10 Amazing Comics You Can Read Entirely Through Instagram
5. Bjenny Montero Sketchbook
Forget Zootopia and Animal Crossing - for a truly heartwarming deep dive into a society of lovable animals, look no further than Bjenny Montero.
The soft-rock musician brings his psychedelic sensibilities into his cartoons, full of frogs, bears, worms, pigs, and of course, fan favourite Big Head the bird. Like Montero himself, each character is constantly on the search for good music, nice vibes, and their very own shmoopy-bops.
It's hard to describe the exact feeling that reading Bjenny Montero's work gives you. Sometimes, it's the feeling of spending an entire day curled up in bed next to your best friend. Other times, it's the feeling of being a child and waking up extra early just to eat cereal and watch Saturday morning cartoons. There is a deep sense of wonder and beauty in his gorgeous mix of inks and watercolours, even on the occasions that his subject matter veers away from what you might expect.
That's the real genius of Montero's world - he is just as likely to explore "negative" emotions such as jealousy, loneliness, and even anger, and never limits himself to just making cute, inspirational cartoons. Whether the individual strip is sweet, salty, or a fusion of the two, Bjenny Montero Sketchbook always feels 100% genuine.
