Silver Sprocket is an anti-professional art crew, comic and zine publisher, record label, and "all-around raging
dumpster fire." Ehrlich told
The Comics Journal that the community-based model of the company is founded in anarchist politics: "It's very shaped by anarchist world views and specifically the Bay Area punk rock scene which was a very hippieish community of mutual aid and helping each other out and not waiting for permission from some corporation to exist." Silver Sprocket is known for publishing comics about punk culture, mental illness, queer lives, and people of color. In 2021, Ari Yarwood was hired as Silver Sprocket's first managing editor. In early 2025, financial burdens became unmanagable, leading to the somewhat sudden layoff of three employees as well as friction on social media. == Musicians ==
