Time for my annual chicken vacation (I’ll be back with new comics on January 2!) but before I go, here are the most popular chicken comics of 2024, and a bunch of my personal favourites. And here’s my standard class photo of all the characters who appeared in more than one Savage Chickens comic this year.

It’s been a fun year! I drew a theme week about snakes with moustaches. And another one about a piece of driftwood and a seagull. I reached the crazy milestone of 5000 comics. I finished my fifth Laser Moose and Rabbit Boy book, Spidermania (in stores April 15!). And I somehow overcame my lifelong fear of spiders!

Here are the most popular chickens of this year…
