Sure we've all heard that such sugary cereals as Frosted Flakes and Cap'n Crunch aren't the best thing for kids, what with all the tooth decay and empty calories. But here's a new one that's definitely not suitable for the preteen set: Breakfast of the Gods.
No, it's not a breakfast food invented by Erich Von Daniken. It's a sugary serial. I, for one, do find the webcomic suitable for adults, at least those with a certain twisted sense of humor.

I read The Last Good Morning, the first book of this webcomic in one sitting. Not that that's any great feat, mind you, it was only 21 pages. Brendan Douglas Jones starts his epic tale off with the Honey Nut Cheerios Bee getting dragged from a dungeon in the basement of Count Chocula's castle only to be subsequently mauled to death by Frankenberry. I don't want to give away too much more of the plot so I'll just quote the text that appears when the bee's body is discovered, "In his day he shone as golden bright as the honey he hunted, but he shines no longer -- for this was the day the buzzing stopped."
The panel on the previous page shows Tony the Tiger trying convince Sugar Bear to aid in the fight against Count Chocula and his minions. Yes, I realize the humor is sick, but what really disturbs me as I wait for the other two volumes of Breakfast of the Gods to come out is how much Cap'n Crunch I'll consume while reading them. And then there's the nagging question of whether that quazy alien Quisp will fly in for a cameo. Or would that be Qameo?
