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.

Win a copy of my new book!
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. Or you can tweet about it, or post it on Facebook. Whatever you like best. I’ll announce the winners when I come back with new chickens on January 8. Not sure which comic was your favorite? Here are the top comics of 2017, according to you and according to me…

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!

Time to say goodbye to crazy ol’ 2016! It was an exciting year for me, thanks mostly to Laser Moose and Rabbit Boy. But it was a fun year on the chickening front as well – and I reached the awesome milestone of my 3000th comic! Here’s my class photo of all of the characters who appeared in more than one comic this year, and below are the top comics of 2016, according to you and according to me.

Here are the most-visited comics from the past year!

1. Practice – most popular 2016 comic and 2nd most popular ever. Based on personal experience, cuz my mom’s a piano teacher so I grew up hearing this sort of thing. Thanks Mom!
2. Debate – the first of 2 election comics that made the top ten
3. Density – thanks to a busy December, half of this year’s top ten is festive
4. Kids These Days
5. Election Day
6. The Best Interview
7. Secret Santa – a poop joke I drew for a 10-year-old’s birthday!
