Aminals can sometimes be the very best form of therapy. 

Artist Hector Janse van Rensburg has brought attention to mental health in a beautiful form of watercolor comics. The Instagram account is called, @swatercolour, a mix of the words sh*tty + watercolor. Truth be told, these lovely comics are very far from being sh*tty.

In talks with a very wise cat, who offers mental health advice, these illustrations are thought-provoking and very wholesome. We could all use a dose of Hector's 'Swatercolor' any day of the week. 

You can find these wholesome comics on Twitter, as well!
