Webcomic: The Bedfellows

The Bedfellows is a furry-oriented webcomic (exclusively on Fur Affinity) later adapted to a YouTube series of comedy animated short films. It follows the crazy antics of two anthropomorphic roommates: Robert "Sheen" Shenanigans, a mean-spirited and ruthless green cat/dog cross; and Taylor "Fatigue" Stenson, a very dumb and happy-go-lucky purple jackalope. Together, they do a lot of crazy stuff and get on each other's nerves.

It was recently announced in February 2013 that the webtoon series was picked up by Mondo Media (of Happy Tree Friends and Dick Figures fame) for distribution.

The comics are available to read at FurAffinity

and the animated cartoons are watchable at YouTube

. Be warned: They contain Not Safe for Work elements.
