Savage Chickens Cartoon: “As Happy as a Clam” - Doug Savage Comic #1216178 (License: Personal Use)

In this hand-drawn yellow-toned comic by Doug Savage, a cheerful-looking chicken stands on a sandy shore beside a buried clam, declaring it’s “as happy as a clam.” The punchline reveals its grim reality: it spends all day hoping a seagull doesn’t swoop down and crack its shell open. The contrast between innocent idiom and visceral danger delivers signature Savage wit.
