40 Of The Latest Comics That Capture The Whole Spectrum Of Modern Life Experiences Of Blobby And Friends
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.

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."
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.
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).
👏 If someone ever comes up to you and they are panicking like this, YOU COULD SAVE THEIR LIFE BY ACTING LIKE THEIR FRIEND!!!
@Michael Carlson - It is unfortunate, but we've been conditioned to react this way because of so many men's ulterior motives. I know some mean well, but it's hard not to be cautious, worried, and fearful in these situations, especially for women like me who have experienced trauma that started off as compliments.

Yrah no matter if its male female or family im always that second panel
It’s true I’ve told girls they look good and there like I have a boyfriend and I’m like bruh dose it look like I want to be your boyfriend
Unfortunately, we don't know that by looking at you. 99.5% of those comments are by men who are hitting on us, potentially not taking no for an answer, so we have to be overly cautious. It sucks, for all of us.

Personally I think it's down to tone. In my neighborhood I get a lot of this from guys. About 2/3 are really lovely, just literally paying me a compliment in a friendly non-creepy way. The other 1/3 are the creeps that are "expecting" something in return for saying something nice, who creep me out immediately. I don't tar every man with the same brush.
They forgot the part when the guy asks you out and you decline so he calls you a slew of bad names smh
As a trans man who works retail and likes to give compliments, people usually give a reaction about halfway between these
Im not the type to flirt with women if they’re uncomfortable with it. I do compliment them like that, and it makes me sad that they seem uncomfortable with it. But, women are genuinely beautiful and amazing. You go girls.
Next thing shell be packing her bags and catching a greyhound bus to los angeles to break into the movie industry. L.A. just got a new waitress.
For all the creepy weirdos who've made in awkward for a male to compliment a female just to be nice.
It really doesn't mean as much from a guy as it does from a girl/woman!
yeah like that florida man who killed his friend for not saying no homo after they made out
i strive to be like that one day, but now i have noodles for arms. tough ones but noodles nonetheless
Fair play re the a r s e thing though. One minute 'does this make my bum look big' and now the kardashians and co and their created mega a r s e s - truly don't get that.
Never ever talk about your skin being clear. It hears you and will always break out. Been my personal experience every single time. Sigh.
I was getting clothes from my cousins so they were all branded, but my parents still had to chose between paying bills and buying food.

Gasp, you do know that people who are LGBTQIA+ are allowed to create comics and have comics made about them and their experiences? Is it that hard to fathom?
