funny animal

Anthropomorphic comic creature

Funny animal refers to a genre in comics, animation, and illustration featuring anthropomorphized animals—creatures that walk upright, wear clothes, and exhibit human personalities while retaining animal features.

Mickey Mouse, Bugs Bunny, and the cast of *Zootopia* are funny animals.

The term dates to early 20th-century cartooning and persists in comics criticism, though the animals needn't be comedic: She draws funny animal comics with surprisingly dark themes.
