This week we have a husband and wife who chronicle their daily life via cartoons
TIPPY (31) and Anthony Go (32), the husband-and-wife team behind Tipsy (@googlygooeys) and Ponggo (@ponggo_googlygooeys) of the Googly Gooeys. Tippy is a business development manager by day, and a cartoonist and graphic designer by night. Anthony is a businessman and photographer.

What you’ll see on their feed: lages manually!
Tipsy: A mix of comics, current commissions, travel photos and some let’s-pretend-I’m-aprop-stylist personal projects.
Ponggo: A mix of our travels, food and whatever’s interesting. Favorite Instagram subjects: Tipsy: Stuff that I can play with and shoot—mostly colorful paper and stuff I can find around the house.
Ponggo: Outdoor scenery.
Ponggo: Snapseed hance photos.
Instagram video—yes or no?
Tipsy: I have only uploaded one video so far and I like the idea of it. I wish there was some sort of remote trigger to reduce the shaking. I’m not gifted with steady hands.
Ponggo: Yes! It makes it a bit more fun and challenging. Instagram pet peeves? Tipsy: Adulterated hashtags. Check out #food and #architecture where there are more photos of people than dishes and buildings—a true testament that this is, indeed, the selfie generation!
Ponggo: People who simply flip images to create a new entry or those who photograph the same thing x number of times and moving only a few steps to change the perspective. Also people who post pictures that they edited but the photos were from someone else!
