Creatures of Gothenburg is a web series written and illustrated by Leonard Wing. The series is set in a parallel world where most things are the same, except for the fact that there are no humans. Instead, Gothenburg is filled with all sorts of strange creatures – from gnomes, trolls and leprechauns to centaurs, hydras and frog people.

There are bohemian fauns, melancholy robots and nymphs playing jazz metal. Seagulls fly around the rusty harbor cranes and behind the green copper roofs walks the lonely giant Glenn, who has lived here since ancient times.
