zachary `` zach '' alexander weinersmith -lrb- born march 5 , 1982 as zachary alexander weiner and still using his birth name professionally -rrb- is the author and illustrator of the webcomic `` saturday morning breakfast cereal '' -lrb- smbc -rrb- , currently residing in california .
he is the writer of two other webcomics , the completed `` captain stupendous '' with artist chris jones , and `` snowflakes '' , co-written by james ashby and also illustrated by jones .
he also founded the sketch comedy group smbc theater with james ashby and marty weiner in 2009 .
weiner has been involved in writing and drawing comics since his high school years , but he premiered on the internet in around 2000 .
his early comics usually have three or more panels , but after 2002 , he switched to drawing predominantly one panel comics .
he stated in an interview that he is glad to have decided to draw one panel comics because he feels three panel webcomics have become a cliche and there are almost no decent one panel comics on the internet .
more recently , he draws a mixture of single and multi panel comics for smbc .
weiner 's webcomic was recognized in 2006 , and 2007 with the web cartoonists ' choice award for `` outstanding single panel comic '' , and received nominations in 2003 , and 2008 .
