The Things

This article is about the Viz comic strip. For other uses, see The Things (disambiguation).

The Things are recurring characters in the British adult humour magazine Viz.

The Things are some kind of troll-like creatures with long fur, fangs and narrow tails with arrowhead shaped tips. Despite being the whole point of the strips they appear in, they are always in a supporting role, with the main protagonists being a perfectly normal human married couple.

The humour in the strip comes from one of the couple saying some sentence containing the word "things" to the other, which by itself would be perfectly ordinary, but the strip causes the reader to assign a new, more literal and physical meaning to the word "things."
