Wacky Buttons Lovers, welcome!
This is a website dedicated to pinback buttons but more specifically, wacky buttons. The past few years a pantheon of DIY creators have flooded the market with original pinback button designs. Buttons and pins have been an important aspect of American Culture for a long time but just recently we seem to have entered the golden age of pinback buttons.
Now with so many avante garde button and pin producers out there it's easy to classify these pinback buttons into different categories. Now I'm going to be honest with you. I don't have a whole team working on the website. It's only me. That's why I chose to pick one category of pinback buttons and talk about that. It's better to do one thing well then many different things poorly.
So without further ado here are some of our favorite wacky buttons along with the people who make them and information on where you can buy them.

The Cow Pig
The cow pig is our first wacky button. I'm not sure where this idea came from. If I had to guess I'd say it was from a children's book. I actually read this book as a child.
The Cow Pig Button is a funny reference to good memories if you've read the book as well. But it also transcends the book. There is something intrinsically funny about a Cow Pig saying Moink that connects with people regardless of whether they have read the book.
Bonus points to the button makers for the cutesy illustration.

Lunch Ladies Need Love Too
Lunch Ladies Need Love Too is our second wacky button. I'm ambivalent about the illustration on this button. It's creepy, which helps to drive home the punch line, but I don't like wearing creepy buttons.

The Cheese Button
Because cheese. That's why. Insert relevant Cheesus Christ comment here. But seriously, we don't know. It's just cheese.

Mullet Festival 2010
Mullets are awesome. But wacky buttons that promote mullets are, er, awesomer? If this mullet festival has been going on, at least, since 2010, then I feel left out. Screw this. Sign me up for mullet-fest 2015!

Dinosaurs Are Disrespectful
They fucking are, right? How's that t-rex gonna raise his hand, it's barely there. This wacky button rocks because it's funny and I have no idea what the Japanese text on the bottom says. Probably something like 'hey gurl u wan sum fuk'?

Crazy Cat Lady
Don't we all have that secret fear that if we can't keep a man we're going to become the crazy cat lady? Well it's time to embrace it girls. Love the illustration. I'd wear it.

Cute Giraffe
This is the cutest fake giraffe I've ever seen. Whoever drew this has a serious sense of style when it comes to wacky giraffes. Anyone could wear this and look cute.

Cat Hair Is The New Black
This button is great if you've found yourself becoming the cat lady. Or maybe your SO likes cats and you have to put up with it. You could even use it.
