These Webcomics are the Relatable Content You’ve Been Looking For

The first comics to be shared online were created in the mid-1980s, but by the year 2000, this genre exploded, becoming more artistically recognized. With the rise of social media platforms, specifically Instagram, this storytelling format doesn’t seem to be going anywhere soon. More than being just funny, our favorite comics are the ones we can relate to. Here are some illustrators on Instagram you’d want to follow.

Stephanie Davidson

Born in Hong Kong, raised in Tokyo/Honolulu and now living in Brooklyn, NYC, Stephanie Davidson’s illustrations and webcomics rely on and draw inspiration from her mixed background. Her artistic voice is somber and somewhat reflective. Sometimes consisting of one panel only, her webcomics aren’t aimed at children but rather at ironic, self-conscious adults like ourselves.

Gemma Correll

When it comes to webcomics, Gemma Correll is somewhat a celebrity. The cartoonist, writer, and illustrator, loves incorporating her pet pug into her child-like illustrations. “I love the personalities of animals,” she told Creative Boom. “They are so varied. Pugs, in particular, are such characters; they are very silly and funny. I like imagining what animals might say if they could talk.”

Fran Meneses

Fran Meneses’ webcomic is the meaning of relatable. Colored in pastel colors, Meneses translates the mundanities of everyday life to funny punches. Aside from her webcomics, she also works on a graphic novel with her husband and runs a YouTube channel.
