Knapsack Magazine, Volume 2: Butter

Knapsack Magazine #2

by Amanda Castillo, Angie Hewitt, Anson Lin

The second installment of comics and illustration anthology KNAPSACK MAGAZINE from Lucky Pocket Press, featuring over 230 pages of comics, illustration, and words from over 28 different artists!

This volume's theme word is: BUTTER

Recipes, late night snacks, kitchen appliances, savory & sweet, a baker’s dozen, gingham picnic blankets, measuring cups, kids meal toys, mugs with funny mascots on them, vintage soda labels, a golden spoon, fruits and vegetables, vending machines, farmers markets, easy bake ovens… We asked our artists to follow the theme as closely or as loosely as they'd like.
