As it was once said on the late, great Mystery Science Theater: “Chickens are a cruel people.”
Well, I wouldn’t know, since I don’t really hang around chickens all that much. I will say, though, that my fiancee is terrified of them. Just last weekend, we pulled into a parking lot, and a couple of fat chickens were wandering around nearby. My fiancee froze and got all SWAT Team with a ticking time bomb in a building.
As in, “We’ve get out of here … NOW!”
She also claimed to have a sense of where the chickens were near. Now, that sounds like the worst superhero power ever. However, I’m not going to be too hard on her alektrophobia. She’s the one that grew up on the farm, after all, and she’s the one that has been on the receiving end of those vicious, pointy beaks.
Which means that there’s a good chance that today’s webcomic would send her into catatonic fits… hopefully, though, in the midst of laughter. Today’s Webcomic Overlook will review Savage Chickens. It’s so named not because they terrorize young women with their wanton pecking, but because it’s named after its creator, Doug Savage.
