This seems an odd choice to feature for a Sunday afternoon, but the Facebook algo rhythm giveth and who am I to complain? Savage Chickens is centered around the work of Canadian cartoonist Doug Savage, a dark humor strip that communicates the human rat race, via the medium of a chicken-verse, hence the name. The common and underlying thread of many of the gags is, of course, is using the short-evity of chickens as an analogy for the brutality of modern corporate culture. The combination is potently effective and can be pretty harsh if you really think about it. As a strip, Savage Chickens has been around for twenty years, and a Weblog Award for best comic strip. There are occasional deviations into related themes, such as office humor of the non-avian variety or jokes about other animals interacting with the world of humans. What I loved, was the way admins and members occasionally play up the chicken connection for the comment section. Doug Adams is himself involved in the running of this Facebook Groups. Great stuff!
