The story of Doug:
When Doug was a kid, he drew cartoons all the time. He drew cows and alligators and pigs and superheroes. He drew a platypus named Ed. He drew a dead dog named Dead Dog Bob. He drew everything he saw and everything he wanted to see.

Many years passed. By a strange series of coincidences, Doug found himself working in an office. The more he used a keyboard, the worse his penmanship became. The constant hum of computers made his brain twitch. He stopped drawing cartoons.

But then the chickens came.

Like some sort of haunting supernatural force, the chickens bubbled up from the darkness of Doug's subconscious mind. In a trance-like state, he drew them on office whiteboards. He drew them in notebooks. He drew them on anything that sat still long enough. People started asking, "Who's drawing those damn chicken cartoons everywhere?"

Doug tried to stop but he couldn't. The chickens were unstoppable. To retain his sanity, all he could do was grab a stack of sticky notes, and release the savage chickens.

I like Doug's story... and I like his cartoons.
