For many artists with a sense of humor, comics are a no-brainer when it comes to visually expressing their ideas and feelings. Taking the form of sequential images with overlaid captions and speech bubbles, the narrative art form first became popular in America and Japan during the mid-20th century. Though comic illustrations were traditionally printed in comic books, graphic novels, and the “funnies” section in newspapers, today many artists are publishing their own webcomics online using popular platforms such as Instagram and Tumblr.
While some artists illustrate daily visual diaries full of hilariously relatable scenarios, others use webcomics to create narratives where real and make-believe creatures vent their grievances about the world, or just spread good vibes. No matter their style, there’s sure to be a webcomic for everyone to identify with and enjoy.
Even if you think you’re not much of a comics person, you’d be surprised by how a webcomic can be a tiny dose of joy to your day, uplifting you and commiserating through humor. Scroll down to take a look at some of these talented artists, gifted wordsmiths, and wonderfully witty comics.
