P U! In our 29th issue we get down and dirty and explore the the world of scents. Young readers will find activities, comics, interviews, and so much more. How much of our world do we understand though SMELL? In this issue, we’ll take you on a sensational tour of odors, aromas, whiffs, scents, and maybe a stench or two. Inside this olfactory issue (featuring a cover by Michael D. Kennedy perfectly capturing our complicated emotional responses to smelling) you’ll find factoids about the smelliest fruit, creatures, and insects; biologist G. Eric Schaller sharing his adventures studying the world’s stinkiest bloom, the Corpse Flower; a pair of snails going on a flower-smelling binge (courtesy of Aaron Piland and Weng Pixin ); super-noses from the animal kingdom (drawn by you); and more! Enjoy new comics by Yuk Fun and Tom Bingham , Thien Pham ’s guide to creating your own food review comics, clay sculptures of unforgettable smells, fantasies of smell museums, and all the activities, interviews, recommendations, and more stories readers of Illustoria have come to know and love.
