25 New Comics Capturing Modern Everyday Life Experiences From Social Injustice To Sweet Moments Of Love
Interview With Artist
"Blobby And Friends" is a comic series featuring Blobby, a friendly Blobfish, and a group of other characters like Monkey, Lily, Roly, Ashley, and Punk Kid. While telling their stories, these comics also shine a light on the everyday social problems some people face.
"I don't know if there's one thing that inspired me to start the comics in the way that it exists today. We actually started with something really simple, with funny and cute gags that were more at the surface level. As the account grew, we realized we had an opportunity to use Blobby to speak up about more serious topics," Zack, a member of the team behind the comics, said.
Scroll down to explore the universe of Blobby and its friends!

Amen, Blobby! Sadly, this right has been taken away for many women in the US and other parts of the world. 😔

I think that having an abortion because you got rap-d by a family member or stranger is totally ok, like the Ohio ten yr old who got rap-d by a random 28 year old.

It's a vocal minority and it's becoming a problem for the GOP as it keeps them from swaying the left and Independents.

Fvck the baby(Obviously, I'm being sarcastic but if the mom/CHILD that is pregnant and doesn't want the baby, or cannot physically handle having the baby, or cannot support the baby and give it the help it needs, then they should be allowed to have an abortion. Because I'll be dammed if that child should grow up neglected just because someone at a fancy desk decides that abortions should be illegal)

Balancing serious social issues with humor in comics is no easy task. It's like walking a tightrope, trying not to fall on either side. That's why we were curious to know how "Blobby And Friends" manages to talk about important topics and still keeps the comics fun and enjoyable. Zack, the creator, shared that finding the balance is an ongoing journey, much like real life. "I want to entertain our readers to a degree, but sometimes when an issue is particularly serious it demands the spotlight and I try to just leave the funny bits for a different time. Unfortunately, I am not always getting it right. At the very least I've learned that you can't mix a serious cause with a cheap joke."

YES! My friends and I keep telling the teachers we can't focus because the boy's knees are distracting us after one of us got told off for a "revealing" shirt. Their faces, they are always so confused haha
Behind "Blobby And Friends" lies a dynamic team, each member contributing their unique talents and perspectives to bring the illustrated stories to life. Zack shared that they do have specific roles, but more importantly, for the conversation, they all bring different points of view. "We frequently check in, sharing anecdotes from our lives. Ultimately, a story can originate from various sources: a personal experience, shower thought, or an issue that we feel deeply about."
Talking about long-term goals, Zack shared that he definitely wants to focus more on the narrative and interpersonal relationships between the characters. "I've been dying to dive deeper into the lives of Lily and Punk Kid. There's so much to explore there. Hoping that I won't disappoint!"
"From the start, my goal was to create a space where readers felt seen. To add a bit of wholesomeness to people's timelines, especially considering how dark things can get on social media.
It's really important to me to address issues we care about, but I always come back to this: I know people are struggling out there. How can I make things just a bit better in this moment?"

The movie is sexually anthropomorphizing fish. She's pointing out how ridiculous it is to make female animals into bombshells.

As much as I don't really understand why people get so riled up when a popular character's ethnicity is changed, I would very much like to see how it would go if a traditionally black character was suddenly portrayed as white. It seems to me this has to go both ways and it would become less suspicious.

To the haters here with their nasty comments : I'm a pansexual woman in a relationship with someone who is non-binary. So let me explain how it works for you all : NONE OF YOUR EFFING BUSINESS. If you can't cope with it and don't like it just turn your narrow bigoted mind the other way and forget all about it.

Street artist caracature art is a weird concept for me. Paying an artist to point out your physical insecurities

I don't think I've ever thought about eyelashes on myself or anybody else. Why is it a big deal?

Reminds me of an amazing shirt I saw in the wild: "Of course I'm pro gay, I didn't practice this hard to be amateur gay"
