No seriously, I think you hit a lot of things on the head. Of course I disagree about the haikus not adding a lot to the comics, but that is my opinion as I know what is going on behind the scenes. Thanks for taking the time to review our little corner of the Internet.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08284472537579012313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3587351525505141241.post-73104868807923980362010-04-29T07:59:40.256-07:002010-04-29T07:59:40.256-07:00You have a point about the art coming from the hai...You have a point about the art coming from the haiku, I just meant that some people who aren't the meditative type may not care for the type of storytelling that the haiku provides. Some people aren't that deep, yknow?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03657063382925256328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3587351525505141241.post-74520246053216370382010-04-28T13:32:16.514-07:002010-04-28T13:32:16.514-07:00That was a nice review, thanks Jack!
It's a p...That was a nice review, thanks Jack!<br /><br />It's a pretty fair review, although I guess my one quibble would be that I would (obviously) have to disagree about the haikus. You mention that you think that it's hard to read a bunch of them in one sitting, but I would point out that is sort of the point of haiku. They are to be meditated on and digested. The haiku allow us to condense and compress some pretty big premises into single strips. While I agree that the art often tells it's own story, I think it's that other story that is communicated through the haiku lend the comic an "epic" quality.<br /><br />Additionally, the art for many of the comics is actually inspired by the haiku. No haiku, no comic.<br /><br />But to each his own, right? I can't fault you for having a different opinion.<br /><br />And, yes, our website is barely passable. Hopefully we'll have some time to address that at some point here. :DNathan Olsenhttp://haikucomics.comnoreply@blogger.com
