OK, I was completely unprepared for the overwhelming quantity and quality of haiku(s) that you guys posted. You guys all rock, and anyone who hasn’t read them all should do so right now. Here are my arbitrary top picks:

Actual Japanese category:

新聞や
笑に横たふ
ガフィールド

–Anonymous
Who knows what it means? I’m just impressed that someone actually wrote it. According to Altavista’s Babelfish, it translates to: “Side it is in the newspaper and laughing ふ ガフィールド”. Well alrighty then!

Using actual comics dialog category:

Pushed out by the tide.
Oh no, Sharks. That’s all I need!
I’ll try to stay calm.

–Jeff R.

Sexual playtoy!
Ooh-och-ookie! Hoo hoo hoo!
Baby had NO shame!

–Incident

Subtle use of catchphrase category:

Grampa on the couch
dreaming of harem women
I guess he’s been there

–fuzzmaster

Shameless merchandising category:

Hats of Fencepost Frank
Are for sale at Cafepress
But no one buys them

–Dub Not Dubya

Doing that whole “haikus and seasons” thing category:

Haikus need seasons

Apartment 3-G

Spring Moon, Anna pukes

Seeing what’s unseen category:

Meddlesome Mary
dispensing advice to all
Just needs to get laid.

Sir, may I have another?

Snide but funy category:

But which brings in cash?

Poignant as the source material category:

His heart’s imagination
Mailbox is empty

You, too, Rex Morgan
