Comic Strip / Elvis (2000)

Go To

Elvis is a Swedish newspaper comic strip about middle-aged anthropomorphic turtle Elvis, his wife Hedvig and their toddler. It's drawn by Tony and Maria Cronstam and has it's own comic book in Sweden. It started out as your average funny animal strip, but later on Tony began to base the strip on his personal life, making Elvis an Author Avatar. It's seriously NSFW.


Elvis provides examples of:

  • Big Eater: There's a reason that Elvis regularly decides to lose weight.
  • Bigger Is Better in Bed: Hedvig never mentions Elvis's penis size as something negative.
  • Black Comedy Rape: During the sex episode, Hedvig tries being a dominatrix. It's just that she ignores the safeword.
  • Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Totte was a main character until he suddenly never appeared again, around the time when the comic became more slice-of-life.
  • Comically Missing the Point: Issue #3 2011. Elvis is tired of his job as a psychologist and quits. He gets a job at a grocery store, but is hilariously bad at it. He won't realize the criticism he gets from his boss is accurate.
  • Hypocrite: Elvis has no qualms about ogling women, while he really hates men checking out Hedvig.
  • I Was Quite a Looker: When Elvis goes back in time, it's revealed he was quite attractive. He lampshades it.
