Just today, a friend turned me on to Mr. Stuffins, calling him a cross between Teddy Ruxpin and James Bond. Now I find out that not only is he a comic book character, but he’s started Twittering.
Mr. Stuffins is written by Johanna Stokes and Andrew Cosby, with art by Axel Medellin. Stuffins is a teddy bear who also happens to be a secret agent. “When a scientist succeeds in creating Artificial Intelligence, he discovers to his horror that the government plans on making it a weapon. On the run, he hides the program inside a mechanical toy bear. An unsuspecting family buys the toy bear and a little boy discovers a new best friend—a cute, cuddly toy bear who’s got all the moves of James Bond! Chaos, fun, and mayhem ensue, from the creator of Eureka Andrew Cosby and Eureka writer Johanna Stokes!”
But apparently, Stuffins is off the reservation. When asked to comment on his Twittering, Cosby said “The bear’s outta control. He must be stopped. Don’t read his twitter updates, it’ll only encourage him.”
And Stokes added “Stuffins? He can’t possibly start twittering. He doesn’t have opposable thumbs. I don’t think.”
Boom! Studios is publishing the Mr. Stuffins comic books. For more information, see this page.
