...souls who claim there is little or no difference in flavor, Dartboard weeps. Those with less discerning palates, or those who drown their “Colossal Crunch” in milk, shoveling it down their throats with no time to linger on the tongue, may not notice, but sadly, they are also the ones who never understood the magic of cereal...

He has such a mastery of the form that while providing every necessary panel to tell the story he has extra space just for breathing room. A temple sits stoically in the woods, or flowers blow in the breeze, or a moth gets caught in a spider...
