Confessions of a Cereal Eater

Rob Maisch and Bo Hampton’s Confessions of a Cereal Eater is a single-issue, NBM-published comic from 1995 that uses the seemingly trivial topic of breakfast cereal to explore deeper, more personal memories. Rather than a series, it stands as a focused, illustrated essay, with Hampton’s art bringing warmth and nostalgia to Maisch’s reflections on how a simple, sugary box can anchor our childhoods. Its value lies in its quiet, specific authenticity, capturing a universal experience through a very particular, creative lens.
