“Chicken skin” is a Hawaiian pidgin term for “goose bumps.”
In unrelated news, the strip that appeared in today’s Atlanta Journal-Constitution was not the above strip… it referenced an old Twilight Zone episode (“Living Doll”). I’m suspecting that some papers pulled the strip.
It’s a Twilight Zone episode… fifth season (1964). “Living Doll” starred Telly Savalas… and a scary talking doll.
