Whether it’s the fine print of a marriage proposal turned breakup or the bigger extrapolations to God’s judgment of the “good boy,” Lorman takes her followers on a fun and often cathartic journey through the absurd logic of entitlement. The premise is simple, but Lorman dives deep into the nuances of what we expect praise for and why. The awards became wildly popular on Instagram, and are now part of a book by the same name. Lorman created the drawings long before she decided to share them with an audience, and when she finally started her Instagram account in 2017, she had an ample supply. “I had this burning desire to create literal awards to pin to men who demanded praise for not even doing the bare minimum, but a bare minimum we’re all scammed into believing is worthy,” she explains. Elliot also shares her work on Twitter and releases exclusive artwork monthly with her paid subscribers on Patreon.Ī post shared by awards for good boys on at 9:38am PDTĪwards for Good Boys was born when Shelby Lorman was struck with a sudden urge to give praise-seeking men exactly what they were asking for. The punch line is often that the trick is quite ordinary. You can practically hear her yelling at you through your phone to keep watching her because she’s about to do a spectacular trick. Whether she’s shouting in a museum because she needs you to see the art she loves right this instant, spiraling because she’s unsure if she’s funny or good, or simply trying to figure how to sit down the right amount, Elliot’s humor is charmingly frantic. The heightened version of herself featured in her comics is by turns attention-seeking, panicky, and enthusiastic. “You know when you took drawings home from school and said, ‘MUM, LOOK! A HORSE!’? I never grew out of that,” Elliot tells Vulture. Her mostly black-and-white drawings consist of frenetic lines and hilarious outbursts. Scrolling through Ruby Elliot’s Instagram feed can feel dizzying. Whatever your taste, sweet or sour, one of these accounts is sure to make you laugh.

Michelle Rial creates dazzling and insightful infographics, while Bjenny Montero takes his followers on psychedelic trips that land somewhere cozy and soft. So, we’ve rounded up nine of the funniest, most original illustrators and cartoonists Instagram has to offer. In the wake of #FuckFuckJerry, if you’re looking for new funny accounts to add to your feed, you may be unsure of where to start. Countless illustrators and cartoonists are sharing their work on the platform, and instead of recycling outdated memes, they’re crafting content that’s funny, fresh, and unique. But Instagram has also become a place where original content flourishes. It’s no secret that some of the most-followed comedic accounts, like FuckJerry and the Fat Jewish, gained their massive followings by lifting jokes from comedians and artists without asking for permission, crediting, or paying the original creators.
