Hey, I’m Amir Lopez; I’m based in Melbourne, Australia, and create “Wyatt & Blu” comics.
While during lockdown (which we’re back to again recently), I created a unique, wholesome, and funny series of lockdown-ish comics that were inspired by my daily life with my fiancé, friends, and other things going on in the world right now. I’m still creating more for this series, but here’s the 36 I’ve made so far.
Despite the gloomy times, I aim to find the positive and funny side of things, which I think is essential, as there’s so much negativity in the world. The aim of “Wyatt & Blu” comics is to bring a smile to your face, as we need it sometimes to get us through.
You can find more on our website and socials. Enjoy!

The doctors during this time have done so well. Thanks to all the doctors.😷
Wow….. nice. You made the doctor a man, and the nurse a woman - in a pink dress. Have you EVER seen a nurse wear a dress in the last 25 years? Thanks for reinforcing stereotypes about certain careers being gendered. Always nice to know that even in 2021, peoples’ minds automatically assign men as the physician snd women as nurses. I have to deal with this every day at my job and it is INFURIATING!! News Flash: women are doctors too!! And men are nurses. Be better, and challenge yourself yo depict this in your art work like above. - Dr. B.
Here's a little about me. I'm a Filipino-American living in Australia. I moved to Australia a couple years ago for work, and then met my wife here.
I have a corporate job as a marketing professional and do these comics on the side. I studied marketing and communications in university and didn’t think I was going to be a creative of some sort, nor was comics ever in my mind at that time. But I always did love writing and entertaining, so it eventually and surprisingly led me to comics somehow. And now I love making them.
i feel like even though i have so much time i just don't have the motivation to do anything
I have a motivation to play the romance by Beethoven on the violin before middle school
Load More Replies...As an introvert, I feel like I've been training for this pandemic all my life.
"Nerdy" is not the best word to describe introverts. Introverts aren't all bookworms or that they like studying, they just like to have more alone-times.
Load More Replies...Extroverts are weird. They actually enjoy being surrounded by people! Can you imagine that?!
People are fun, it’s nice to be with people and friends, and, well, H3LTH
Load More Replies...Pretty much. The only real impact the pandemic has had on my day to day life is that I now have to wear a mask while at work, and I wear one when I go grocery shopping. I rarely ever left home before all this started so stay at home orders and such haven't really impacted by usual routine.
So me. During the meeting the boss asked, "who misses the office?" And in my head I'm like "no I don't. I'm perfectly fine here." While the rest say they do miss the office. LOL
I, seriously, got into art around freshman year of high school. Outside of class (actually, sometimes in class), I wrote a lot. Mostly hip-hop stuff and poems. It continued into university but slowly came to a full stop. I then graduated and started working, and have always thought about writing again, but was trying to find out what that would look like. At some point, after a couple of years, I discovered webcomics, and I was like "Okay, I'm going to do this." And now, here I am.
uff i honestly dont understand why ppl just wont stop this nonsense about having the freedom to choose to stay inside, its like all rationality has left their brain
I don't get it either...Sure you have to stay home but you still have the freedom to do whatever the hell you want at home.....
Load More Replies...*Real American steps in" What you're using there isn't the real freedom, pal. Use this *points at nukes*
Or carry guns. Because guns are more effective than masks or hand sanitizer.
Load More Replies...The reason why I love making comics is that it’s a creative outlet for me, so I enjoy being able to express these ideas that I have in my head. Secondly, I enjoy the entertainment people get from them.
I get my inspiration from daily life, current affairs, and pop culture. I aim to find humor and amusement in things that I believe will be relatable or understandable at a broad scale. The ideas sometimes come out of nowhere and I write them down, or I, purposely, sit down and think of comic ideas.
no one is happier about quarantine than my cat. he has a lap to sleep in all day. he's loving it
I always wanted a dog and now during quarantine, my dad thought it was a good idea to get two new pups!!! This was surprising and adorable,
I'm 11 and I've always been scared of bigger dogs and I inherited a great piranize (idk how to spell it) so yeah he's bigger than me and my dad
Load More Replies...i have wanted a pet 4 so long we r finally on the waiting list to get 2 kittens 🥰
now that we've got through the first half, couldn't we have like an intermission or something? :)
Load More Replies...And BLM protests are bad? Underlying issue is bad, and it's been going on long before 2020, and in some way, shape or form; will keep going on.
If i see one comment about how the BLM protests and looting/shooting was a good thing i’m losing my hope in humanity
Yes. Yes it can. (Remember, there's an election coming up and we'll have to wade through the ads, the ratf**king, the Russian hacking and propaganda, the Republican hacking and propaganda and all that $#!+.)
My favorite webcomic artists are War & Peas, Poorly Drawn Lines, Mr. Lovenstein, and Sundae Kids. In addition to The Awkward Yeti and Enzo Comics, all the webcomic artists I’ve mentioned have influenced my comic writing the most. And a special mention to Jim Davis, creator of Garfield, who inspires my diligence.
Tell her "some random person on the internet told me to tell you your awesome" because I did:)
Load More Replies...I can't freaking wait to get my hair cut, my neck is so itchy it's unbearable.
Halfway through I got desperate and took clippers to my own head. I'm a mother. But dang if it didn't help to get through the hot summer last year!
well theres nothing wrong with wearing a pretty mask as long as it is safe
I got myself a collection of FFP2 masks in all the predominant colours in my wardrobe, as I like dressing in coordinated colours.
Do you wash them or do you buy new ones ever so often? Because you know, you cannot wear them indefinitely, right?
Load More Replies...Some of you might've noticed that I've changed my comic title from Wyatt & Blu to Amir Lopez. Initially, I thought my page would just be the Wyatt & Blu series, and any new comics would just get their own page. But later down the line when I started thinking of trying other comic series and one-off comics, I decided it would be better and easier to share it all from one page. So with that in mind, I changed the name of the website and social profiles to something more broad and all-encompassing - my name: Amir Lopez.
Should've said a month later. It takes years to learn to be one however during quarantine.. that changes everything when you're really that bored out of your mind
I've been asked to give some advice to those who would like to try making comics. My advice is to just do it, and, ultimately, find your voice. I understand everyone will have a different objective with their work, either to do it casually or to be commercially successful. But for either, you've got to start somewhere, and at some point, an important part is to find your unique voice.
My plans are simply to just keep doing these comics regularly and see what it grows into. I’ll likely trial a new series at some point, but I need to flesh out what that will be. Hope you're enjoying my comics! Follow me on social or my website. I plan to continue these comics regularly so if you like wholesome, funny, and quirky comics—you know where to find me!
Why do people think toilet paper is going to save them from COVID?
Mine's reversed....our fast food places were closed down for so long some of them failed completely (small town)...so now we eat healthier food.
I've eaten all except two during quarantine, half in the past week
Well actually I've been surviving solely on coffee and appley slices.
The nurses will compliment you on your haircut while they are hooking you up to the ventilator.
Fun fact: Speakeasies were underground bars in the 1920s, that formed when the government made alcohol consumption illegal. Far from serving the rule's intended use, the illegality of alcoholic substances made them more popular, and more people than ever drank.
That's exactly how I got my haircut during the lockdown. My hair guy and I go back over 30 years. He's got a family to feed, Andrew I needed my haircut even though I wasn't going anywhere.
BREAKING NEWS SOMEONE HAS A DENT IN THERE HEAD FROM A PHONE GETTING THRON OUT THE WINDOW
Then she receives the bill for the phone and the window, and she feels even worse than him.
My lockdown has been nothing like that.....it’s more of eating, halfway making through zoom, and watching Netflix.
after get ready then ask your boyfriend to go out he like "nah im good" XD
Are puzzles supposed to be difficult? How short is your attention span that you can't finish one in an hour or so?
Personally I am not a puzzle fan but it has kept my husband same over the last few months He has completed loads.
NEVER DO THIS KIDS! EVER! IF YOU DO YOU WILL GO INTO A DEEP SLEEP FOREVER AND YOU DONT WANT THAT
Trump is literally an idiot. Even Clorox, man. If he gets reelected, we're in for another 4 years of misery.
I keep saying he was our president and we had to respect that But like I sometimes forget how dumb he can be
so my mom she is now all going online shopping she has defected and is staying online shopping not going into a store again (unless to pick up the items she ordered)
XD same. they say they want me to talk more but when I do I get ignored
Load More Replies...Humerus is actually what the funny bone is called for those who didn’t know.
this isnt totalllllly fair. The term conspiracy theorists has gotten so butchered the past 2 years
Why are your l's green? llllllllllllll does it do that for anyone else? i thought i was trippin!
Load More Replies...I prefer the (invented) word "conspiranoia", when conspirations reach a paranoia level. The adjective is "conspiranoic"
Lol. Maybe it was the old "the bourgeoisie has been keeping political power and hoarding wealth to keep the working majority in poverty, submission and ignorance during all of mankind's history" theory.
Are you sure? It sounds like just another conspiracy theory. It's really funny how the comic doesn't even say any specific theory, and you got so worked up anyway. Take a chill pill. Stay skeptical. You may not be as intelligent as you want to believe. Reserve strong belief only until you have strong evidence (preferably scientific evidence).
Load More Replies...Not necessarily. I'm an introvert and I need people just like an extrovert would. Being an introvert doesn't mean I don't like people or don't want to spend time with them, it just means I need a while to recharge afterwards! It's a pretty common misconception. I'm sure there are introverts that don't like spending time around people at all, but in my experience, they aren't the majority.
Load More Replies...I’m dying during this lockdown. I’m an extrovert and I NEED people other than my family in my life
Extroverts definitely are weird people... Like, precisely the opposite of normal.
didnt one of the first cases of covid come on a boat and it spread cause they shared the air
My worst nightmare cause when having those suits on ya can’t open da bathroom door oof 😰
HOW TO GET OUT OH NO WHERE IS THE KEY! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-michael scott
Ah, you must be part of the secret society of Warm Ones. It is foretold that you have the power to stop our hands from hurting/burning/tingling, so that's why you're sought out!
Load More Replies...Yup, done it myself a lot. So glad this technology is easy now. In my childhood times, this would be science fiction lol
If sleeping were actually a sport, I would get all the first place medals in the world
I would never win at all, srsly I haven't slept in 5 days
Load More Replies...oh if staying on your computer for a long time is a sport, like an olympic event, I would have infinite medals
or maybe her husband just loves her so much he will do anything 4 her like a SIMP
Load More Replies...She doesn't want to wreck her favourite pants so she's making him do all of the work!
Load More Replies...Why do people even bother lying? Nobody is fooled. You work, you get money, that's it.
The only time i’d act like that is when I’m out of my house and my data hates me
Yeah. That's how it works. Just don't assume you need to let them use you as doormats.
seriously though, WHO is more productive at home?? Or am i too addicted to BP?
and now, we present to you... OMACRON (sorry i don't know how to spell omacron)
Don’t really want to hold that broomstick there
Load More Replies...You don't have to prove you are innocent, they have to prove you are guilty.
They did that in a way that, if you die = you were innocent. If you live, the devil saved you so now they gotta kill ya. So witch trials were pretty much a 1 way street.
Load More Replies...Dancing with anxiety... Could be both: A band or a song! Sounds catchy! 😂😂😂
