"A momentary diversion on the road to the grave"
Achewood is a comic strip created by Chris Onstad, and starring a collection of stuffed toys, animals, and robots.
The art is simple but effective, and the stories and dialogue are a peculiar mixture of antiquated and modern style, rather as though Tony Millionaire's Sock Monkey and the cast of Diesel Sweeties had had a child together.
The cast includes:
- Teodor, Lyle and Mr. Bear (teddy bears)
- Philippe (a toy otter)
- Ray Smuckles, Pat, and Roast Beef (cats)
- Todd and Blister (squirrels, respectively live and dead)
- Lie Bot, Chucklebot, and Vlad (robots)
Fan favourites are the naive and cute Philippe, and the depressed and suicidal Roast Beef.
