Plot
AntiBunny features a cast primarilly consisting of rabbits however one hare is also a member of the main cast. While humans provide a background, the rabbits are the main focus of the comic. At some point talking rabbits appeared in the human world and began to inhabbit the comic's main setting "Gritty City". AntiBunny is the story of these rabbits whom attempt to live normal, or sometimes abnormal lives, as outcasts in society.
Humans on occasion shout "RABBIT" at the main characters, and signs sometimes appear in the background with phrases such as "No Rabbits" "Rabbits not allowed" and so fourth, implying a seperation of classes between human and rabbit.
Characters
- Pooky: The main character of AntiBunny is usually Pooky Bunny, a chain smoking white, lop eared rabbit. As revealed in the second strip Pooky's cigarettes are actually incense. Pooky wears a large witch's hat and a dark blue hoodie, which bears a frowning face on the back and the words "Sod Off" below. Pooky's lighter features a simillar motif roughly scratched in and reads "Enchanted Forest" A phrase which appears in various places throughout the comic. Pooky is antisocial by nature however has one friend, a fellow rabbit named Hannibal. Pooky is almost always drawn smoking, and occasionally dreams about about a black lop eared rabbit. The most notable thing about Pooky however is that no one is quite sure which gender Pooky is.
- Hannibal: Hannibal is the second character to be introduced. Hannibal puts up an act of being an angst ridden goth, however his more happy go lucky, friendly side tends to show through. Hannibal wears a black buckle fronted coat, and has silver fur, with long black lines running below his eyes. He also wears a collar with a chain leash attached to it. The back of his coat bears the image of a smiley face with a painted devil's tail and horns.
