Puzzle Description:
Greetings from the Boneless Chicken Ranch! Wish you were here.

That would be so horrible. But unfortunately, it might be possible one day.#2: Kit E. Katz (hello) on Jun 29, 2011
Nice creativity, Kristen.
XD OMG! I don't know what to say... Definitely very Larsonesque.#3: Bryan (Cyclone) on Jun 29, 2011
Made me think of that Ray Bradbury story "Skeleton", don't read it if you're squeamish.
I noticed the size - 30x30 or less for this week's WCP, I don't think this can be used for that purpose.#4: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Jun 29, 2011
your correct Bryan...we cannot consider this puzzle as is, but i will save it if she changes the size.#5: Kristen Vognild (KRISTEN) on Jun 29, 2011
I missed the size restriction. I need to read these things more closely! This was, in fact, a Far Side:#6: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Jun 29, 2011

Feel free to republish the bigger version as a separate puzzle - I hadn't solved it yet and might have an interest in it.#9: Jota (jota) on Jun 29, 2011
Thanks for your entry, this will result in tasteless soup.#10: Lollipop (lollipop) on Jun 29, 2011
Loved Gary Larson, loved your puzzle.#11: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Jun 29, 2011
Sorry, Bryan, I moved one chicken over and lopped off the right side of the puzzle.#12: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Jun 29, 2011
thank you Kristen#13: Byrdie (byrdie) on Jun 29, 2011 [SPOILER]
Definitely a weird image and a difficult solve (as in tedious - picking out all those ones).#14: Janet (jltho) on Jul 1, 2011
Unfortunately, the chicken ranching world isn't too far from this. Many chickens are raised in cramped quarters and fed such rich feed that they develope large bodies with poor muscle structure and are barely able to move. Not boneless yet but they may as well be.
Go free range! Developed muscle definitely tastes better.
HaHa! Love Gary Larsen#15: Linda Martin (ilovethispuzzle123) on Jul 2, 2011
challenging and fun solve. love the image and the sentiment. great job.#16: Teresa K (fasstar) on Jul 8, 2011
i also agree with byrdie regarding the chickens having poor muscle structure and, i believe, weak bones. when i was a kid chicken bones splintered when broken. they rarely do now.
Very fun solve. I enjoyed figuring out the red pixels. This was a great idea for this theme, Kristen.#17: Jane Doe (telly) on Jul 10, 2011 [SPOILER]
Now that's what I call ground chicken...haha (groan)#18: Tonia Bergh (tonnie) on Oct 29, 2023
good puzzle. :)
LOL! Awesome job, Kristen!#19: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Nov 3, 2023
Re: Comment 8, if you click on the solved image, at the bottom it lists hyperlinks to the previous versions. I do prefer the composition of the first image, but I had to alter it to fit the competition parameters. ^_^
