Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal by Zach Weinersmith for May 14, 2016

I know you've been sad about your breakup, so I used ancient kabbalic magic to create a golem! Hey pal! How are you? Let's watch movies together! Neat! Wait... What's he made from? Love letters from Sally. You threw them all away, and I didn't want them going to waste. There were so many! Well, it's not all love letters. By the time we got to my hands, we were down to the recent letters where it's obvious things are unfixable, but you didn't realize it. We had to use a lot because they were so short. And my legs were built from the scrapbook you made after your trip to Paris. Wow! Is she smirking in every photo?
