Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal (Webcomic)

Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal (commonly abbreviated as SMBC) is an episodic daily strip by Zach Weinersmith. The strip has only a few recurring characters, including God, Jesus, a fictional U.S. President, and a fictional Pope. Usually appearing in "voteys", the bonus panel beneath the comic, are the crazed, always-naked author and his long-suffering wife (and eventually, children).

Much of the strip's humor comes from setting up a situation and then subverting either the established premise or the audience's expectations, often going with a Black Comedy punchline. The cartoonist is self-described as having the abilities of Gary Larson and a sex offender.

Some of the many common kinds of stories include:

Zach also does videos under the name SMBC Theater. There's less sociopathy in them, though. (Or more, depending on your point of view.)

On March 5th, 2025, Zach announced that he was parting ways with Hiveworks in favor of self-hosting SMBC.

Compare with The Perry Bible Fellowship and the manga The Dragon, The Hero and The Courier. No relation to Chocolate-Frosted Sugar Bombs.
