Poochie poochie

This story takes place in a fantasy world in which humans coexist with a peculiar race of anthropomorphic beings called “plushies”.

In a darkly comedic and satiric tone, these “beings” have suffered the abuse and arrogance of humans throughout history, up until today.

...in a world in which humans and stuffed animals coexist, three cast members of a children’s TV show have been fired due to low ratings...

In this context of discrimination, three anthropomorphic friends who work on a children’s TV show called The Poochie Poochies are fired due to low ratings. Humiliated and unemployed, these three plushies (a bear, a llama, and a squirrel) will search for the way of recovering the success they once had.

The first encounter with this race took place in 1543, when a ship filled with fur trappers discovered anthropomorphs on an unknown island north of Asia, which they named “Fur Paradise”.

More boredom, more unnecessary material
