Table of Contents · Read Reviews Write a Review Wow, it's been quite a journey from a toss-off joke some 22 years ago to the completed thing before you but I can honestly say it was all worth it. And I have many people to thank as well as a couple of announcements to get out of the way. For the impatient and those unlikely to keep reading, let me get this one out of the way: SIGN UP FOR THE BOTG MAILING LIST! (I promise you there will be updates!) breakfastofthegods@hotmail.com Ahem. Now then, I of course would like to thank my family, friends, coworkers and band mates* who put up with my blathering about all things breakfasty for the last three years plus. Your support meant everything, as did your humoring, glassy stares. Special thanks also go to my friend Kym Calise for taking the photos of my ugly mug and Candice Sanders for supplying her nook. I would like to thank Joey Manley and the good folks here at Webcomics Nation for tending a great oasis of creativity and expression. I'm honored to have been a part of the community here. Now that BOTG is done being an updating entity, it's probably time to move on and let somebody else have the space. And so... Starting March 1^st, the new (and only) home of BOTG will be www.breakfastofthegods.com ! Mark your calendars and update your bookmarks! Obviously my greatest thanks goes to you, the readers, who have kept me at it with wonderful comments, emails, contributions, outside reviews and generous linking across the web. Without your staggering show of support and word of mouth p.r., BOTG would have probably puttered out long before the end. Lastly, let me express my enormous gratitude to those corporations whose characters I borrowed for this epic of Cerealia. Thank you for decades of fantastic products and thank you, even more, for ignoring me altogether. The future of BOTG? Well, the story has been told, but there may be a surprise or two still to come, so get on my mailing list and you'll be the first to know. And now, to borrow a line from my pal Boo Berry, “See ya on the other side of the aisle, suckers!” *Yes, that's right. We're called Capraesque and I think we're pretty awesome. Wanna hear me sing?

Andrew Foose (stinkoman87) says: Thank you for the wonderful comic.

Josh Shepherd (bergerjacques) says:

All those bodies, all that violence, and a dark spot? And you put that nasty little Cheerio in YOUR MOUTH?! Gross.

Standing "O".

Marrock Volsung (marrockv) says: Come on now, who ever stops at just one bowl...?

Al Newman (snorkelwacker) says:

Of course he put it in his mouth.

It tastes GREAT!

Ed Gedeon (eddurd) says:

Some cerealized story. No - no taste to compare it to. Cookery! They should have sent a cook. So delicious ... so delicious ... I had no idea ...

Brendan, thank you for a great comic. Concept, writing, and art, all superb.

Sean Martin (martino13) says: Congrats on the epic trilogy! Here's hoping there might be another bowl left in the box!

Kevin Conod (kdconod) says: Amazing! Though, I think the ending was a little disappointing because of King Vitamin's odd comment to Alfie. We are kind of left hanging!

duane korol (sdklocke) says: very Stanely Kubrick of you to end your fable in this way.

So It Begins (soitbegins) says: Oh. My. God.

That end was... perfect.

Dave Stephenson (treker) says: That was a wonderful conclusion to this magnificent cereal serial.

Thank you, Brendan.

Rachel Floyd (dorcasmolorcas) says: Brendan Jones=Booyah! Yeah, that's right. I simplified your life down to a mathematical equation. The equal sign makes it mathematical by the way.

Rachel Floyd (dorcasmolorcas) says: P.S. The end reminds me a little of "Honey I Shrunk The Kids," only less cannibalistic.

Shaun College (sayman) says:

What would it taste like to mix all of those cereals into one bowl?

The grocery store beckons...

Mark Shainblum (webcomics-ca) says:

Oh no! It's over! What will I do for my chocolatey-good webcomics fix from now on?

Brendan, I said it before in my review of BOTG, you're the Alan Moore of breakfast cereal, and this was a true labour of love and insanity, emphasis on the love.

And now that you've earned your richly-deserved reputation as a genius, it's time to do some comics you don't have to hide under the table every time a lawyer walks by! Go out there and prosper and earn the riches you deserve.

Thanks for the wonderful ride.

Brendan,

Being called the Alan Moore of breakfast cereal is high praise indeed. And deserved.

But, since you actually drew it as well as wrote it, maybe you should be put in the pantheon nearer Frank Miller, Howard Chaykin, or Art Spiegelman?

Thank you for the great work.
