Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal (SMBC) is a webcomic created by Zach Weinersmith in 2002. The comic is hosted on https://www.smbc-comics.com/, where it is described as "a daily comic strip about life, philosophy, science, mathematics, and dirty jokes".
Many comics have title text (aka alt text or hovertext or mouseover text) which appears when hovering the cursor over the comic, and supplements the joke. Zach began to add title text in the mid 2010s.[citation needed][more precise]
The blog is a section below the comic where Zach occasionally writes additional information about the comic or current events in SMBC. SMBC also has a forum and comments section.
