Elmer

The story of an angry chicken with a chip on his shoulder (do chickens have shoulders?), Elmer is a beautifully inventive black-and-white comic book graphic novel that takes place in a world where chickens have the intelligence of humans. Jake, the aforementioned angry chicken, is furious at all the perceived slights and injustices he experiences every day at the hands of humans who do not accept chickens are their equals. After the death of his father, Jakes learns of his family's history–and the history of all chickens who suddenly became sentient–and comes to realize what true suffering and hardship is.

Also, I should mention that this book opens with a chicken masturbating to online photos of a naked human starlet. So, if that's your type of thing, you've got something to look forward to.
