** spoiler alert ** Jake is a chicken (technically, he’s a rooster) who was born into a new world where his parents (also chickens) awoke to self-awareness and intelligence on par with that of human beings. Angry and frustrated in his adult life, Jake returns home to spend time with his elderly father, Elmer, who passes away soon after his son arrives. Elmer has left Jake his book � a journal/memoir of what happened when all of the chickens (their people) changed and how the world became a different place for everyone.

Like a lot of other people (according to Gerry Alanguilan) you might be wondering “Why chickens?� Gerry likes chickens and got to thinking about what *they* might be thinking about one day and turned some of those ideas into a series of comics. His “what if?� is pretty solid � humans would completely freak out and kill millions of chickens. Chickens would retaliate � especially the fighting cocks. I’m not sure how smoothly the whole “chickens are people, too� transition would go (we’d probably still be fighting), but we sure wouldn’t have KFC anymore. I don’t know that there’d ever be chicken-human relationships (Jake had a crush on a human actress, and his sister May was engaged to a human man) as Alanguilan suggests � this kind of creeps me out � but maybe so (just not in the timeframe he suggests � 20 years or so?).
