Axie and Chad

Axie and Chad is a 2D animated comedy series revolving around two roommates and the challenges they face as young adults figuring out how to live.

Axie is a goth axolotl who wants to be respected, and Chad is a lazy, carefree rabbit. They rent a small house near the city and have to overcome their differences to survive adulthood.

My animation team and I wanted to use our stories to represent a group of people that aren’t normally seen on tv, and help people feel less alone in the struggles of everyday life.​

In this episode, Axie comes home after a long day of work to everything demolished and Chad missing. Chad becomes a public enemy after experiencing the effects of catnip.
