Save Yourself, Mammal!: A Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal Collection by Zach Weinersmith

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


I’m not going to waste time looking it up, but I believe this was SMBC’s first collection. So Weinersmith (or whoever didn’t the formatting) hadn’t figured out the formatting. In order to save space, the comics are all over the place instead of one per page. This isn’t horrible, but it does mean there’s a little extra time to think about each page and see whether this is one large comic (as is sometimes the case) or a bunch of smaller ones.

It’s also the first 10 years of the comic, so there’s some overlap with both of the later, themed collections (Science: Ruining…. and Religion: Ruining…). I’d recommend either of those collections over this one since this one isn’t formatted as well and since it’s random you’d be better off just reading from the website.
