'''''[http://www.smbc-comics.com/ Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal]''''' is an episodic daily strip by Zach Weiner. The strip has few, if any, recurring characters. This is a [[Webcomics Long Runners|Web Comic Long Runner]]; [[Archive Panic|the July 21, 2021 strip is number 6,000]].
 
Much of the strip's humor comes from setting up a situation and then [[Bait and Switch|subverting either the established premise or the audience's expectations]], often going with a [[Dead Baby Comedy]] punchline. The cartoonist is self-described as having the abilities of [[The Far Side|Gary Larson]] and a sex offender.
Line 8 ⟶ 9:
Zach also does [http://www.smbc-theater.com/ videos] under the name ''[[SMBC Theater]]''. There's less sociopathy in them, though. (Or more, depending on your point of view.)
 
Compare ''[[The Perry Bible Fellowship]]''. No relation to [[Chocolate-Frosted Sugar Bombs]].
