Because sometimes, you've just gotta be weird.

I've spent a lot of time staring at cereal boxes while munching on my morning bowl, and I've often been struck by the lush photography: the giant strawberries plunging into an enticing bowl of benuggeted flakes; milk splashing upwards in playful arcs of wholesome goodness; milk dribbling off an overloaded spoon piled high with flakes and fruit. Who takes these pictures, anyway? Certainly not anyone I know. It's a skill, to be sure. Any food photographers out there, feel free to write me about the tricks of your trade.

While researching this strip (yes, I even research the non-political ones), I discovered the Wikipedia entries for Yoo-hoo, HoHos, and Cheez-its. Assuming the corporations are not writing these entries, I'm curious about the kind of person who spends his or her free time writing encyclopedic entries about lowbrow snack food. I'm frequently bored, but never that bored.
