passion haiku
Wednesday, January 31st, 2007This drawing was Vendetta’s birth. She has changed a bit since then, but I thought it would be neat to show you the original sketch, besides it inspired the accompanying haiku. I hope you enjoy.
I’m not sure if I’ve ever told you all how much I adore it when you reply in haiku form but I’m telling you now. It’s really fun for me to read the responses and see people getting into the spirit of things. If you aren’t sure how, haikus are easy. The general rule is 3 lines: 5 syllables, 7 syllables, 5 syllables respectively, no rhyming necessary. Your regular comments are of course delightful too, but if you feel inclined to haiku..please do. 
So tomorrow, I have my guest strip up at Ben Stirling’s Patrick Grey Online. This is the full deal where I had to write my own script and do the artwork. Again, it was harder than I expected, but I think I did okay…sorta. Anyways, do check it out and while your there, nestle in and go through a year’s worth of fabulous archives. It’s a story based comic, humorous, sarcastic, sweet. I read it religiously myself, so it was an honor to be asked to do this.
In other comic news, one of my favorite comics has been under a bit of attack. I happen to love Marbles. I think it’s clever and witty and raises awareness through humor, but I guess not everyone agrees. I had turned a friend (hi Gabe!) on to it some time ago and mentioned some of the crits that I’ve been hearing lately and he wrote a great blog article about it. I like to keep things on my dark little website rather light, so I’m not encouraging a debate, but merely mentioning a comic that some find controversial in case you want to give it a read and judge for yourselves.
That’s it for now. Remember Valentine’s and Anti-Valentines goodies are available in the GingerDead store. Order now to get you’re stuff on time.
See you next week with the start of romantic little story arc! Thanks for reading.

beating heart on fork
pumping blood as teeth descend

to squish with bare hands

A haiku is great
But your comics are better
A ten plus for rate!

i cant write haikus…
(neither can I take that cursed song from Insane Clown Posse off my mind, apparently…. if only Lenoir could poke through my head… still a good song though. Ow. Head hurts. Stream of conciousnes. Must sleep. Hey wait!)
My head kinda hurts
typing stream of conciousness
I must sleep, hey wait!

First-time visitor

hi new visitor
may i give you a cookie?
careful, it bites back.
;)

Ooh, a cookie? yum
Wait, carnivorous cookie?
Maybe not so good…
Maybe it depends-
Gingerdead or Vendetta?
Scary either way.
Or maybe you were
speaking metaphorically-
in which case, um, thanks?

In my own opinion
Haikus are for big sissys
Oh wait- God dammit!

Just like Gingerdead
Stinkoman Eighty-Seven,
you’re a girly-man
;)
Speaking in Haiku
five syllables, seven, five,
doesn’t make it art;
to find irony
in so few syllables, though,
takes talent. Bravo.

Happy Valentin….Dear God!
Is that an organ?
