Illustrated by
Eric Wight.
Egg, Waffle, Pancake, and others swoon over Bacon, who arrogantly enjoys the spotlight, slighting other breakfast meats and eschewing old friends ("Who needs friends when you have fans?"). In a humorously logical ending, bacon crumbs on an empty plate reveal just how much he's loved. Anthropomorphized foods cavorting through an old-timey diner star in the retro illustrations.
