Friendship is one of the most beautiful things in life. Everybody deserves and even needs a friend. Especially if that friend is like Blobby the Blob Fish, who, as one of the creators has put it, is "the magical best friend you always wished you had".

Friends provide a comfortable oasis for all of the bad things that constantly happen in our lives. From little disappointments right down to injustice, there's plenty of unjust stuff going on, and it's important that somebody should share it, especially if it's done between friends, in a safe environment. There is such a hospitable environment, and there are social issues being constantly brought up in the friend circle of Blobby & Friends, a comic that masterfully ties these two things together.

More info: Instagram | Facebook

Don't know about you, but didn't you notice how detailed the visual style is, how well-drawn and fleshed out the graphics and the characters are? Well, a whole team is working behind each and every comic, and this collective collaboration really shows, considering the output and the quality of each individual panel and the comic strip in general. In a sense, these collective hours of hard work have paid off, and they bask in the glory of over half a million followers on Instagram, which is A LOT by any standards. And the fact that this project has worked so well is really awesome! "To be honest, we didn't expect things to go the way they did and I am full of love and gratitude towards our audience."

RELATED:

    As you noticed, Blobby is the glue (or the blob) that holds the team together, but other characters also deserve to be mentioned. "[Other folks] who appear in the comics are Lily, their human friend (and I really relate to her character a lot, I'm not sure why), Ashley, who is Lily's crush, and Charlie / Punk Kid who can come off as intimidating but is really the most soft and wholesome character we've ever come up with. That's why Charlie is modeling our underwear," Zack said, laughing.

    In the previous post, Zack, one of the authors of the comic, has given an interview explaining the mysterious circumstances of the comic's origin and how they're doing as of right now. "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 explained. "Listening to the reactions from our followers also made a huge difference for us. I can speak only for myself but I really feel like I’ve personally grown with this world we've created."

    Blobby and friends have blessed us with their wholesome presence here at Bored Panda before, and if you're hooked and want to see more of this comic goodness, check it out here. If you want to take a detour from these comics and jump on to the next one, here's something that we've recently posted. Perhaps you want to educate yourself more about certain life struggles from a feminist perspective; if so, we have just the thing to offer, namely Promptly Paneled comics. And while some people struggle in life due to systemic injustice, some people that inspired this comic just struggle at life in general. And here's an awkward and out-of-the-blue suggestion: take a look at these comics that explore the same awkwardness that this sentence just caused.

    people need to know the difference between love and abuse. People around the relationship need to spot those details too. If you see someone being abuse, speak up. If everybody thinks about saying something, nobody ever will.💘

    On one hand - stopping answering Texts is far from worse one can do. On the ogher hand - using this as "punishment" is still emotional abuse. So those don't sound like healthy relationship. Ditch this a*****e.

    Oh good, this remembered what my step father said to me (Even thougth I basically grow up with him, I don't call him dad) . I was alone at home with my dog, she wanted to play, so I take her for a stroll INSIDE the building I live in, I didn't even go outside. Then when my mom and step father arrived from their jobs I Tell them about it, and my step father scolded me saying "Why you go outside the house? you need to get permision to get outside, we expect you inside home!" I couldn't belive his reaction! (Btw I'm woman) But at least my mom said, don't worry you didn't do anything bad, don't listen to him, he's crazy.

    If I had a friend considering an abortion, I would certainly ask if there was a way I could support them in actually having the child, but I don't think it is up to the law to decide if we ultimately can or cant have medical procedures any more than I think it is up to the law to tell me what or how to believe or what to have faith in. And, uh, I also think the followers of a god who spontaneously aborts a double digit percent of pregnancies and periodically allows mothers to die during birth don't really have the standing to tell people what they kind of medical treatment to receive. But hey, I guess government rights usurp personal rights for conservatives if it's what someone told them.

    Maybe he just can't f*****g answer her texts cuz he's *busy*, so she assumes he just got mad and won't *text* her, maybe she believes she needs his permission but she *doesn't*. Y'all are just bunch of gossiping bitches, I've had wayyyyy to many girls leave me cuz they thought I was ignoring them.

    Wow. Maybe they don't leave you because your ignoring them. Maybe they leave because your a f***ing bad person. Calling some women a b**** because she left you definitely makes it so they won't leave you. Plus you didn't even read everything that she said. She said "He got really annoyed".

    My mum never let me have my hair cut how I want it. I always had to push the boundaries and ended up getting 20's bob haircuts. One time mum wasn't paying much attention and I got it cut how I liked. Now it's stuck how I like it because I can't grow it out without getting a mullet (mum hates mullets so it's gotta be short).
