Description

I drew this after going to Costco and realizing that a rotisserie chicken and a bag of tortilla chips cost the same amount of money. To me, that’s mind boggling. Maybe I’m in the minority here, but I think an animal is worth a lot more that a pile of corn. Weird.

I actually drew this month and months and months ago. So long ago, in fact, that Laura was wearing clothes that wouldn’t make any sense in this chilly winter weather we’ve been having. So I had to change her into a sweater (which is fine, because she wears sweaters a lot). I didn’t change what the other guys were wearing. They seem to be fine no matter the temperature outside.

If it helps most chickens are often on the verge of suicide due to the realization that their savior won't be born for another 30 years.

I have not considered that.
Hey, I wonder if the two could be combined?

Looks great.

Prices on food is always strange to me.
Winslow is right about a bag of chickens tho!

Yeah, prices are weird. And if you go to different places around the world, the prices get even crazier. When I went to Central America with my wife, we bought steak dinners for her whole family and spent about $20. But if we wanted to buy a tube of toothpaste, it cost like $10...

Do you know that the world chicken population is over 50 billion?  Just saying.  I find that disturbing.

Is it? Clearly we're not eating them fast enough.

There's a comic by a Filipino artist titled Elmer where the chickens of the world suddenly achieve sentience.  That's really disturbing.

ElectricGecko In reply to ejala [2014-12-11 10:44:17 +0000 UTC]

That's ... horrifying.  Considering that right now there are over seven chickens living for every one human on this planet.

*Gasp* They don't have sleeves?!  I figured they were pencil-thin, just like their arms.

Maybe, maybe not. Their arms are largely a mystery.

if the arms count towards the total surface area, I imagine that, if they're warm-blooded, they'd have to heat far more than ever gets shown in any of their comics.

also, Laura has great taste in sweaters.

AK-Is-Harmless In reply to Rodlox [2014-12-10 13:34:31 +0000 UTC]

That's probably why their arms only appear one-third of the time.
