Firestone Tells the Chickens to "Get Out"

Yes, more chicken jokes. The sad chicken is headed back to Longmont, where chickens are loved and the foxes are fed. Thanks for reading.

The Big Stink In Firestone!

I love the smell of goats and chickens in the morning.

Well, it looks like this edited version will run after all.

Other Silo ideas.

A giant Oskar Blues Beer can will be a great landmark. Is it what Longmont wants to be at the south west entrance to town? "Welcome to Longmont, we party!" Anyway... I came up with over 20 other possibilities that the silo building could be turned into. These 10 are the best REJECTED ones.

I can't believe the Longmont City Council is still trying to solve this whole chicken thing. I have done so many chicken cartoons, that I have been told "no more". I was pushing my luck with this one. (It just had to be done) There is a saying that states "If you have made everybody mad, then you have done something right." The problem is that they have done nothing and everybody is mad. It's time to make a choice.

The idea for this cartoon came from a story by Rachel Carter in the Wednesday, July 23rd Times-Call. Again with the chickens. I forsee thousands upon thousands of birds, chickens and ducks flocking to Longmont. The town will be over run with birds of all sorts. Longmont will be one fowl city. Every one who visits will think that the city of Longmont is for the birds. Published in the July 31, 2008 Times-Call Thanks for reading!

The idea for this cartoon came from a story by Pierrette J. Shields in the Thursday, July 10th Times-Call. If I were a coyote, I would love the chance to eat some fresh food. In fact, I would be thankful for all of the stray and loose cats around town. Can you imagine the dinning options if Longmont allows residents to have chicken inside the the city limits. KFC's in every neighborhood! Yummy.

Chickens deserve pet guardians too

How can anyone hate chickens. We need to be more accepting of our bird friends. Just not in my back yard. (Right?)

Everybody loves chickens. I just don't think they should be pets.
