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 that are worth our readers' time. We love print -- there's no BOINK without ink -- and we know "comic" means funny. BOINK uses no AI art or writing in our comic books.

​
