W. is a dialogue-free series of 30-second animated shorts that aired on Teletoon in 2006 as interstitials between longer shows. It was created by the Quebec City-based production studio 10th Avenue Productions
. 3 seasons were produced, comprising a total of 156 episodes.
The shorts follow a man named William, stranded on a small desert island and how he lives his life. In most shorts, he attempts to escape from his island with the help of a cormorant who acts as his only companion, usually to fail in some way (often as a result of a shark who also lives around the island).

W. contains examples of:
- Butt-Monkey: Nothing ever seems to go right for William.
- Eye Glasses: William has a pair, though they don't bend to conform to his eyes closing.
- "Far Side" Island: The island is very small.
- Human Cannonball: William did this in one episode.
- Non-Human Sidekick: The cormorant, who serves as William's sole companion.
- The Short Guy with Glasses: William does not seem to be very tall.
- Threatening Shark: One frequently shows up to antagonize William and the cormorant.
