If your comic book knowledge doesn't go beyond Chris Pratt's newly defined abs in Guardians of the Galaxy don't worry. We're here to help. With styles ranging from hilariously absurd to beautiful watercolor panels, here's 10 of our favorite illustrators that will turn your Tumblr feed into the perfect comic strip.

1. Simon Hanselmann

They're both huge stoners. Hanselmann's comics can get dark and existential but he's definitely got a wonderfully weird sense of humor. Like, check out this Drake owl.


2. Ellie Andrews

Ellie Andrews blends her classic style of hand-drawn comics with clean lines and geometric shapes. We love the t-shirts that she designed for ASOS and are big fans off her attention to (butt) detail.


3. Will Laren

4. Ben Marcus

5. Aidan Koch

Aidan Koch's comics are minimal watercolor landscapes and abstract vignettes. But even without a narrative, it's easy to get lost in the worlds that Koch creates.


6. Nicole Genelli

7. Laura Callaghan

If they weren't just illustrations, you would want to be BFFs with them. Callaghan's latest comic, First Date -- that recounts the hilarious horrors of online dating -- is a must read.
 

8. HTML Flowers

Grant Gronewold, aka HTML Flowers, has such a great acid-trip, sketch book style. His Tumblr serves as an invitation into his secret world full of magic and flowers.


9. Sarah McNeil

Ginette Lapalme's Tumblr is a colorful and crafty haven. In Lapalme's world, everything is small, cute, and has eyes. We'd love to live there permanently.
