'The scientific community has not welcomed my "quantum threesome" concept.'

As a follower of SMBC comics I Kickstarted this book. The old comics I had read before, but we delightful to revisit. The additional comics are as nerdy as the intro disclaimer states. And the true science tales are a rare and wonderful glimpse into the life of scientists that most people don't get to see. And of course Zach's illustrations are hilarious.

Along with XKCD, Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal is one of the best webcomics being published today. This is a must read for those who like their humor science-y and slightly NSFW.

As a fan of the Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal online comic, I had to check this out. This book is a collection of the science-focused pieces that have appeared on the online site, along with some material made specifically for this book. The items I'd seen before was just as funny the second time around, and the original material is interesting - a mix of humor and insight.

Zach Weinersmith's ability to make science funny is awesome. If you know anything about science, you'll enjoy this book - regardless of which branch of the sciences you're best at.

If you own the other Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal books, you're going to see a lot of repeat content. (Then again, hey, you can read all the SMBC comics online, so there's a good chance you're not reading this book because you've never seen the content before. It's online for free.)

But the content that's unique to the book, especially the comic-rendered stories by scientists at the end, really make this volume shine. If all he was selling here was the back section it's worth the money just to hear scientists talking about being scientists. I hope he does more of those kinds of stories at the back of future volumes of his comics.
