So, if you are curious to see what the Nugget is up to these days, make sure to visit their social media accounts for more! More info: Instagram | Facebook | tubbynugget.com We were wondering what initially drew the creators to the world of cartooning and artistry. Josh shared: “As far as I can remember, I’ve always loved drawing and designing characters. I remember the very first character I created was an alien named Scrappy. He had three antennae sticking out of his head. I was very proud of creating him when I was six years old.” Jenine added: “For myself, cartoons were similarly a way for me to characterize my thoughts and expressions. I found it easier to connect with myself and with people around me by associating them with some of my favorite cartoon characters – and if not those, then the ones that I would invent myself in my mind. My childhood favorite was a hat-wearing Pea named Capea. I thought he was hilarious.” “Truthfully, the way I get through my every day is by finding joy in even some of the most mundane things. I feel like that’s a big part of Tubby’s existence. Finding childlike joy and gratitude for the little things that make up our lives. For example, just thinking about how ridiculous and funny our grocery trips can get when we get carried away with our snack haul has turned into one of my favorite Tubby songs!” shared Jenine. Josh wrote: “I hope everyone knows that they are worthy of love today, no matter what. It’s a lesson I’m still learning myself.” Jenine: “I’d hope the takeaway would be that it’s okay to feel. I know that sounds vague, but sometimes, I think we feel guilty for wanting or needing love, especially when we’re at our most vulnerable. I hope that seeing Tubby regularly on their feed reminds people of the unconditional love they deserve, too.” “The book definitely carries out our mission to have Tubby exist in every format accessible to audiences. We love that his origins began on social media with the intent to stop people trapped in the all-familiar doom-scroll cycle on their phones. I’m so happy that we can have something physical and on paper now for friends and families to hold in their hands and keep on their shelves!” added Jenine. Follow Bored Panda on Google News!
