Mild sidenote: How to Invent Everything is by Ryan North, the cat behind Dinosaur Comics; Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal is done by Zach Weiner, a different person.
Milder sidenote: SMBC was created by Zach Weinersmith. Presumably his ancestors made the weiners.

That might be the case! I haven't read SMBC regularly for a very long time, so if there was a name change in the past, i dunno, five years or something, I probably wouldn't have noticed!
Oof, you're correct! I totally mixed my comics up. Both are fantastic, pithy creators.
