Have you ever wanted to live the dream with your friend? If so, Sarah and Tara's Girls Have a Blog that will be the perfect WEBTOON for you!


Summary


Call destiny or coincidence, but former college students Sarah Bollinger and Tara Kurtzhals have decided to take the world by storm by trying to make their comic studio! The only problem is really what to write!?


Characters


Tara: Our one half of a whole. Tara is usually the most conscious and wary of the 2. She suffers a lot from anxiety and self-doubt despite her outspoken nature, making her the hardest worker of the 2.


Sarah: Tara's other half, Sarah, is the more calm and rational one. She is relatively more outgoing and low maintenance than Tara.


Overview


Once again, this is a slice of life and comedy, so I don't have the most to say, but I'll try to spice things up. First, it's refreshing to have one of these duo comics feature best friends. Nothing against couples, just saying it's vital to see two friends live and try to tackle life together, similar to Waffles and Pancakes.

 Girls Have a Blog features a style replicating Saturday morning comics with light red overtone mixed with deep blacks. We can often get some particularly memorable faces with stretched-out features, black eyes, and curved proportions.


The best description I have on the series is honestly that it feels comfy. From the characters to the low-energy stories, this webtoon does feel like the adventures of 2 relatable characters trying to live their lives. This means we can create a lot of down-to-earth chapters. It's honestly really comforting to have two adults be just as clueless as we are in life. It also doesn't hurt; we get to see them loop their friends into the fun as well. 


Effectively this series has one message that I feel like we all need. You're doing okay, even when you think you're not some days. And I hope I can do a lot better to embody that message because no one knows your worth better than you.


Epilogue


Overall, Girls Have a Blog is a bit of a throwback, but I think it's a fitting way to end Women's History Month. It's a webtoon I'm glad I turned back to, and I hope I can bring in more webtoons into the light as we keep going into 100. Who knows, maybe their other project, Knight and Beard, might appear next?
