Achewood is what you might classify as "funny animals," if funny includes the sociopathic (Lyle), the painfully naive (Phillipe), Spicoli-esque, stuttering, van driving squirrels (Todd), compulsively dissembling robots (Lie Bot), and feline hipster gourmands-cum-music impresarios wearing thongs (Ray). Writer/illustrator Chris Onstad has an off-kilter sense of humor that is sometimes sombre, sometimes frenetic, and always unpredictable.
