'''Pink Chickens''' is an Australian comic created by Patrick A. Reid [[hottip:*:Patrick Alexander]]. It ran in the Australian kid's magazines Mania (from 2001 to 2002, when a parent complained and "spoiled everything for everyone") and Krash (2005-2006), coming to a total of 14 "episodes". The comic has since been hosted on the official Pink Chickens website, [[http://www.pinkchickens.chickennation.com which can be found here]]. According to said website, the current status of the comic is "WHO KNOWS!" - Mr. Alexander saying that he wants to complete the comic, but also that he "...may not be capable of finishing it (or willing to finish it) in its current form."

* TalkingWithSigns: Frupert uses this as his only form of communication "on-screen", so to speak.
