5ish comics, shared on Instagram via @5ish.art, are delightful four‑panel strips that capture the humor, warmth, and occasional chaos of everyday life. Creatively honest and unabashedly relatable, these comics capture the moments that matter most—love, family, creativity, and the little absurdities that lie in between.
The person behind 5ish comics is J. Findlay, a full‑time freelance illustrator, wife, and mom who transforms life’s everyday snippets into charming, lightly spicy comic moments. She portrays her experiences with candor and wit, often drawing from gentle domestic scenes and the loving banter between herself and her husband.
J. Findlay launched her Instagram account years ago as a space to share art, but it was the comics—personal, witty, and concise—that struck a chord. Balancing motherhood, marriage, and freelance deadlines, she turned daily happenstances into “snack‑sized comics” she describes as love letters to her journey. Today, with over 62K followers, her four‑panel anecdotes have become a motivational outlet and shared experience for many.
5ish comics resonate because they balance humor, love, and authenticity. With simple artwork and punchy narratives, J. Findlay crafts moments that feel deeply personal yet universally relatable. Her comics remind us that life’s seemingly small, daily details often hold the greatest joy—and the most genuine laughs. Follow @5ish.art to enjoy her charming snapshots of motherhood, marriage, art, and the beautiful absurdity of everyday existence.
