Blast From My Past

The Heat Monster is still with us. The temperature, (or "tempacher," as the local TV meteorologists pronounce it, which drives my husband to distraction) has been near 110° every day for more than a week.
So how about a little comic relief from a strip I used to do in the 70s: Bad-Ass Chicken Stories!
They were based on a real story of a poultry truck that crashed on the LA freeway, sending its chickens into the brush by the road, where they lived and became a nuisance, according to a story we saw on the Johnny Carson Show. Eventually, the police came up with the idea of soaking chicken feed in wine and feeding it to the chickens, who were eventually caught. But not before I, with the help of my late friend, Phil Bewley, came up with this cartoon.
