Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Is this actually a thing anywhere. I haven't heard of anyone calling it anything other than "a taxidermy" or "taxidermied [animal name]"
This is a play on words, you normally wouldn't call it a stuffed animal, but it is technically a stuffed animal. The joke in the comic is that it subverts expectations.
"Taxidermy is the art of preserving an animal's body by mounting (over an armature) or stuffing, for the purpose of display or study."
From Wikipedia
"I have a mounted deer head"
"I have a stuffed raccoon"
I think it's common
Actually yes, know quite a few people who got weird taxidermist cats and raccoons, not necessarily for their birthday bit for other occasions.
Appalachia is a strange place.
Yes, when I was a kid in CA people would describe taxidermied animals as being “stuffed”
I distinctly remember the parks department bringing in “stuffed” owls and cougars and stuff into class during first grade to teach us about the local wildlife. It was rad.
