This wonderful parent draws rock stars on lunch bags every day

by Mark Teo

Because we were nasty little ingrates, we never appreciated the lunches our parents packed for us. Sure, I might’ve gotten Chinese baos for lunch every day—the type of thing that’s now lusted after by Momofuku acolytes—but back then? I couldn’t give less of a shit. Why? Because I was very, very stupid.

Fact is, our parents were saints for getting up early and prepping us lunches—but some are more saintly than others. Take, for example, one parent, who’s taken to adorning their kid’s paper-bag lunches with incredible marker drawings of their favourite musicians. And even better? There’s a few grade-A puns in the mix, too (Joe Strummer fans will surely appreciate “Lunchtime Calling”).

She’s been posting her creations on Instagram, and even better yet—the artist takes requests. We’ve posted our favourites above; check the rest of the lunch bags here.

Coolest parent ever? We think so.
