The Turkey Battle 3

The Week We Show Thanks the Only Way We Know How, With Stupid Bird Drawings

It’s already that time of year again! Time to show your appreciation and thanks for the year of giggles, snorts and befuddlement that you, a weird ass group of humorous Mythical Beast Draw-ers provide for one another on a weekly basis.

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 zombie turkeys eat people, or space turkeys smoke weed in dune buggies, make you’re whole family draw before they eat pie! 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.

We set a record for submissions last year, so spread the word, warm up your scanners and let’s do it again, but this time with feeling!

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 29th

Sweet! Godzilla vs Turkey… or perhaps in this case Thurkdora! I’ve always been entertained with the three heads of a beasts having somewhat different agendas… I mean the other two are busy kickin ass or having it kicked and all the middle one has to do is hang out looking stern? And is that spaceman on the left huge or just a trick of perspective!

You know first i was just entertained by the, beak that wasn’t a beak, but was in fact a nose… but dammit if this might be a John Rambo turkey!?! They drew first blood john! entirely justified! At least I’m pretty sure that was the moral of that movie!

You know that’s always been my biggest issue with old school, air cured hams… you just never know what environment they’ve been hanging out in for the last year… gotta appreciate this birds hustle though!

Why hello square beaked and wild eyed lil’ marker turkey! I certainly do wish i could see more of that word above your head but I’m just going to assume it says diving, as turkeys are famously into entering the water headfirst… or i just made that up… i forget…

When the turkeys cry – Let them know we tried – ‘Cause when the turkeys sing – Then the new world begins… man how the f*ck did i remember the lyrics to a white lion song… anyways good high contrast tail feathers on this one!

So I can almost guarantee that this isnt what the artist intended but all i can see here is the old hulk hogan strut with feathers to his ear hole so he can properly gauge the judgement cast down by the screaming turkey day crowds.. and I dont know if you look at those built up turkey shoulders maybe that is what was intended?

Man I miss construction paper! Maybe it’s the timing but anyone else getting a lil look of bloodthirsty revenge from this guy?

Oooh the ol’ closed finger hand turkey! i always think the closed fingers give em a much tougher Dimetrodon kinda appearance, though I find its usually easier to trace your fingers before the white wine!

And best dressed turkey goes to this one! I find it entertaining that pearls seem to have started trending in holiday season beast drawings… but the skirt sweater combo’s what really got me! Very nice!

My favorite thing about this one is how many mysteries it begins! I mean is that turkey really as long as at least half of a table? Or is that just a small table? Is our mismatched arm having knicker clad pilgrim defending invisible diners from backstroking ghost birds? or does he have nothing to do with said cannon beyond proximity and that’s not a burnt match and is instead a magic mushroom in his hand… i could go on… but i wont ; )

Technically a found turkey by one of our regular submittors vs submitted by the artist so I’m not gonna say much other than i really like it’s smile!

Man… kinda wish i had thought up a turkini! Though I’m pretty sure its the belly button that seals that deal… And I love if you gave her eyelashes it looks a lil like Spongebob in a very elaborate costume!

I mean I understand its a dickish contrarian thing, and I’m not sure the request could have been phrased more politely… but i still feel that this triggers that – “you can’t tell what to do” instinct… and now I want to eat her more than I did before.

10 points for the dad joke! (11 points if you count that the caption is in cloud-like bubbles and potentially coming from behind his tailfeathers) And one of the better things about birds and their giant eyes is that I have almost no idea if he/she is happy, startled or terrified that a xenomorph is about to burst from it’s belly!
