"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.
