Your favorite web comic sucks, but this one has bunnies. Super cute bunny goodness can be found on Zack Rabbit's twitpic and flickr stream (some image overlap). And don't miss the youtubery: "Still Alive," "Bumble Ball" (NSFW if you're a stuffed animal), and "Yoga for Stuffed Animals" among others. @ZackRabbit's on twitter too.

I liked Yoga for Stuffed Animals, but the comics? Either they're not funny, or I'm not understanding them. Or both.

These comics are really bad. Are they satire? Or is the author a friend of yours?

That comic has to be a satire, like Powerup Comics.

Not a friend, never heard of any of these links prior to today. I didn't spend a lot of time with the web comic (not my thing), but the twitpics are clever, and I did like the videos I linked to.

The girlfriend follows the Twitter stream. She showed me the pics, I found the rest.

Obnoxious cuteness, Cheesy "case of the monday's" quality humor, drawings without perspective and twitter!?

This must have something to do with furries, but I can't quite figure out what.

The post already said "Your favorite web comic sucks" so I'm left with nothing to say.

"Yoga for Stuffed Animals" and "Still Alive" were pretty cool - thanks for the post!

You forgot a tag: 'facetious.'

I went back and spent a bit of time with the comic. Again, web comics aren't my thing (I generally don't like them offline either). This said, he seems to be using twitter and the web comic exactly backwards from most people pimping a product. It seems to me that the comic is used to promote his twitter stream.

I am pretty sure you aren't going to get the comic if you don't get twitter (which metafilter has a hate on for).

This aside, ignore the comic and the twitter stream if you like, but the pics are cool, so are many of the videos.

I also admire someone who can put a project like this together, and tie in so many different parts.

I get twitter and didn't get the comics. perhaps the one thing I am getting is "old"

I still don't get it. I feel really dumb.

I got an email for the artist and have permission to post it:

I read the comments posted on the metafilter page.. I guess "regular" people will not understand my cartoon, because I am a stuffed rabbit and my humour caters to other stuffed animals, pets and pet owner (who believe their pets can type/talk/twitter).

People think my plushateer is crazy because they don't understand that I am indeed real.

I only discovered Twitter in April and didn't "get it". I only stayed on because in May, I found other stuffed animals to twitter with. Thus, my comic is for that particular audience, not the humans.

Anyway, just thought I'd explain.

(just for the record, I didn't think of it as promoting my twitter. I was just trying to make a few people laugh. The comic, I've been drawing for a few years (for friends), but only started posting (online) in march. - Honestly, I really didn't think anyone even looked at it..until now, anyway.)

Zackary Rabbit

So it's a recursive subset on a focused topic. I guess sort of like metafilter.
