Haiku Comics

Why So Serious?

Photograph of packaged Haiku Comics merchandise ready for shipment.OK, so everyone has used that line since The Dark Knight came out, but sometimes it just works. The reason I am “so serious” is that I wanted to take this time to thank everyone who has purchased a book, mug, or some combination of the two so far. I especially want to thank their patience as we get this whole store thing worked out. That being the case, I have just finished packaging and printing out shipping labels for our current orders. OK, there is one that still has payment pending, but we still love you and will get your shipment out as soon as it clears :) So, on Monday, all of the nice packages above will be brought to our local post office, dropped off in the mail, and sail happily along to show up at your doorstep. Of course, the poor packages have no idea what perverted and sick things our readers will be doing to them, but hey, whatever goes on in the privacy of your own home is fine by us. So once again, thank you for your patience and your continued support of our site. Nathan and I do this because it’s fun, not to become rich. Although we wouldn’t mind becoming rich :)

Update
All orders where payment has been confirmed, including International orders were shipped today. Once again, thank you for your patience.

Grand Opening

Internet too small
Haiku Comics store open
Horror spreads to print

Yes, the above haiku is true. The long awaited, never duplicated, Haiku Comics Store is now open. In it you can buy books, coffee mugs, t-shirts, alien spaceships, and much, much more!

Nathan: “Uh, Bob, no. They can’t buy alien spaceships”
Bob: “What? Well, books, coffee mugs, t-shirts and more at least, right?”
Nathan: “Well, sort of.”
Bob: “Sort of?”
Nathan: “One book and one coffee mug right now.”
Bob: “What?!?!? We will get more right?”
Nathan: “Oh yeah, working on that now, but for now, just the book and mug.”
Bob: “OK, yeah we can work with that.”

So there you have it. Right now you can buy the first 100 strips in book form and our very own Baby Zombie on a coffee mug. We do have plans to expand our wares in the near future. All we ask is that you have a little patience as we iron out the bugs. Currently we are getting all of the shipping supplies put together and hope to start sending out the first products by the end of this week. Until the link is put on the site, here is the link to the store if you want to check it out: http://store.haikucomics.com/

The Horror! The Horror!

Well, it’s just after 5am here and before I call it a night, I wanted to mention that Bob and I compiled a list of our favorite horror movies which was published the other day over at Midnite Media. Jonny Metro asked us to put together a top ten list but, in an effort to one up everyone else, we decided to make it our top eleven. Nigel would be proud.

In other news, prints of a few of my illustrations can now be purchased online. For those wondering when Haiku Comics merchandise will be made available for sale, we should have some news on that front very soon.

Have a great weekend everyone!
