Punkcake Zine Issue 9 is out, and it’s a weird little world worth getting lost in. This one leans into the mix. Stories, recipes, survival tips, art, and whatever else felt right to throw in.

You’ve got another conversation with Madam Punkcake and her mom, writing that ranges from soft and reflective to straight up unsettling, and a running thread of figuring things out as we go. There’s a potato stamp printing guide if you want to make something with your hands, recipes if you want to feed yourself, and a not-so-gentle reminder of the world we’re all navigating in Surviving the Post-Viral Techno-Fascist Hellscape.

It’s balanced out with local show coverage, Worcester spots worth checking out, comics, games, and a stack of artwork from people doing their thing.

No theme to overthink. Just a bunch of people making stuff and putting it out into the world.
