Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal by Zach Weinersmith for September 01, 2023

It’s hard to write limericks in the Znargh language. So few words rhyme with Xq3i%wz.

There was an old man from Peru whose lim’ricks all looked like Haiku. He

Said with a laugh "I cut them in half. The pay is much better for two.

(Emmett O’ Brian)

“Are you joking me?”

There was a ‘toon a few years back when tRump was ’in charge’ and the aliens were taken to the Oval Office and turned to the general next to them and said ‘You have to be joking’.

Dirty ones!

Introduce them to Philipp Goedicke, of Chicago, IL.

I’ve written a limerick for each of the first 80 elements in the periodic table. When I finish, I’ll look into publication options.

There was a young Vulcan from VenusWho was blessed with an enormous…

Was this strip cancelled? It’s been two weeks without an update.

I miss reading SMBC on Gocomics!!

Would you settle for 50,000 haikus?

Updates have stopped?

Episode 272

His official website continues to update. I don’t know what’s wrong with GoComics.

Would you settle for haiku ?

Vacation, I hope

Another Candorville?

Has SMBC been dropped?

Are they trying for a record for “longest run of not updating a comic”?

I have it on good authority that the bean-counters at GoComics are coming up with some diabolical scheme to increase revenue on certain features.
