Button List
The
first eight buttons produced by
Kitchen Sink "Enterprises"
and Denis Kitchen (in
1973) were individually numbered
in small circles on the
respective images. Most of these
were made for promotional
purposes. In 1975 a company
"division" was created called Pinback
Jack, to create buttons
for sale to collectors. The
first such set was the 52
(ultimately 54) Famous
Cartoonist Series of
self-portraits. Each of these
was numbered prominently in
alphabetical order (except for
the two stragglers). The numbers
on these buttons understandably
became the official "order
numbers," even though eight
buttons had preceded this set
chronologically. The earlier 8
buttons were designated 1-A,
2-A, 3-A etc. in various Krupp
and Kitchen Sink catalogs.
Most
buttons following the Famous
Cartoonist Series sequence
are individually numbered
somewhere within the image or on
the rim. The last button thus
numbered is #156. Three
promotional buttons for a comic
series called Denizens of
Deep City were produced
following button #133 but were
somehow not included initially
in the internal system. Thus
these three are thus known as
133-A, 133-B and 133-C.
Similarly two "Freak Brothers
Munchie Bars" variants (#204-A
and #207-A) were not officially
counted. There were 214
officially numbered buttons in
the cataloged sequence when
Kitchen Sink Press folded in
early 1999. But in actuality
there were 227 produced
(214 in official sequence + the
8 earliest buttons + 3 Denizens
buttons out of sequence + the
two Freak Brothers variants).
When
Denis Kitchen formed his new
small press and art and literary
agencies in 1999, he continued
making promotional buttons for
various properties and projects.
He continued the numbering
system established earlier, but
he started with No. 228
to finally get the overall
sequence correct. This also
explains why there are no
buttons officially numbered 215
through 227. We hope this
background makes the logic and
chronology easier for you to
understand.

Buttons: 1989-98
After
1984, KSP stopped
producing buttons
that were primarily
intended for sale to
collectors. After a
4-year hiatus,
buttons produced
beginning in 1989
were of a
promotional nature.
They were generally
given away to
distributors, to
retailers and at
comic book
conventions, or
offered free to
catalog customers
who ordered certain
products. After
1988, virtually all
giveaways were the
smaller 1.25"
diameter size
(#158-161 are
exceptions).

Buttons produced by
Denis Kitchen
Publishing &
Denis Kitchen Art
Agency.
(All 1.25" diam.):
2001-current
The
numbering below
reflects the fact that
at total of 227
buttons were produced
earlier. This corrects
the 14 digit
discrepancy in the
"chronological"
catalog numbering
which originally
factored neither the
first eight buttons
produced nor three
later designs (133-A,
133-B and 133-C, 204-A
and 207-A). It is
impossible to correct
the numbering back to
the beginning because
actual series numbers
are incorporated into
the design of most
buttons from No. 1
through 156. From
#228---on the numbers
reflect the true
chronology.
