Scoff Zine

Scoff explores our fixation with food—its abundance, its temptations and its culture.

Food is both essential and sensual. It’s personal and universal.

Proving this, Scoff includes submissions from all over the globe: Australia, Italy,

Germany, USA, New Zealand, Colombia and the United Kingdom.

Scoff Zine is the food-baby of four writers from Melbourne, Australia. Our first foray

into comics, we’ve loved dipping our fingers in and tasting global zine culture. We hope you’re able to savour the illustrations and stories with the same relish we felt putting it all together.

Let the feasting begin…

The last bite...Thank you to all the talented artists who participated

in this project and for everyone who took the time to submit their work. Without your enthusiasm and creativity this zine would not exist!

Special thanks to Miles Watt for designing the submission flyers.

And a huge thank you to Jake Lawrence for the cover designs, for being our go-to guy for all things

comic and for generally being awesome.

Cheers guys!
