At the edge of a wheat field likes a tiny kingdom ruled over by a [[{{Lilliputians}} tiny woman]]. Her son is a brave boy by the name of Peter wheat, who spends his days adventuring with his friends and defending the kingdom from the evil Hornet Queen Dragonel, or her father the Grand Wizard. Each comic would end with an ad promoting Krug's Peter Wheat Bread, it being the reason the comic was made, after all.
