It’s a special day here in chicken land, because this is my 3000th comic! Wow. Three thousand! How is that even possible? One comic at a time, I suppose.
This milestone makes me think about all the good that Savage Chickens has brought to my life – so much fun and so many new opportunities and experiences – including next week’s big milestone: the release of my first graphic novel!
Three thousand comics is a lot of work – some of it when I probably could have used a nap! – but I just kept drawing and drawing. Because making comics is really fun, and I love making people laugh. It’s the best job ever. Thanks for reading and for encouraging me to keep at it! I think I’ll start drawing 3000 more comics!

Congratulations! I don’t think I’ve commented before, but I’ve been following Savage Chickens for years and it’s one of my favorites. Your sense of humor is great, and you seem like a kind, cool person. Here’s to another 3000!
Awesome job Doug! No one makes me laugh harder! Here’s to many more! 🙂
Thank you Doug! I start my workday with chickens every day, so you’ve kept me going. Your work related stickies are far too close to home most days. THANK YOU!!!

I can’t wait for thousands more laughs
What a milestone! Thanks for all the laughs and for all the work mornings you have brightened. Hope there’s a good nap in your future.
Doing something creative for 3000 times is AMAZING. Thanks for making all of us chuckle. Can’t wait for “LAser Moose” to arrive.
Congratulations, Doug! Long live the Chickens!
Inception would say you are in a nap now, perhaps?!?;^)
I was! Well, I got to sleep in until 9 or so, when the cats started to get a little more insistent about their breakfast 🙂
Matrix would state you are in a nap in someone else’s nap, perhaps?!?;^)
The Lathe of Heaven states that you are in a nap in someone else’s nap but only they can be the only one that can wake you, perhaps?!?;^)
You could really already have done 5000, perhaps?!?;^) been lurking in and pecking at the chickens for quite a while and have enjoyed all thanks Doug you da chicken!
Doug, you’re awesome.
Happy 3K!!
Congrats on the milestone. Thanks for the laughs.
Congrats Doug. I am glad you have been part of my morning routine for almosf 3000 days (i started late)
Congratulations and thanks for the laughs!!
Doug, I am so happy you found your dream job. You write and draw some funny stuff. You’ve got mad skills. Best of luck!
Congratulations! Thanks so much for sticking with this! I’ve been reading since the early days (Though I think this is my first, maybe second, comment) I love your work & love to share a smile.
Congrats!
Congratulations Doug! You’re making the world a better place by bringing the funny in unique and insightful ways! Celebrate your achievement and keep your foot on the gas! 😀
Congratulations Doug! What a milestone. Thank you for all the laughs over the years, and keep on clucking’. 🙂
Thank you Doug. I love how you read & respond to our comments & all the personalized birthday greetings! Keep ’em coming & we’ll keep on reading them.
Thanks for the great comments, everybody! You’ve made my day! 😀
You’ve done an amazing job over the years Doug! Here’s to 3000 more! (P.S. please respond to this comment)
Thanks! 🙂 🙂 🙂
Congratulations indeed! I’m getting close to my 9-year subscription anniversary, I can’t believe it’s been this long! Time flies when you’re having fun =D
I’ve often shown your daily treasures to my friends, colleagues, family; whether it was the rare find of the Kahlua-bear to a friend in Australia, the neurologists playing pin-the-brain to a doctor-in-training, or your poor chickens in office cubicles to…anyone really.
And it’s also so exciting, your own graphic novel! I hope it will do well, and I’m happy for you to see that the first reviews are very positive! And how could they not be, when the heroes are a moose with laser eyes and a cute optimistic rabbit on its back <3
Good luck Doug! Now have that well-deserved nap 😉
Thanks Janouk! Time certainly has flown, so we must be having fun! Hmmm I thought about taking a nap, but there’s just so much to do. Fun stuff, for the Laser Moose launch! I’m starting to think that I might not be built for naps, even if I’d like to think that I’m the napping type 🙂
Sleep is overrated.
Thank you Doug, your comics are just great, I post the birthday ones as birthday greeting for my friends all the time. Keep at it, you’re adding lots of joy to my life!
Here’s to the next 3,000. Thanks for the laughs and insights. Or you could retire and, well, I dunno, maybe keep chickens?
PS it has taken 4 hours to compose and submit this. Wifi signal here is dodgy – in a rural village all of 80 miles from a lttle town called London, England…
🙂 Thanks Roger! Hmmm keeping chickens… I’ll have to look into that!
Um, you already keep virtual chickens. 😉
I have a feeling that the real thing involves a lot more poop. 🙂
Congratulations and all that
I’ve been reading your comics everyday for about 8 years now and I still remember the comic that got me.
Death works from home…
That joke is one of the very few things in my life that makes me happier every time i think about it, no matter where I am.
So, thank you very much for making life a little more bearable just by showing how comical our daily problems can be.
Ps.: If you ever get the chance to come to Brazil, let me know, so I can buy you a beer and you can sign for me one of yours books I have.
Nice! That one is one of my all-time favourites too! Great to hear that the comics brighten your days. 🙂
I would love to visit Brazil some time! 😀
Doug, your such a cool person!
(Punctuationman alert! Punctuationman alert! Punctuationman alert!)
Congrats Doug! I might not come to comment very often, but I always read. Your comics brighten my day. Thanks!
Congratulations! Your comics have prompted so many smiles and laughs for so long now! Thank you so much!
It’s so amazing to see you’ve finally hit three thousand! I can’t believe I’m witnessing such history! 🙂
I absolutely love how you made the milestone comic about yourself. Very clever 😉
Thanks Gavin! I confess, though, that even though drawing comics can be hard work, I’d never trade it for more nap-time! 🙂

Your chickens make my day worthwhile and some of that “Work” stuff, man, did I see myself in there or what? 😀 To 3000 and more, Doug.
Speaking of 3000, it would be funny if you made a comic with Prod 3000 with the milestone in mind. 😀
Congratulations Doug! I treasure my birthday comic from you, and wish you all the best on your graphic novel launch. Please keep making us laugh 🙂
way to go! Keep on chicken’ 🙂
Keep it up!
Do you have a Patreon account?
I keep meaning to start up a Patreon page. I’ll let you know when I do! 🙂
Congrats, Doug!
I love your comics so much, and I keep going back to the old ones from time to time. There’s a few I can say are my absolute favorites, but it’s really hard to even create top 10. I can’t wait to read Laser Moose and Rabbit boy. You’ve done a great job, please continue to do so in the years to come!
Greetings from Serbia 🙂
