Bug Boys: Outside and Beyond

In Bug Boys: Outside and Beyond (2021–present, Penguin Random House), the beloved insect duo from the Bug Boys series ventures into uncharted territory, exploring the wonders and perils of the world beyond their familiar meadow. Written and illustrated by Laura Knetzger, this single-issue adventure deepens the series' signature blend of gentle humor and heartfelt friendship, while expanding its whimsical naturalist world. A warm, thoughtful entry that showcases Knetzger’s knack for tender storytelling and expressive art, it matters as a bridge between the earlier collected stories and whatever bug-sized epics lie ahead.
