** Mixed with a bit of EarlyInstallmentWeirdness, where Teodor and Cornelius had much simpler, more childlike personalities befitting their status as stuffed animals. Cornelius especially couldn't tell the difference between different types of alcohol in an early strip, something which clashes badly with his later characterization as a refined, experienced man of the world who, among other things, works as a bartender.

** Amusingly, Ray and Roast Beef were originally a trio, along with Pat, and the joke was that they were interchangeable and had identical personalities. When Beef was first named, the reader is explicitly told that his only character trait is that he's "Not Ray, and not Pat." Needless to say, this changed a LOT, with Ray and Beef quickly developing their own personalities and becoming the central characters, while Pat drifted away from their trio and remained a supporting player.

Later on, while stoned on Ray's roof and making fun of Pete's songwriting, Ray and Téodor stumble across the concept of HeavyMithril ''rap''. (Unfortunately, [[HesRightBehindMeIsntHe Pete is also getting stoned on the roof]], and it leads right into another one of his unsuccessful attempts to kill the other cast members.)

Achewood is a critically acclaimed and very adult comic by Chris Onstad. They detail the adventures of his stuffed animals: straight-man Teodor, refined Cornelius, sweet-natured young Philippe and violent boozer Lyle. Early into the comic, the neighborhood cats (ideas man Ray, and clinically depressed Roast Beef) were introduced and eventually became the central characters of the stories.

When he does manage to visit his mother, the house looks different, the bed is uncomfortable, and his mother doesn't remember how to make his favorite dish the way he likes. The ghost of his father explains to him that leaving your parents and consigning your memories of home to the past is part of life. When he returns to Achewood, the characters speculate that this trip was necessary because Philippe originally left home by accident; he couldn't truly leave it until he went back to say a proper goodbye.

* WainscotSociety: The earliest strips operated under the loose conceit that all the characters (including the cats) were owned by humans. This quickly developed into the notion that animals had their own society quietly operating alongside human society, with places called "[[http://achewood.com/index.php?date=10102003 Undergrounds]]" wherein they could enjoy animal run businesses and so forth. If animals wanted to, say, openly drive cars in the human world, they needed [[http://achewood.com/index.php?date=08302005 to wear disguises]]. This, too, was eventually dropped, apparently in favor of always having had humans and animals living side by side on equal standing.
