Snakepit is a daily three-panel autobiographical comic done by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/bensnakepit\">Ben Snakepit<\/a>  (Austin, Tx based punk rocker). It is one of my favorite comics and one  of the longest running autobiographical daily comics that I know of.  Ben used to print them up in a quarterly zine but now they are  published once a year as a book. I just got my copy of Snakepit 2008 in  the mail this week and I wanted to do a recipe out of it. One of Ben\u2019s  favorite foods is migas and it is referenced in this years comic. I had  no idea what the hell migas are prior to reading the book but I was  interested in them since he spoke so highly of them. Turns out they are  some type of Mexican egg dish; which is super easy to make vegan (hello  tofu scramble).
