10 Amazing Comics You Can Read Entirely Through Instagram
4. Webcomic Name
The aptly titled Webcomic Name is an experiment in storytelling that really shouldn't work, but somehow does.
The premise is simple: over three panels, a cast of monochrome blobs explore different aspects of life, love, society, art, and more. The only rule is that every single strip has to end with one of the blobs saying "oh no." Sounds like something that would get old fast, right?
Wrong! Very, very wrong.
After three years and hundreds of strips, Alex Norris is somehow still managing to make each new "oh no" feel fresh, funny, and unexpected.
Paired with the iconic artwork, Webcomic Name goes above and beyond the standard of the usual "hashtag relatable" viral Instagram comic. For one thing, Norris is not afraid to approach controversial subjects, masterfully boiling them down to three panels. Somehow, he can say more in a short webcomic than most master debaters could articulate in a five-part argument.
He also draws a cat like nobody else, and we love it.
