Sweet Tooth: The Animal Army Explained (& How They’re Different In Comics)

The Animal Army Sweet Tooth introduces to the audience on Netflix is a decidedly whimsical one – but this is not what were they like in the comics. Sweet Tooth has been praised by viewers for its beautiful visuals and storytelling, with much acclaim also being directed towards the series protagonist, who comes in the form of a wide-eyed and optimistic human-deer hybrid named Gus. Armed with a mission to find his mother and all the kindness and hope a child can possess, Gus’ journey is one filled with as many friends as it is inevitable enemies – balancing the sometimes painfully real pandemic the story is based in with far lighter moments.
