Haiku Comics, written by Robert Olsen and drawn by Nathan Olsen, mashes together aliens, zombies and horror movies with the gentle art of the seventeen syllable English haiku.
I prefer drawing werewolves with a full-on wolf face, but I didn’t think that would work for this comic — I thought it might make it too difficult to pick up on the fact that it’s the same guy from panel two. So I went with the more traditional film werewolf face. I figure that a more seasoned werewolf might have some control over his transformation, so this is sort of half-werewolf mode.
Sort of like what Guardian is on the a VF-1 Veritech Fighter.
Weird, once changing into supernatural legends you’d think they’d have so much more to talk about. C’mon, can’t we all just get along? Instead of being arch-enemies, how about some monster magnetism? Have we had a hot vampire/werewolf bedroom scenario yet? I say let ‘em loose on each other. Forget the “Van Helsing” (werewolf)/Dracula CGI movie smackdown, just imagine the havoc these two sexy comic strip beasts could wreak in a motel room.
If you’re referring to her fangs, no, I saw them. I was actually going to make some off-color comment regarding “sucking” on the first date…but I didn’t want to come across as uncouth :-)
Yeah, “nice shading” on this strip, but I’m still in awe of the X-Ray glasses “blue light glow”. Never saw that before. That’s right up there with the glittering unicorn rainbow.
If only I had the time to do some of the crazier things I’ve thought of — I have a couple of concepts sitting on my desk that I can’t even work on because they involve too much of my time.
The shading thing is something I’m going to be exploring for a bit here. It’s kind of nice to switch things up a bit.
On top of cranking out 3 strips a week (yikes) and trying to keep it fresh, you, no doubt, Nathan, have some sort of a life. I can see how having “time” to do everything you want with a strip could be an annoying restrictive factor (this is where cloning would come in handy). I gotta tell ya though, looking back on the early strips from just last year, your technique has vastly changed, amazingly so. Your recent artwork looks so..so… (dare I say it) professional.
Awkwaaarrrd.
Those “Creatures of the Night” dating services just aren’t all they’re hyped up to be.

Oh nice, the brother comes out with a Robotech / Macross reference.
Frankly, I would have enjoyed “Underworld” much more if a scene like this had been added.

Poor little fella…just when he was about to get a little heavy petting, he’s gotta go wolf out!

Me thinks you missed something on the woman there J.

Yeah, cause that’s what we strive for here … couthness :)
Granted, I am the same guy who demanded “MORE LADY PARTS!” So I guess, really, I’m only fooling myself.
“More lady parts.” That’s today’s equivalent of “More cowbell.”

Ah, wait ’til the parents of these star-crossed lovers find out! It will be a bloodbath. Or would that be a good thing?
I’m liking the artwork in this panel. Nice shading. And, as always, awesome comic.

And then again here I am wondering how their babies would be. This strip is consistent in the reactions it causes to me.
Hi Nishido. I read through your comments. I hope you are enjoying our little foray through the rabbit hole. Welcome aboard.
