Buy my new book!
I loved this post from a few days ago: happens to me all the time…
https://www.savagechickens.com/2013/01/promotion.html
More Godzilla Movies is probably my favorite. I’d see every single one of those movies. (Oh, and I already bought the Very Very Best of Savage Chickens.)
Thanks Andrea! 🙂
I loved the one the other day where Godzilla was saying that the city needed more independent book stores.
Hi Doug. My favorite cartoon from the past year is this one: https://www.savagechickens.com/2012/11/food-food-food.html
I own two cats so I know what means when they start to mew for food 🙂
My favourite cartoon in the last year is a tough decision but if forced to choose, it would be ‘Spot the Difference’
https://www.savagechickens.com/2011/06/spot-the-differences.html
Oops, that one wasn’t in the last year…. This one was is another favourite and it was within the last year – ‘A Rare Event’
https://www.savagechickens.com/2012/08/a-rare-event.html
My favourite is the time traveler chicken who prove himself to his present self.. by punching his present self eye. :]
Really stupid thing to do but gives real and instant prove.
The other one is the strip with marketer chicken who suggest more violent on this cartoon.
My favorite (printed out and stuck on the back of my monitor at work) has to be https://www.savagechickens.com/2011/04/communicating.html
Love your work.
Love the Hoth one! Thanks for 8 years!
I love the “how to treat aracnophobia”.. hehehe The best of, for me.
My favorite is Lick Lick Lick https://www.savagechickens.com/2012/09/lick-lick-lick.html — so adorable!
We love https://www.savagechickens.com/2012/09/school-day.html – funny and true.
My favorite one is Chicken Love More: https://www.savagechickens.com/wp-content/uploads/chickenlovemore.jpg =)
I am hoping to graduate this year so I like https://www.savagechickens.com/2012/05/graduation.html
my favorite:
https://www.savagechickens.com/2012/02/the-new-guy.html
Corporate Survivalist 8 narrowly edges out 6 and 9.
My favourite of this year was Pure Evil https://www.savagechickens.com/2012/11/pure-evil.html
……But my all-time favourite is still Tigger https://www.savagechickens.com/2008/09/tigger.html
There are quite a few cartoons I like, the first one that comes to my mind is this: https://www.savagechickens.com/2008/06/death.html
Me likes “Spiderman Walks His Dog”,the entire ‘boss with a board with a nail in it’ office series, and all the Star Trek ones. 8 years, man! A few more years and Savage Chickens will have outlived Bloom County. Your dedication and endurance is bothersome. Chill out, success junkie. Grab one of my comfy chairs and watch some Buffy with me. (Thanks for the laughs and the inspiration)
Ha! Save me a comfy chair, I’m on my way! 🙂
Savage Chickens is more awesome than very awesome.
I liked this one, because it is exactly how my girlfriend acts after drinking even a drop of a caffeinated beverage.
https://www.savagechickens.com/2012/12/refreshment.html
This has to be my favorite of 2013 https://www.savagechickens.com/2012/10/might-be-time.html
My favorite is actually one that was on your favorite list – Zombie Cat! https://www.savagechickens.com/2012/05/zombie-cat.html
I love all of the cat comics but cats & zombies!? AWESOME!
The Timmy Toffu´s Ineffective Pickup Lines
My favorite is “Late Again.” https://www.savagechickens.com/2012/03/late-again.html
My favorite had to be Middle Earth. I wouldn’t be surprised if we actually see a starbucks in the Hobbit Trilogy, with product placement being so big now.
can’t decide: either Timmy Tofu’s Ineffective Pick-up Lines, or “Horde of the Dance” with the step-dancing Irish zombies – and to Doug: Congrats on 8 years and thank you for making me laugh every single day
The way I feel every year as an adult…
https://www.savagechickens.com/2012/10/birthday-milestones.html
I really hate it when people say they “hate their computer” (it’s usually because they’re expecting the computer to do something other than what the are actually telling the computer to do), so I really liked this one:
https://www.savagechickens.com/2013/01/stupid-computer.html
That one came very close to making my Top Ten too! 🙂
Hey,
happy anniversary!
I really enjoyed the “Quarterly results”-Cartoon!
Of course you know your own cartoon but for those, who read the comments, here´s the link: https://www.savagechickens.com/2012/09/quarterly-results.html 🙂
Happy birthday
I really got a kick out of the Klingon Scrabble strip from the other day. Passed that on along to some select geeky friends.
https://www.savagechickens.com/2013/01/board-games-of-star-trek.html
Kevin
Happy eighth! I think my all-time favourite is “Tech Support 1200 AD”, which I have on my door at work — the tech-support chicken reboots an abacus by turning it upside-down. Weirdly, I can’t find this one in the archive.
I also have some secondary faves, for punniness, I like the disenchanted forest — https://www.savagechickens.com/2011/03/whatever.html
And of course I am fond of the bear-themed one dedicated to me and my wife on our 18th anniversary — https://www.savagechickens.com/2012/07/dangers-of-the-ocean.html
I got a kick out of the one featuring Aquaman https://www.savagechickens.com/2012/10/super-friends.html
Another one that almost made my Top Ten list. I actually held onto that idea for a year or so until I felt like I could adequately draw those superheroes. I like how Aquaman sort of looks like William Katt! 🙂
I love “Timmy Tofu’s Pick-up Lines” … very instructive!
I really love this strip:
https://www.savagechickens.com/2013/01/scientists.html
Happy anniversary and I hope you’ll cheer up your readers for next 8 years too!
I am hesitant to choose a *favorite* but I laughed pretty hard at the Starbucks locations of Middle-earth.
Cat Psychologist!
https://www.savagechickens.com/2012/06/cat-psychologist.html
My favorite from the last year is Cupcake Land (followed closely by Unicorn and Cat Plumber).
Congratulations on 8 years of awesomeness.
My favorite from this year was Prime Directive: https://www.savagechickens.com/2012/08/prime-directive.html
My favorite is the one where the chicken call in sick to places where it doesnt work! So funny!! I have it in my desk
I think that Timmy Tofu’s Ineffective Pick-up Lines, is your best sub-series of all time! They are all hilarious! I have a hard time deciding the best one, it’s either: Come Here Often? or A Place Like This.
I think I’ll stick with “A Place Like This“, that one’s got really a funny twist!
Also, I love Timmy’s facial expressions.
I know that it’s just a block of tofu, but his expressions make my day every time!
I’m always amazed by how much Timmy’s expression can change. He’s such a minimalistic drawing, so he presents all sorts of interesting cartooning problems, like… how do you make a smiling box look lecherous? Or how do you make him look like he’s drinking beer at a bar when he doesn’t have any arms?
For some reason, I drew way more Timmy Tofu cartoons this year and it was nice to see him back in action 🙂
There are so many…
This: https://www.savagechickens.com/2012/11/the-language-of-love.html
This https://www.savagechickens.com/2012/11/pure-evil.html
This: https://www.savagechickens.com/2012/11/beyond-shuffling.html
This: https://www.savagechickens.com/2012/11/come-here-often.html
Well…, almost all of the cartoons are my favourites. In fact, I want to be you, can I?
And this one: https://www.savagechickens.com/2012/11/how-to-train-your-cat.html
Honestly anything with Prod3000, although every-time I see him I always end up with the line from the Simpsons Treehouse of Horror when Kang realizes that the humans are fighting back “This one’s got a board with a nail in it!”
My favourite cartoon in the last year is Jenkins:
https://www.savagechickens.com/2013/01/jenkins.html
I love is so cute! 🙂
Hi Doug! I’m a big fan of your comics. It’s hard to pick a favorite, but I love Refreshment. I’ve always thought polar bears and evil and you gave me some great evidence.
My favorite was Olympics for the Lazy 1: The 100-Meter Meander.
I’m plain embarrassed to admit how long I spent contemplating how that competition would be judged. Based on style, the randomness of the meander, speed of the meander, complexity of the route taken as seen from air…? Is it an individual competition like its cousin 100-meter sprint or is it a team sport…? Is the meandering conducted in grass, sand or what? Can you use drugs to enhance your performance (like what, alcohol?)? …How do you even train meandering?
I have been a Fan for years.So many comics to choose from. I love Cat Zombie! I also just enjoy all the ones with cats, star trek and star wars.LOVE THOSE CHICKENS. 🙂
https://www.savagechickens.com/2013/01/stupid-computer.html
Without question, arrived at the end of a perfect storm of a week, technologically speaking, for me.
I laughed and laughed and laughed. 😀
My favorite Savage Chickens comic from the past year is Nice Day For A Walk (and not just because it was dedicated to me. Didn’t hurt though!)
https://www.savagechickens.com/2012/08/nice-day-for-a-walk.html
My favorite was Riker talking to the cat woman from outer space. I have been re watching TNG and forgot what a pimp he was.
I believe I am not the only person who finds it hard to choose only one cartoon (this problem with choosing is worst when I face a restaurant menu.. I’m probably the only person who cheers with joy when the menu consists of a single page). But, as a coffee addict, one of my most-favorites from last year is the one with potential coffee substitutes.
PS: congratulations on the new books! 🙂
I love ALL jason’s cartoons but this one is one of my most favs.
https://www.savagechickens.com/images/chickenfriday13_4.jpg
love the air-freshner tree =D
also that one “asthmatic ninja fails again” where he sneezes.
and the quietest place on earth is a ninja library..
i remember so many of your cartoons and i take their prints to pin on the cube wall =)
Its really impossible to decide because, well, its just really impossible to decide! That said, I do really love Nov. 19’s “Up to Speed”!
Thanks Doug for lighting up the day every morning. You are better than the sun.
It’s impossible to choose just one. From the past year, I love The New Guy. My favorite of all time might be yawnomatopoei… so hard to choose!
Thanks for the daily giggles. Here’s to 8 more years of chicken humor!
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150514970854438&set=pb.538574437.-2207520000.1359644579&type=3&theater
Where do you see yourself in 5 years
Chicken interview !!!
Choosing only one is too hard, but the Christmas ones were killer (quite literally :D) I specially liked the Caffeine one, and the Nakatomi Plaza one (https://www.savagechickens.com/2012/12/refreshment.html and https://www.savagechickens.com/2012/12/wrong-place-wrong-time.html)
I have to say that I LOVED the 3D The Best Christmas:
https://www.savagechickens.com/2012/12/the-best-christmas.html
Not only was it very unique in that it was 3D, but it totally reminds me of the Christmas when my parents’ cat climbed the tree — and my sister sat watching as it fell over!
My favorite for the past year has to be “How To Train Your Cat”. Congratulations on 8 great years of “Chickens” and I look forward to another year of great work.
How to train your cat, Lesson 2. An expensive yet effective way to stop your cat from scratching the furniture.
Congratulations on 8 years! Your dedication to the chickens is awesome! So hard to decide what is my favorite from 2012, so I pick “A work of art” Timmy Tofu’s inneffective pick up line from March 12th. My all time favorite, and I bring it up in conversation every curling match we watch, is from February 26, 2010…watch for it, you don’t want to miss the golden snitch! LOL!
Thanks for all the fun!
It is very difficult to pick just ONE, but I can definitely relate to this one:
https://www.savagechickens.com/2012/02/the-new-guy.html
Your comic never fails to make me laugh. Thank you Doug! Keep up the good work! 🙂
My favorite cartoon from this past year was “Where No Cat Has Gone Before.”
https://www.savagechickens.com/2012/05/where-no-cat-has-gone-before.html
Darn it, Doug! How are we supposed to pick just one favorite! (Excuse me, “favourite” as you say in Canada, eh?)
My indecision, coupled with a mild dose of OCD, compelled me to re-read every cartoon in 2012 and I still only managed to narrow it down to my three fav categories: chicken cartoons, chickenless cartoons, and special guest cartoons. There were so many that made me laugh out loud that I didn’t know where to begin!
That being said, I will choose this one for purely sentimental reasons:
https://www.savagechickens.com/2012/10/work-is-exciting.html
Might I also add: CONGRATS on your 8-year anniversary! I only wish I had found your cartoons sooner! There has been a hole in my comic life for so long since Gary Larson stopped putting out new material. I am pleased to say that you are now my new FAV cartoonist! Keep up the good work, sir!
Apologies for rambling, but now I feel compelled to share a few of my favorites (in random order):
Conclusive
A Challenge
I Heart You
Harsh
A Lost Art (b/c I love cheese)
The Death of Books (b/c I love books)
At The Library
Late Again
Compulsive
Introduce Yourself
Cat Psychologist
Cupcake Land
Summer Heat (b/c I live in the desert)
Super Friends
And these work toons:
Insufficient
Conflicted
Another Day
Tough Questions
Looking Ahead
Love, love, love the Teambuilding Tips series – I used them for a training I conducted – they were a hit! But I also like the Train Your Cat series. What can I say – I LOVE SAVAGE CHICKENS!!! ‘-D
It was a tough decision given all the great choices. “Conflicted”(Mar 19) really encapsulated they way I felt when I was involuntarily reassigned in my organization at the beginning of the year. But the one that makes me laugh every time I see it, that never fails to lighten my mood, is “Rover” (Oct 12). I have no doubt that is precisely the first thing a time-traveling dog would do! Just thinking about it has a smile on my face right now. Keep up the good work!
Love this one https://www.savagechickens.com/2012/12/years-of-therapy.html
I always thought Rudolph’s reindeer friends are very mean.
I really loved the one with the Smartphones!
My favourite one was “Employee Morale”.
To the next eight years 😉
Hello!!!
It’s a hard decision, there are a lot of good ones, and in most of them appears PROD3000, …but today If I have to pick one, I choose: “Zombie Memory” (26 Oct 2012 ).
Regards,
Nicolás.
It’s really hard to choose, but there are two pictures – the one I really like, and one that I hate because it gives me goosebumps (for a reason my company won’t allow me to talk about 😉 ). Oh wait, now I see it’s the same picture… damn.
The Die Hard one was definitely my favorite. Looking forward to what you make in 2013!
My favourite this year was Employee Morale. https://www.savagechickens.com/2012/05/employee-morale.html
Or was it my least favourite? Because it made me laugh. No. Cry. I don’t know anymore. But I printed a few and posted them in the office…
This was my favorite from this past year!
https://www.savagechickens.com/2012/04/sending-a-message.html
My favorite is 4-D… I wish I could time travel just for this hahaha
https://www.savagechickens.com/2012/01/4-d.html
My favourite for 2012 is Work With Passion!!!!
I love them all and you make my day everyday!!!
My favorite comic of the last few years was the 2nd of the great Teambuilding Tip series. https://www.savagechickens.com/2011/08/teambuilding-tip-2.html
Keep up the great work Dave, glad to see such a smart comic get published.
Damn, so hard to choose! Among my favorites this year besides the Cat Adventures (incredibly realistic) and cartoons about communication was the Captcha cartoon.
Doug seems fond of the phrase ‘piss off’ and so am I when it comes to what often feels like attempts to deliberately frustrate people!
I don’t know how I was lucky enough to discover Savage Chickens at the time he was just starting out (besides the fact that I had lots of free time at a painfully boring job) but I am so happy I did!
My favorite comic!
https://www.savagechickens.com/2007/08/eight-steps.html
My Favourite is Employee Morale
I just found this website a few months ago and spent days voraciously tearing through all the old comics. My favorite from this past year was from Nov 5th:
https://www.savagechickens.com/2012/11/too-romantic.html
