Oh Bummer

Well, the constant media attention about the new administration seems to have made an effect on Chuck after all. Who knew Chuck watched the news?! Maybe it's more on a subconcious level....
The ones among you who know us also know that we always shy away from any political statements. This strip here shows that we're up to date on what's going on in the States WITHOUT making a political statment! Not bad, huh?! As so many time before, this strip was conceived as a byproduct while trying to come up with a totally different joke....

(btw: if you didn't get the strip, try to read it out loud)

Voy a México

Hi Everybody!

I will be in Mexico until May 12th. But not to party it up, I am working. My boss has two Hueys down there and we are fighting fires with the Mexicans believe it or not. I get to fly for "The Red Team" (see my posts in the forum).

Not much should change on the Chicken Wings side. The shop will be run by my lovely assistant and Stefan will keep an eye on everything else. If you have any issues, requests, ideas, and such, please direct them to Stefan or you can email Heidi under heidi@chickenwingscomics.com.
She'll pass on any important infos to me as much as she can.

I'll try to stay in touch, but if I can't I'll see y'all in May!

MacGyver could do it!

For this series (yes, it's gonna be another series, folks) we started out with just one line. I was driving home to Vegas from LA and all I had in my head was Chuck saying the line "MacGyver could do it." I've used the line before when joking around with other mechanics every time we run into a problem. My fire crew also use a similar line every time I refuse a mission or landing spot for whatever reason. They use my relief pilots name, let's call him Terry for this story:
"I can't land here. It's too tight."
"Terry could do it!" I then hear coming from the back seat.

So, I was driving home with that line in my head. Then came the line about the one-eyed sock puppet and that's what I wrote down. The next day I showed it to Stefan and an hour later we had a whole series of strips which was a lot of fun thinking up. I don't want to give too much away so I'll stop elaborating right now. Enjoy and post your feedback in the forum!

Spring is here

Ah... spring is here! The last few days have been wonderfully warm and sunny here in Vienna. The work of packing books and running back and forth to the post office has now quite subsided and I actually manage to spend an hour a day in the park. Talking about our new book: Thank you everybody who bought one! I already got rid of so many boxes that can finally move around my office again! ;-)

I hope you all have a nice Holy Week and Easter weekend!
