This Illustrator is Creating Hilarious Comics Inspired Entirely By Mushrooms

We’ve seen Instagram illustrators craft hilarious comics inspired by all sorts of different creatures, from aliens to dinosaurs. Just when we throughout we’d seen it all, we discovered Mushroom Movie—a hilarious series of webcomics that puts mushrooms front and center.

The Instagram page Mushroom Movies was founded by illustrator and animator Jeremy Sanchez, who attracted 200,000 million followers since embarking on this creative journey. Mushrooms are one thing that all of his comics have in common, but how did he settle on this subject matter?

 “I first drew an octopus, but there were too many limbs. So I erased some of them and it looked like a mushroom… If I had more perseverance, I’d be octopus movies,” Sanchez explained in one of his Instagram stories.

Drawing about mushrooms might’ve been a happy accident, but it definitely wasn’t a mistake. They look truly adorable and the illustrators who focus on them are really rare, making it easier for Sanchez to pave his way on social media and build an impressive following.

One of the best things about this webcomic series are the hilarious puns that will put a smile on your face. Some of the jokes are pretty quirky because they draw inspiration from fun facts about fungi that you probably didn’t know, while others simply show them in human situations.
