BOINK is an independent comic book and humor zine publisher in the Philadelphia area. Our goal is to use words and art to tell exciting, original, meaningful stories. We love print -- there's no BOINK without ink -- and we appreciate that "comic" means funny.

​​

OUR TITLES

​​

CEREAL is a six-episode comic series, a thriller set in the breakfast cereal industry. CHUNKS OF TOMORROW is our anthology of short speculative stories. MEANWHILE is our pioneering print-only humor zine launched in 1991 and revived in 2018. BRANDAGRAMS is a unique new puzzle game. And check out PIECES of HUMOR, where we post new stuff and greatest hits for digital readers. BOINK uses no AI art or writing in our comic books.
