About Doug
When
I was a kid, I drew cartoons all the time. I drew cows and alligators and
pigs and superheroes. I drew a platypus named Ed. I drew a dead dog named
Dead Dog Bob. I drew everything I saw and everything I wanted to see.
Many years passed. By a strange series of coincidences, I found myself working in an office. The more I used a keyboard, the worse my penmanship became. The constant hum of computers made my brain twitch. That's when I stopped drawing cartoons.
Then the chickens came.
Like some sort of haunting supernatural force, the chickens bubbled up from the ol' subconscious mind. In a trance-like state, I drew them on office whiteboards. I drew them in notebooks. I drew them on anything that sat still long enough. People started asking, "Who's drawing those damn chicken cartoons everywhere?"
The chickens were unstoppable. To retain my sanity, all I could do was
grab a stack of sticky notes, and release the Savage
Chickens.
