Who knew a ghost could bring so much comfort to your timeline? Sad Ghost voices out its fears of not being enough, overthinking, and being super scared of change. Sound familiar? Eventually, Sad Ghost realizes a few things: he appreciates how far he has come, he sees the benefits of giving oneself a break, and he is loving progress in life no matter how slow.

Shitty Watercolour

Despite its name, Shitty Watercolour is anything but that, and it’s is also one of the most therapeutic online comics out there. It’s full of comfort and affirmation that yes, you might be having a hard time in this life, but you are never alone. Every now and then it might feel as if the artist took a peek at our diaries but that’s how you know there are others who feel the same as you and who need to hear the same words you do.

Wawawiwa Comics

From clouds, dinosaurs, trees, sharks, and even your regular shaver, Andrés J. Colmenares’ Wawawiwa Comics can find ways to brighten your day. It’s full of adorable scenarios coupled with loveable cartoons and great reminders to boot. Wawawiwa Comics lets you appreciate even the littlest things in life.

Chuck Draws Things

Chuck’s cartoon pigeons get you on a mental level. The hundreds of comics will make you question how the cartoonist could possibly know what you’re thinking. But all the same, it’s nice to be reminded that we all have our bad days where we fall in “depression pits” and days when we spend hours overthinking. Each comic also ends with a hopeful note that somewhat reminds you how to navigate this life.

Tea Bag

Tea Bag is here to cheer you up at the end of a long and stressful day. This Instagram account does not only post cute and encouraging art, the artists also make sure to sprinkle little reminders here and there. Stay hydrated, wear your mask, take breaks from social media, and take care of yourself better.

Strange Planet

Nathan Pyle’s hit comics Strange Planet feature little bug-eyed blue-skinned aliens who use a creative way to describe the world around them. They refer to sunburns as “star damage,” names as “syllable sequence,” bowls as “concave dish for sustenance.” Pyle shines a new light on everyday situations. NGL, we spent a good 30 minutes reading comic after comic in this one.

Niall Breen

The charm in Niall Breen’s black-and-white comics is the beautiful words paired with the simple drawings. Readers peek into the thoughts of the recurring animal characters Bear, Frog, and Dog who experience all sorts of scenarios. The comics capture the thoughts of someone who is filled with anxiety but is learning to get better each day. Each post is an encouragement to keep going. Breen’s comics are so soothing and comforting, you might find you’re shedding a tear or two.

Janjan Comics

What happens if you keep bottling your feelings? It will follow you around like a slimy dark cloud that will only go away if you process it properly. This is part of a recent series by Janjan Comics where artist Juris Go draws simple scenarios with weighty ideas. His art also delves into issues the country is facing such as that random ostrich that escaped in Quezon City, the need for mangroves instead of white sand, and the plight of our health workers.
