So due to some unfounded overconfidence, Nathan and I will be going to the Alternative Press Expo (APE) being held in San Francisco on October 17th and 18th. The APE convention is “One of the country’s most popular and vibrant alternative comics shows”. No really, it’s right there on their website. So, if you are interested in seeing the “talent” behind the comics, feel free to come out and introduce yourself. We are working on having an item or two for sale while we are there, but no promises at this time. Oh yeah, I should probably post this as well APE Comic Convention just in case anyone wants to go check out their site.

Haiku Comics Mentioned in Rue Morgue Magazine

Another item of note that I wanted to pass along is that one of our loyal readers J/Metro got Haiku Comics a small blurb in the magazine Rue Morgue. Granted, it is just a small paragraph in their Roadkill section, but it is our first “mainstream” mention of the site that I am aware of. So go check out J/Metro’s and Rue Morgue’s websites in appreciation of their appreciation of our site. (Yeah, I have a hard time reading that sentence also.)

Happy 50th!!!

Yes, believe it or not, today is our 50th strip. In honor of this achievement, because let’s be honest here, who thought we’d still be going at this point, we proudly present the return of Zombie Baby. Both Nathan and I would like to thank all of you who have read and continue to read our little project here. It really is the comments we get from you all that keeps us going. Without you, none of this would happen. So here is to another 50 strips and another return of Zombie Baby.

On a side note, I just want to say that I have the easy half of this partnership. Without Nathan’s skill at drawing, either this wouldn’t be happening or you’d be seeing my badly drawn stick figures. So if you think about it, give him a shout out in the comments and let him know you appreciate all of his hard work.

Role Reversal

July 17, 2009March 25, 2009 by Robert

OK, no, I am not drawing anything, so you are safe from that horror. However the comics for the 25th and the 27th have had a slight role reversal. Instead of Nathan creating the drawings from my haikus, I created the haikus based on his drawings. It was definately an interesting switch from my perspective trying to create a story that went with the drawing instead of the other way around. I personally really like how they turned out, but of course it is up to you dear readers to decide that for yourself.

A Question For Our Readers

So, as I look through the options on our site, I realize that I have no idea what so ever on how to post a poll. Therefore, it is up to you dear readers to leave a comment on this thread. Now that we have run a fairly long storyline and multiple one shot comics, we have a question for you:

Which do you prefer to read?

Story lines are good, but how about a week or so at most. (60%, 6 Votes)
Love the long story lines, more more!! (40%, 4 Votes)

So, there you go. Please leave a comment and let us know what you think. I don’t promise anything, but hey maybe you will feel like you have some control.

Thank You

So, as you or may not know, we have one fan who is insane. We love her, but she’s crazy. As in, she got a tattoo of one of the comic panels on her leg. Recognizing this insanity and its place in the universe, today’s comic is a small thank you. Now, don’t think that getting a tattoo will get you into the comic, although it couldn’t hurt. This was a one time thing as a thank you to Julie who has been following us since day two or three :)

Welcome From The Other Half

January 26, 2009 by Robert

I suppose it’s time that I spoke up around here. :)

I want to thank everyone who comes to this site to see what Nathan and I are doing. I have a lot of fun thinking up different haikus, especially in the current story line, but none of this would be possible if Nathan didn’t have the ability to draw it all out. It’s great seeing a haiku drawn out and seeing how someone else interprets your thoughts. While we seem to be thinking the same thing 95% of the time, its that 5% that makes each comic a joy to see for the first time once it has been drawn.

As Nathan said, while zombies may be taking up a lot of space on the site right now, fear not as other creatures will be showing up in the future. Heck, who knows, maybe we’ll even come up with something that isn’t morbid some day. I wouldn’t hold your breath, but it’s always possible. So have fun, ready the comics, and enjoy the site.

Oh yeah, I think this pushes Nathan’s welcome message off the page. So click back and see what he has to say.
