The winner of my sixth anniversary contest is… Niels Hansen! Congrats Niels! You win one of my personal copies of Savage Chickens: A Survival Kit for Life in the Coop, signed by me, plus a hand-drawn copy of your favourite 3″ x 3″ Savage Chickens cartoon, drawn on a sticky note.
The three runner-up winners (who will receive a Savage Chickens coffee mug of their choice) are: Craig, Henri, and Vepxvi. All winners should have received emails from me in the last few minutes asking about their mug choices.
Thanks to everybody who participated in the contest! And don’t worry, there will be many more opportunities to win Savage Chickens stuff soon when the book is officially launched in March. I’ll keep you posted!
Also thanks for all of the wonderful comments about my sixth year of chickening. Many of you said extremely nice things that I really appreciate, and thanks also for pointing out your favourite cartoons from the past year. Some of them made my long list and some were surprises; some of the common favourites that didn’t make the top ten lists were: Trouble at the Moisture Farm, Mutual, Never Gonna, Very Dangerous, From the Fiery Depths, Waiting Game, Captcha, Hang in There, True Love, and the entire cat adventure series.
Update: Winners announced!
To help celebrate Savage Chickens’ sixth anniversary, and to thank you for your support, I’m going to give away one of my personal copies of Savage Chickens: A Survival Kit for Life in the Coop, signed by me. And I’ll include a hand-drawn copy of your favourite 3″ x 3″ Savage Chickens cartoon, drawn on a sticky note and stuck inside the book.
There are two ways to win:
1. Sign up for my daily chicken email, or
2. Add a comment to this post or this post telling me which cartoon was your favourite one from the past year.
I’ll draw a random winner for the book on Sunday. And I’ll also draw three runner-up winners who will receive a Savage Chickens coffee mug of their choice.
This Sunday, I’m celebrating six years of Savage Chickens! Here’s my annual cartoon showing all of the characters who appeared in more than one cartoon in the past year. See how many you can identify!
This has been a really fun year for me. I’ve spent a lot of time behind the scenes working on Savage Chickens: A Survival Kit for Life in the Coop, which is coming out in a month and features mostly all-new cartoons created especially for the book! Working on the book got me experimenting with new ideas, and I started drawing larger cartoons this year, such as 3″ x 5″, 3″ x 10″, 3″ x 20″, 3″ x 25″, and even 12″ x 12″. I hope you’ve enjoyed the longer cartoons – I’m having a lot of fun trying new things.
