Best of 2020

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 are the most-visited comics from 2020. And these comics also serve as a handy summary of 2020 itself, because most of these jokes were influenced by pandemic- and election-related stress:

  3. Video Conferencing Etiquette
  4. End of the Rainbow
  5. Replaced
  6. Sourdough
  7. Some Time
  8. What Life Hands You

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!

As always, thanks to all you readers for stopping by and reading my chicken jokes. 2019 will be my 15th year of drawing them! And I’m very excited for you all to see what I’ve been working on, moose-wise, when my new book comes out in the fall. Happy New Year everybody and see you in 2019!

To celebrate the year, I’m giving away three copies of Disco Fever. I’ll choose winners randomly from anybody who leaves a comment here about their favorite Savage Chickens comic of 2017.

Thanks and see you in 2018!
Thanks for another great year everybody. After 13 years, I’m still having so much fun drawing the chickens, mostly because of you and your encouragement. 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!
