Wally and Osborne

"A webcomic about a polar bear and a penguin in Antarctica."

Wally and Osborne chronicles the many adventures of Osborne (a penguin) and Wally (a polar bear) in Antarctica. The format varies from gag-a-day to story arcs, but it's safe to say that the story never takes itself too seriously. Unfortunately, it hasn't been updated in a little under four years, but there's still a decent archive to go through.
