The Turkey 2015

It’s That Time of Year When We Show Thanks With Stupid Drawings of Silly Fowl!

Man! It’s already that time! My favorite draw! Time to show your appreciation and thanks for the year of chortles, chuckles, gasps and that vague feeling of befuddlement or worry that you, a weird ass group of humorous Mythical Beast Draw-ers provide for one another throughout the year!

All that! Just by drawing turkeys!

So, make ’em good, make ’em bad, scribble ’em with crayons, charcoal or pens, cut ’em out of paper, trace em off your hand, draw us a world where elder turkeys gods rule over a light less world, filled with impossibly pale, fish eyed people, or maybe you’ve always wanted to do a feathery self portrait with a gobbler? or maybe ghost turkeys are you’re thing with their softly echoing calls growing ever closer, and now closer still…. hahaha…. We don’t care, so long as you can show us you’re out there and like to laugh about silly drawings like the rest of us.

Our record for submissions is still from the turkey 2012, but we came damn close with last year’s Turkey 2014 so spread the word, make your whole family draw while you wait for the food, or when they are sleepy full after the meal and incapable of resistance! Let’s warm up your doodlers, scanners, phone cameras and let’s do it again, but this time with feeling!

Remember turkeys won’t be judged, simply appreciated! And as always please send submissions to
Please submit entries to this address

Please feel free to include your own caption or text with your entry, I may add a snippet here or there but I’ll try to stay true to your original intent. On your marks, get set, draw!

Submissions for the Turkey are due by midnight the evening of Friday the 27th

So If you were to ignore the obvious overtones of death, dominance and consumption and instead noticed on the emotions in the face of that hollow eyed turkey kid… You might be able to tell that I really F’ing like Thanksgiving… But is that the corpse of Sam Kinison on that platter? Seems shaped about right?

Yes the old standby combo of post it and ballpoint! Great frenetic energy here, and while I assume that’s his waddle. To add a lil tragedy, I kind of like the idea that they’re headphones, and that’s as close as an armless beast can get em to his ears!

Yes! Pirate turkey’s asking you a question! Maybe you should answer! Also I like that this works cause pirates were famed for smelling “Fowl” get it? get it?

It’s funny, I’d think for as many violent chickens as we got for El Pollo Malligno, there’d be more horror turkey’s, cause dammit this one is fun as hell with its frosted eyes of death… maybe people are afraid of making the holiday too real!

One of my favorite things about the turkey draw is that it gives everyone, new drawers and old favorites alike, a quick chance to stop in and say hi… and to make fun of my pug for always looking pensive… well and in this instance… for having terrifying bird legs!

Oh man he has enough dangling participles you could almost imagine him as a boss level on a sega genesis game… like first the wattle comes down in a fiery rain and eventually the whole bird is flying up and down trying to smash you with its plump breastesses… that is of course assuming he is capable of any level of movement… which is perhaps… questionable…

Yes! Imagine Dan Blankenship diving all the way to the bottom of 10X, barely making it back to the surface through his narrow 100ft plus detritus ridden, booby traped hole only managing to pull out a legend of the giant wet but magically preserved bird that lay below… I mean I’d watch a show about that!

Man its so hard to keep current on turkey fashions from year to year… So nice to see a turkey taking the time to feel pridefull… Now that tie? that’s not quite a bolo and not quite a kerchief right? I know with an open chested shirt it looks manly as hell even with his velveteen coat!

You seriously gotta love how much color some young’ns puts in a turkey drawing! I mean dude even signs his name in burnt umber! And if you’re saying “so what?” Do you sign your drawings in burnt umber?… Yeah didn’t think so! ๐Ÿ˜‰

Haha mostly I’m having a hard time making it past the “hay braw…” without chuckling and loosing focus, but I’m pretty sure i love the wavy-bird texturing and that sun is how you say “hot”!

Humorously,I think the saddest Spanish teacher I ever had answered this for me one day when she just said… “Sadly Nicolas (nicolas was my Spanish name of course)… I doubt very seriously that anyone promised you the world would be fair”… hahaha! I wonder if she ever got out of that miserable funk?

So A tiny part of me wants to keep MBW running for long enough to have like a crazy 50 year long anthology gif of turkey sean aging… I mean I want to keep it rolling for more reasons than that… but it’s a pretty solid one!

Man good dinosaur/fishy head on this guy… taking the hand fowl back to its cold blooded roots! I like it!

Timely, funny, and a lil well placed wordplay even! You might just have a future in this turkey drawing business! I’m impressed how wrong teh individual parts are but together how accurate it becomes!

Now I could be wrong, but, I think this is another Trump themed turkey, but maybe that’s just the overwhelming darkness, the flappy neck skin and unfocused eyes that lead me to that conclusion ;). So far I’m going with this one for moodiest!

You know of all the turkey parts that science can swell with flavor… I gotta say the neck would not be my first choice! ha! Seriously though special thanks to our artist here as she muscled a hell of a lot of great bird drawings out of her family and we appreciate it!

So the real question is did the artist use reference for this or not cause if not I suddenly feel better about Americans supposed ignorance to international geography! PLus you gotta love that there’s a kraken in the mediterranean!

Dammit there’s always one that just stumps me! Like I’m sure there’s some big green giant tie in or something, but mostly I’m just gonna stay lost in this one’s eyes, and you should know there was a very prettily plumed tail that got cropped out!

So I’m not sure if it’s a magical princess cradling a magical baby turkey or if its just a magical turkey princess but I think the meaning might be the same either way!

You know upon initial inspection it feels so warm but the more I think about this one, the darker it gets… so I’m staying surface level and saying if mama bird is proud (and dammit she looks it!), I’m happy for her!

So this one makes all the sense in the world if you imagine it coming from a 15 year old english kid who just spent a sunday morning watching Clint Eastwood movies… It’s waaaaay better knowing it comes from someone’s mom!

Yes!!! When I reach for words to describe him, my mind finds only pain and emptiness yet from that void comes a whisper, no strike that, a knowing! A knowing that I will never be as old nor as delicious as he! (great unfathomable coloring btw!)

Fighting for the forces of finely feathered flavor! haha! So seriously the crotch weight shifted forward way he has to ride that fowl makes me pretty damn happy! It’s like you have to greet the steed (well bird), the riders pelvis, then finally, the rider himself!
