You are an absolute hoot and I look forward to reading for years to come!
the cartoon i love is cat adventures ^^ i’m still laughing…
Being Seen! I sympathize with ninja nightmares. Though the cat adventures were also pretty fantastic.
Congrats on the anniversary! It’s been a fun time!
My favorite cartoon of the year was “Name Calling” (https://www.savagechickens.com/2010/11/name-calling.html)
Especially loved all of the zombie ones, but my fav was definitely The Very Hungry Zombie.
Pick just one favorite? Impossible! My favorites are the ones at desks in cubes.
there are several great ones, and perhaps it’s a recency effect kinda thing, but I LOVED “Secondhand” from a couple of days ago – happens to me and my wife all the time.
Too many great one to pick from this year, I narrowed it down to my top 4:
Craig’s List – Because it seems some people (including my wife) can sell anything on there.
Stressful Day – Because there are a lot of days when I get home and really don’t know what I did all day.
True Love – well, because she still loves me.
Beyond the Web – it’ll be a great invention if it ever comes true.
My top favorite must be The ‘Abominable Snowman’!!
My favorite is ‘Flowers?’ (https://www.savagechickens.com/2010/10/flowers.html) with ‘Obi-Wan’s Jedi Quiz’ (That’s no moon.) a close second.
<3 Thanks Doug.
Jeez, pick just one? I liked the whole cat adventure series the best, but as far as one that stands on its own… I think lassie pushing the chicken the well.
My FAVORITE cartoon from this year was “Identification” with the spider. That one had me laughing for a while. I even sent it to all my friends!
Captcha. I think of it every time I have to use it XD
emily dickenson cheating death made the lit. geek in me giggle uncontrollably!
I love the Neighbor’s Checklist from a couple of days ago. Boy that could really be put to good use. And add a few of mine own.
Keep up the good work with the cartoons. My son got me looking at Savage Chickens everyday. It brightens my day.
I liked “Identification “and “Captcha” the best
(https://www.savagechickens.com/2010/11/identification.html)
(https://www.savagechickens.com/2010/11/captcha.html)
I love Bad Cop/Guilt Cop
https://www.savagechickens.com/2010/08/interrogated.html
Reminds me of growing up in a Jewish household!
My favorite from this past year is Abacus (June 24). But my all-time favorites are from 2007: Librarian Hell and the two Woolverine episodes of Useless Mutants. Other cubicle decorations come and go, but those three are always up.
So many fantastic ones this year – saved as background images on the work computer to make us smile!
I loved “Hang in there baby” – true laugh out loud genius cartoon.
I loved Hallucinations (https://www.savagechickens.com/2010/04/hallucinations.html), just because it was funny! There’s loads more I could choose though… keep up the great work!
Boots!!
🙂
Working Weekends was my favorite… simply because that explains my day to day demeanor. 🙂
Love the chickens Doug. Thanks for all the years of laughs. Keep ’em coming!
My favorite of last year: Jedi Quiz
Hard to pick just one favorite cartoon, but the recent On the Bus was great!
Congratulations for your activity 😀
My favourite on 2010 must be “Books”.
I’d have to go with Abacus! Although Rakes was funny, (very hard to choose).
Hi Doug:
Congrats on 6 yrs. of fowl fun!
My kid niece & I enjoy your cartoons immensely.
She picks Return of the Spider & I pick Halluciations.
We would LOVE a copy of the book.
Thanks for the giggles. 8O)
Has to be the cat adventure episodes and can’t pick just one! Every time I see them I think of a dear friend of mine who has a cat named “Mr. Kitty”. He is quite the King of the palace…..lol! I love them all. Love the Chickens, love all their friends!
A Job for Engineering
Crafting and science fiction combined. There aren’t many people that could make a connection like that.
My favorite was the sigmund freud cartoon “Feelings” – I’m a counseling student and we had just discussed this kind “linear responding” so I sent it to my prof and he forwarded it to the class. We all thought it was a riot! I also loved the “Narcissism” one!
Doug! I love the chickens! They are the first thing I check at work in the morning 🙂 My favorite from the past year was “Work Intelligence Test” from April 22. Thanks for brightening my days and happy 6 years!! 😀
Demonstration Sports. It was fun imagining all the different possibilities including my recommendation of Skeet Jumping.
https://www.savagechickens.com/2010/02/demonstration-sports.html
CHOOSE??? …I think I’d have to go with “Parrots?” – https://www.savagechickens.com/2010/09/parrots.html
But I also adore “Trouble at the Moisture Farm” – https://www.savagechickens.com/2010/09/trouble-at-the-moisture-farm.html
Hysterical.
I know it’s only from a week ago, but The Very Hungry Zombie made me extremely happy and giggly.
“Curling Revisited” is definitely my favourite. Very hard to choose though. Keep up the great work!
“Making a List” is a classic. I’m waiting for someone to turn it into a animated special.
As one of the biggest Star Wars uberfans in the world; I vote for Chewie’s dialogue!
Juggling was my favorite
The ferret juggling was a great addition!
Thank you so much for that one!
I just love funny cat things. Cat Adventures 3 is a personal favorite! (my cat does exactly that.)
It’s really hard to tell, since I have my “list-of-favourites-Savage Chiken-cartoons.”
But for this case I would say “Things to fear.”
Greetings from Chile!
Trouble at the Moisture Farm of course. Even though it doesn’t feature chickens 😮
https://www.savagechickens.com/2010/09/trouble-at-the-moisture-farm.html
So many options [runs to the archive]
I’d probably go with “the bookstore” the one about the self hinder books
(gotta love self-hinder books!)
Jigsaw. So totally Jigsaw.
My favorite was “Hamlet’s Plan”!
Very hard decision. But I guess the winner is Hang in there. A co-worker used to have that poster up in her office, and everytime I see this cartoon, the alligators just come to life. Thanks Doug.
Savage Chickens is the cutest and most relatable comic series I’ve ever read. I love it! 😀
As for my favorite this year it would definitely be:
https://www.savagechickens.com/2010/11/captcha.html
Followed by:
https://www.savagechickens.com/2010/04/pigs.html
I love NSFW (and any other Trek-related ones). I also thought It Never Ends was brilliant! I sent the link to all my friends 🙂
My favorite was the one with the chicken in it!!!
I definitely liked “Stressful Day” – I posted that on my cube wall when I moved into a new group where, indeed, I didn’t know what I was doing for a few weeks!
Congrats on 6 years!
Wooohoo fingers crossed!! “Hang in there baby” is by far my favorite
Not Fair – October 5, 2010
It is the argument I’ll use if they try to boot me from here. Love your stuff, Doug! (If I win this one on a mug, I’ll carry it at my office with pride!!)
Being a Sys Admin I could really relate to “Death working from home”
i loved the one done for thanksgiving day called: “name Calling”, i always mess a friend that likes it too with it
Well, all of them!! I guess that Hallucinations, Indispensable or It Never Ends are my favourites..
January 27th’s Neighbor Noise was my favorite and most useful of the comics this year.
I’ve already completed and posted 7 in my university hall. I can safely say that this has been the most practical use from a comic I’ve ever had the pleasure to come across.
My fav is definitely “Paranoia,” from April 29. I receive the daily email and save my favorites into a folder. If I need a quick pick-me-up, I can always count on the Savage Chickens!
I have it down to my top three:
1. True Love (May 5) “I feel the same way even when you’re being an idiot” (I’d love to be able to give that to my boyfriend as a gentle reminder)
2. Trail of Destruction (Oct 20)
3. Curling Revisited (Feb 26)
On a side note, do you watch the Big Bang Theory? You should redo “Trail of Destruction” with Rock, Paper, Scissor, Lizard, Spock 😀
Cat adventures, parts 1 through 5. Apparently you know my cat. And what she gets up to between snoozes.
Does this mean that your book is Now Available in Stores? Ah, not ’till March 1. Can’t wait
Loved the Cat Adventures series! You must have been the previous owner of my rescue cat; you caught his life in sticky note so perfectly!!
Oh man… the best one?
I have 3:
Tigger (I *adore* that cartoon)
Return of the Spider (totally creeps me out)
Waiting Game (can’t beat Prod3000… or maybe you can)
https://www.savagechickens.com/2011/01/a-dangerous-job.html
i work a desk job… the comics satirizing some of the things that could and have happened in this environment are amusing.
I loveth any of the Romeo and Juliet ones.
CAT ADVENTURES!!! So funny!
And my favorite of all time is Explosion, from way back in 2006.
The one where the computer was saying, “If it’s any consolation, I’m tired of looking at you all day too.” Classic – I hung it in my cubicle!
I LOVE Savage Chickens and have been getting it RSS’d to my Reader for a long time now. Problem is … I tend to read it at work….. and I work on a public desk (so I’m constantly muffling my laughing). Favorite recent one was “From the Fiery Depths” (12/7/10). Ha!!
Mermaid from September 13th. What’s funnier than a naked man being eaten by a shark? Anyone..? Anyone..? I thought so!
Doug, the cartoons make my morning everyday. Easily my favorite has to be All of Chewbacca’s Dialogue. It has been printed and taped to the front door of my office. It gets a lot of laughs. Kudos on the book!
Def one of my favorites of the year was the “The Red Pill” I’ve showed it a million times to friends at work.
Thanks for giving us another great year of chicken-centric humor. Your work often brightens my day and always puts a smile on my face.
My recent favorite is “Indispensable”.
I luv, luv, luv Savage Chickens! How could I ever pick a favorite? The one that sticks in my mind is the pirates “I hate trackin’ me billable hours”–I work for attorneys, so that one just got me! Thanks for making me smile (and sometimes bust a gut) every day.
My favorite is actually yesterday’s “Neighbor Noise”. Cheers!!!
Television
Love it!

Rüdiger
My favorite was “What?! I’ve never been fired for not working before!” Love this website–thanks for the fun!
my favorite is abacus 😀
Difficult to choose from, but my favourite must be – https://www.savagechickens.com/2010/02/tragedy-averted.html – because a combination of Scooby-Doo and Hamlet is just WIN!
The Abominable Snowman is one of my favorites.
It is hard to pick just one comic, it is even harder because the one I liked was a series. So I hope it is OK, if I don’t break up the band and just pick the “Cat Adventure Series”.
Love them all – so hard to choose. I’d have to say Love Poem or Bad Hair Day.
I think my faviourite is… was… is going to have been the time travel: https://www.savagechickens.com/2010/05/time-travel-2.html
Choices, choices… while I always laugh at each and everyone of your cartoons (and many of the comments!), and I am amazed at your profound understanding of chicken / human / zombie / Chewbacca / Lassie / robot psyches, I must go with the Cat Adventures series, despite the fact they are “chickenless”.
Please come over to Victoria and sign as many copies as you can here (you like the ferry, don’t you?)!
I work in IT, so my favorite is “Abacus”:
https://www.savagechickens.com/2010/06/abacus.html
Gotta agree with everyone, very hard to pick a favorite. Savage Chickens is awesome. Congrats on 6 years.
My favorite was the Tree Astronaut. Your cartoons are comic gold, and an inspiration to the rest of us aspiring cartoonists.
My favorite is Cat Adventures, particularly episode 3, because I have three cats!
I have several favorites, but I will pick “Abacus” as my favorite from this year, as it seems similar to my helping friends with their computer.
Waiting Game is my new favorite since I am going through that same thing at my job right now.
It would *feel* so so awesome to win pages that you have graced with your pen!
https://www.savagechickens.com/2010/08/feelings.html
Your cartoons bring laughter and smiles to my fiance and our best friend. We often find ourselves racing to see who can send a link first on mornings where the cartoon eerily matches our sentiments of the day!
keep ’em coming!
Cat Adventures, no question!!!
Time Travel!
<3
Definetely “A Dangerous Job” (January 25, 2011). 🙂
Had to sign up for the e-mails even though I’ll still come here everyday! It will take me a while to pick a favorite. I have a whole folder full of them… Pi is the loneliest number, The story of Christmas, Abstract Expresionist Pumpkin carving…. oh the delema!
And can’t forget The Very Hungry Zombie!!
I really enjoy your comics!! It is hard to choose. “Abacus” from June 24th is my favourite! I had to show this one to everyone in my pharmacy department… especially those less tech savy!
“Rakes” is a very close second!
Where do babies come from? Naturally,”From the Firey Depths”!
It’s so hard to pick a favorite, so I’m going to go with the final ‘Cat Adventures’ because it came to mind first.
Hope for many more years of ‘Savage Chickens’! It’s my favorite online stop of the day!
Chuck Norris VS Mr. T, Who will be the ultimate badass??
It took awhile but I have to say THAT is my favorite. Chuck Norris jokes amuse me so much. I wonder if he even knows what people have made him into on the internet..?
Pigs!!! Definitely Pigs!!!!!! You’re my hero, Doug. Congrats on 6 years!
Your comics are just amazing. They always brighten my day. It’s hard to choose just one. I absolutely love Never Gonna (https://www.savagechickens.com/2010/06/never-gonna.html)
Mr. T Explains
I forgot about the Chuck Norris one’s…man…too many good ones….just too many!
My favorite was all the cat adventures! They are so true.
The Beard with Timmy Tofu (https://www.savagechickens.com/2010/07/the-beard.html). It still makes me laugh. I love Timmy Tofu so much.
Just one? Impossible.
For me, it’s between Ninja Nightmares and the Indiana Jones “rakes…” one.
My favorite is “island fortress” (https://www.savagechickens.com/2010/06/island-fortress.html). Evil villains are so awesomely cliche.
Paranoia! It’s Everywhere.
Since I’m a minister and I don’t buy into most of the hype people push in religious circles, this is a REALLY great conversation starter. It’d be the same for the political circles.
“Prodqualiciency!!!” Finally! Someone who can communicate in a way I understand!
My favorite cartoon this year (there have been so many the last 6 years!) is Return of the Spider. Love it! Thanks for the years of laughing – what a way to start the day!
The cat adventures series is my favorite 😀
https://www.savagechickens.com/2010/09/cat-adventures.html
Cat Adventures for the win! 🙂
My fav by far is Chewbacca, can’t go wrong with Star Wars (classic Star Wars that is).
LOVED The Very Hungry Zombie and Quantities (oodles, scads, droves, etc). I’m a teacher and I put these up in my classroom 🙂
I also liked lassie pushing billy in the well and anything with PROD3000. Actually, I pretty much like them all.
i love the cat adventures! All episodes. Chickens is the highlight of my morning…. oh what a sad life it is in my coop….
I couldn’t pick just one, Doug:
1. Chewbacca (even though it is non-chicken)
2. Very Hungry Zombie
3. Lassie or Ninja Nightmares, I can’t decide
Trouble at the Moisture Farm https://www.savagechickens.com/2010/09/trouble-at-the-moisture-farm.html
I stumbled across your cartoon early in your 6 years and have enjoyed the ride, you just keep doing what you’re doing and that is a big prize for me, over the years I have passed along many Savage Chickens through email and have hung some in my place of work and still have a job. Along the line one of the folk I passed along a cartoon to is now sending them to me, one that sticks in my mind from a few years ago is “Separated at Birth”
First – I love all your art, so cool you are publishing a book! So with that in mind, it is really a hard decision to choose just one. I have all your Prod3000 at my desk and most recent favorite is the “The Very Hungry Zombie”.
But over all – the number one is the “Its not rocket science/ brain surgery”.
My favourite is “Work Intelligence Test” from April 22, 2010. I could choose A, C or C depending on the day!
Hm, torn between NSFW and Hang in There. I flipped a coin, it’s heads, so I pick that one.
Ok, NSFW.
Gotta go with Yesterday’s the Neighbor Noise Checklist ONLY because the humor that you engage in has never failed to tickle the underbelly and bring about guffaws and teehees and just plan LOL on a daily basis. Thank you for making the last six years well worth the daily wait to see what is up in the coop besides a chicken in the rafters getting ready to launch an egg on Napolean’s Head. Keep Rousing the Rabble.
This is my favorite.
https://www.savagechickens.com/2010/04/competitive.html
Ninjas Playing Poker!
Every Ninja and Pirate cartoon are my favorites.
Can’t wait for the book.
But if you want an absolute all time favorite for the year: two days of Zombie Business Plans got homemade pasted together into a 3×10 for the students at school to always remember to bring their BRRRRRRAAAAAAIIIIIIINNNNNNNNSSSSSS
Name calling definately! <3
Ohhhhh but Bad People was a good one too! Either one! : D
ALL OF THEM!!!! If brown-nosing doesn’t work on you, then I’d be forced to say your Very Hungry Zombie was a masterful merging of my love for Zombie flicks and my children (to whom I thoroughly enjoy reading Eric Carle books)!
Congratulations on the 6th anniversary!
My favorites are “Abacus”
https://www.savagechickens.com/2010/06/abacus.html
and “From the Fiery Depths”
https://www.savagechickens.com/2010/12/from-the-fiery-depths.html
Bad People!
https://www.savagechickens.com/2010/11/bad-people.html
timing is everything; we were conducting interviews and you posted ‘honest question’. i laugh out loud every time i hear about people in job interviews. absolutely great
My favorite of the year was the Hoping for humanity one, I just loved the way the chicken talked.
my favorite is “return of the Spider”. it reminds me of two different “night gallery” episodes that scared the bejeezus out of me when i was a kid.
congratulations!
Trouble At The Moisture Farm from 9 September: https://www.savagechickens.com/2010/09/trouble-at-the-moisture-farm.html
I’ve forwarded this to too many people over the last few months. Thanks for this, and the rest.
i had a very hard time picking one. i finally just gave up and chose your cartoon from august 10, 2010 – chewbacca playing scrabble with r2d2 & c3po.
i’ve been an avid fan since 2007. here’s hoping!
“ninja nightmares” was HI-larious!
though “the spider” gave me a laugh AND the heebie-geebies!

Thanks for a great year, Doug. SC is a great way to start off the morning. Keep up the great work.
Congrats for the 6th anniversary Doug!
This is my favorite one:

I hope I can get the book!
There are so many, many absolutely brilliant ones that had me really laughing out loud, even reading them again now.
but here are 2 especially good ones

https://www.savagechickens.com/2010/06/one-more-story.html
oh, and happy birthday 🙂
My favourite was Ultimate Badass
https://www.savagechickens.com/tag/chuck-norris
I actually love the comic Replacement, poet bot is my favorite character. Cat adventures was a close second.
Cat adventures for sure.
I loved Replacement, poet bot is my favorite character.
I love them all, but the unlucky charms really hits the spot !!!
The turkey and chicken from around thanksgiving.
“What did you say?”
I’ve signed up for the daily chicken email. my favourite comic is “stressful day” – oct 14, 2010. I love chickens in the workplace – mostly are what I experience in the office!
happy 6th anniversary! your comics always make my days!
The whole chickenlassie series was great, but chickenlassie4 was my favorite.
I loved Zombie Chickens Time For Action and I hope your book will be available in the Philippines.
I love the “Identification”. That’s totally me. I got grossed out looking at bug/spider pictures on google!
Hmm… I would have to say that my favorite on most days was Cat Adventures 3, but some days switched to the Inconvenience Store. 🙂
Congrats on 6 years!!
Fantastic idea! This is my favorite web comic and I can’t wait for the book.
My favorite would have to be… Curling Revisited.
“Sleep” is my favorite.
The Dread is still my favourite… I hate those mondays.
Any plans releasing the book outside the US? Writing from Latvia here (we lost snowdodgeball game in “Demonstration Sports” cartoon).
It is impossible to pick one! All of the zombie ones are great. A few others I really enjoy are Re: wolf, iMug, and Death comes knocking. I look forward to weekdays only because that means I get a new Savage Chicken to read!
I love a lot of ur comic. not just one.
Well I saved those comic up in a special folder on my destop but don’t worry, I did not use it on the internet, just for my pleasure of view whenever I feel like seeing ur chickens !
I like :
1. All Cat Adventures
2. Chicken book store
3. Chicken poisoning
4. Chicken tigger
5. chicken work harder
6. Chicken Yawnomatopoeia
love it all !
Congratulations Doug and thanks for your great cartoons!
It’s hard to choose but I loved especially the cat adventure series and all the Lassie cartoons.
My favourite is “all of Chewbacca’s dialogue from “Star Wars’.
That’s the geek inside me speaking!
Doug, thanks for all those hilarious years so far. And let there be many more! … Paranormal Inactivity is my favourite this year. I printed it out to carry it around and show to all my students. :o)
Without question – Zombie Neurologist!! (A close second would be Zombie Neurologist trains the interns of course!) Just started my residency and I can’t tell you on how many levels I find these amusing! Love it!!
Too many choices, Doug.
Just way too many good choices.
I guess I’ll have to say Cat Adventures 3.
Keep up the good work!
I dislike being made to choose only one! But, I’m going to go with the Cat Adventures, because I got my sister started on Savage Chickens by sharing those with her! ^..^
If I have to pick one, this will be my winner:
Abacus (June 24, 2010)
It’s my day job!!!
just to participate in the game: My favorite comic from SC is: Cat Adventures Episode 4!
Animal Mall was my favourite. That day I was feeling very cynical about our economy and political situation. 🙂 -K
You are most definitely an inspiration for my comics! I have lots of favourites, but I really do love the big Chewbacca piece from Aug. 2. 😀
Hard to pick just one. I’ll go with https://www.savagechickens.com/chewbacca but I bet I won’t win since that would be a tough one to draw again!
Mutual https://www.savagechickens.com/2010/04/mutual.html
Thanks for the contest!!
My favorite is “At the Bank”
Congratulations on the publication of your book and making it to 6 years.
“Paranoia!” – it says it all! (https://www.savagechickens.com/2010/04/paranoia-2.html)
Only discovered your website in the last few months… within the first week I simply HAD to read ALL your cartoons! Really brilliant! Thanks for a good laugh!
I laughed to tears with the Timeless Classic ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’
The abominable snowman was my favourite!!
I am the executive officer with over 20 employees. The looking for compensation after falling out of the chair while asleep at the computer really hit home for me.
It’s impossible to pick only one favorite!!!! A recent fave, though, was Suspect on Jan 5.
My favourite cartoon would have to be Tigger…it starts out all sweet and nice and quickly turns to “oh, no he didn’t?!” Love it!!!
Love your comics, keep them coming!!
I really like “Love its like a thousand tiny ninjas attacking you brain”. Partly because I am a graphic design dork and I love the layout and how you beautifully written the word love. 😛
https://www.savagechickens.com/2010/04/love.html
I enjoyed a lot that one with the competition of the ultimate badass, between a ninja and a mime! I liked it a lot! 😀
Happy 6th Anniversary!!!
I, like many commenters, am a subscriber to the e-mail list, and getting a new Savage Chickens in my inbox every day brightens my morn- er, late afternoons.
There are so many comics from the past year that I could pick, but the one that really stands out to me in the one you did on Remembrance Day in memory of your Grandfather. It was very touching, and I couldn’t help but wonder about what my Grandpa doesn’t talk about now. That comic made me realize that I should ask more questions and be more open to listening to stories about his past in case he wants to share something, and before it is too late to talk about it. So thank you 🙂
I love the you’ve done a lot of experimenting with the content and format this year. As far as picking a regular comic, The Truth is Out There has my vote, as it tugs at my little Missing Mulder and Scully Something Ridiculous heartstrings 😉
Keep drawing, and you have my best wishes for 2011 to be a great year for the Chickens! And congratulations on the upcoming book release 🙂
i like Tragedy Averted, im a geek, and i love your Shakespeare parody’s!
Love, love, love all your work! Was posting them on my bulletin board at work for years… hmm… wonder if that had anything to do with why company closed and I am unemployed? Nah, couldn’t be.
Big fan of your Shakespeare and zombie art, but going to pick the one that made me laugh most recently: Secondhand. It was so appropos because a few days before I had been telling a friend about the noxiously inane conversation I had heard from the table next to me and how I wish I could have been in the non-inane section. Ha ha!
I think my favorite was ‘Inappropriate Sharing Bear’. He reminds me of my friend Bryan 🙂
Really enjoyed this one. https://www.savagechickens.com/2010/12/impulse-purchase.html
In general the Shakespeare ones are pretty amazing!
I loved “Pigs” from back in April!
I also really enjoy the new sizes of sticky notes used. It’s a fun way to spice things up 🙂
Thanks for the wonderful sticky chickens that are in my email every day. I love checking to see what they are up to each day.
I didn’t realize it was back in April but I loved the Ultimate Badass series from April 7 to April 9.
https://www.savagechickens.com/2010/04/ultimate-badass.html
https://www.savagechickens.com/2010/04/ultimate-badass-ii.html
https://www.savagechickens.com/2010/04/ultimate-badass-iii.html
Is it bad I chose three?
Cat Adventures Ep 3 – all of them are awsome. Love your work, keep it up. I’ll be buying the book.
Almost impossible to decide, but….
Trouble at the moisture farm. anything that spoofs CSI:Miami cracks me up.
Sooo many – too hard to choose. But I do enjoy my daily dose of S.C. Here’s to many more. Cheers.
Chewbacca. That was the first Savage Chickens I saw, so it’s got a special place in my heart. (Even more so, now that I know it originates in the 604!)
I like Television! So cool.
Brick House – obscure zoning regulations are a great source of humour.
Congratulations, and thanks for making me laugh so often! It’s hard to narrow it down, but my favorites from 2010 include:
“Slow Motion” (https://www.savagechickens.com/2010/07/slow-motion.html)
“Troopers” (https://www.savagechickens.com/2010/07/troopers.html)
“Scavenger Hunt” (https://www.savagechickens.com/2010/03/scavenger-hunt.html)
“From the Fiery Depths” (https://www.savagechickens.com/2010/12/from-the-fiery-depths.html)
…and especially “The Art of Dog-Blaming” (https://www.savagechickens.com/2010/03/the-art-of-dog-blaming.html)
Best wishes for another great year.
You are the best! I love Savage Chickens, but I especially hearted Zombie Valentine <3!
The best cartoon of all time has to be “From the Fiery Depths!”
https://www.savagechickens.com/2010/12/from-the-fiery-depths.html
Hey, Doug
There were a lot of great ones throughout the past year, but some of my favorites were the Cat Adventures, all 5 episodes. Thanks for the great cartoons, keep ’em coming.
The neighbor complaint form from a few days back!
I love Online Love: https://www.savagechickens.com/2010/10/online-love.html or am I really dreaming?: https://www.savagechickens.com/2010/07/inception.html
Hypothalamus – neurologist parties!! 🙂
(there should be a “linguist parties” edition!)
My favorite comic of the year is Craigslist: https://www.savagechickens.com/2010/12/craigslist.html
a favorite!? yikes?!
I have enjoyed the zombie love this year. Also that Chewbacca biggie was great, but my personal favorite has to be Cat Adventures. I loved seeing them on the cheezburger blog too.
I’m Canadian and Curling Revisited hits a special place in my heart. There are many people I would love to share this with.
Definitely the “love poem” one about the angry badger. Loved it.
I loved “NSFW”. Awesome. And “Cat Adventures.” You should combine the two themes and do a Spot the Cat strip.
Hard to pick one…but Librarian Hell – https://www.savagechickens.com/2007/10/chaos-in-hell.html
That would indeed be my living hell!
It is hard to choose my favorite cartoon. But if I have to make a choice I pick “Identifications” from November 3, 2010.
nice!
hard to choose one…
I have to many favorites but if I had to pick one I would say: “Mutual”
uh-uh – there is no way to choose only one Chicken! 🙂
here’s my top 10:
. Television
. Friday Maze
. Breakfasts of Non-Champions
. Indispensable
. Book Store
. The Abominable Snowman
. Destroy All Monsters
. Chewbacca
. One More Story
. Scrabble Wars
…
KEEP’EM COMING!!!
“From the Fiery Depths,” easily.
Not sure if its from the past year, but i absolutely loved the one with timmy growing a beard!
Lassie pushing chicken down well gets my vote
after reviewing the comics i’ve printed to keep me sane at work, i have to agree with the majority, the cat adventures still make me giggle. but i’m pretty sure it’s because the remind me of my adventurous cats.
Ahhhhh!!! So hard to choose one…but I did love Chewie’s move in “Scrabble Wars”. VERY well-played. Can’t wait to get my hands on the book! Congrats!
Well Abominable Snowman was my fav.
chicken birthday card. the one that you print and fold and it says: “sure getting older sucks, but think of the alternative.” funny wise and then funny again.
Aiee ..just one!!
Many made me do a real LOL but the one that tickled my fancy the most (Librarian bias) and hangs on my office wall is…
..Books
(poor trees)
By far the best one that tickled me was the tech support one from December 12, 2006…maybe because at the time I was working on tech support and had just muted someone to have a break haha excellent stuff 😀
Everytime I read Savage Chickens it reminds me of The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga. Cause the book uses chickens cramped in a coop as an analogy to the way the society in India is structured.
Love Savage Chickens!
