One of the most beautiful things in life is friendship. A buddy is something that everyone deserves and even need. Especially if that friend is Blobby the Blob Fish, who is “the magical best friend you always imagined you had,” as one of the authors described it.
Friendship provides a safe haven from the negative things that happen in our life on a regular basis. There’s plenty of unjust stuff going on, from small disappointments to injustice, and it’s crucial that someone shares it, especially if it’s done among friends in a safe environment. Blobby & Friends, a comic that expertly weaves these two elements together, has such a welcoming environment, and social issues are constantly brought up in the friend circle.

I’m not sure about you, but have you noticed how detailed the visual style is, how well-drawn and fleshed-out the graphics and characters are? Well, an entire team is behind each and every comic, and the output and quality of each individual panel and the comic strip as a whole reflects this collective teamwork. In a sense, their aggregate hours of hard effort have paid off, and they now have over half a million Instagram followers, which is a significant number by any metric.And the fact that this process has gone so smoothly is fantastic! “To be honest, we weren’t expecting things to turn out the way they did, and I’m overjoyed and grateful to our fans.”

Blobby is the glue (or blob) that keeps the team together, but there are a few more characters worth mentioning. “Lily, their human friend (and I really identify to her character for some reason), Ashley, Lily’s crush, and Charlie / Punk Kid, who can come across as threatening but is really the most tender and pure character we’ve ever come up with, are all characters who appear in the comics. That’s why Charlie is modelling our underpants,” Zack replied, laughing.
