Here’s my annual picture of everybody who appeared in more than one Savage Chickens comic this year. And what a strange year it has been! Because of the chaos of this year, my comics have veered between confronting the stress and avoiding it entirely through escapist weirdness. In the weirdness category, I really enjoyed drawing some unexpected theme weeks this year, including Melancholy Blob, Zep Broondar, and Moon Bear. Expect more weirdness from me in the new year, but let’s hope we have less real-life weirdness in 2021! For now, here’s…

Here’s my annual picture of everybody who appeared in more than one Savage Chickens comic this year – including me and my mom (the chickens playing cards here). I had a very busy 2019! I went on the road a lot! I visited my family (and drew a week of comics about them), I was a guest at Rose City Comic Con and at Hal-Con, and I did a tour of elementary schools around British Columbia. And somewhere in there, Andrews McMeel published my third Laser Moose and Rabbit Boy book, Time Trout!

Here’s my annual picture of everybody who appeared in more than one Savage Chickens comics this year – including myself for the first time (the chicken in the plaid shirt). I had a great 2018, working on the next Laser Moose and Rabbit Boy book (I’m almost done!), doing a ton more public speaking gigs (including my first tour of elementary schools), and working on other new projects that will hopefully come together in 2019. Busy times!

Wow! Goodbye 2017! What a crazy year! Crazy around the world, of course, but also crazy for me personally since I spent most of the year busily putting together the Laser Moose sequel, Laser Moose and Rabbit Boy: Disco Fever.

And it’s been really fun to expand my work into new territory with what is now a series of graphic novels. Next up for me, book 3 of Laser Moose and Rabbit Boy! Here’s hoping for a great 2018!
