Comic Strip Haikus
Lockhorns
Two angry midgets
Hate each other very much
Their marriage is poor
Beatle Bailey
This lazy solider
Has never been in combat
Or entertaining
Hagar the Horrible
A Viking raider
And true to its name, it is
A horrible strip
Garfield
Fat cat, lonely man
I want to draw comic strips
Get rich without talent
Family Circus
Wholesome family
Reading it sends me into rage
Fuck this Goddamn shit
Baby Blues
Once a month or so
It can be funny, I guess
Better than most strips.
The Far Side
So many great laughs
Gary Larson, touched by God
Yes, God is a cow
Outland
People said it’s good
But I was eight at the time
Was hard to follow
Get Fuzzy
Cat and dog and man
This one’s funny, so why’s
it in the paper?
Blondie
In the Holocaust
the Nazis forced the Jews to
read Blondie all day
Penny Arcade
Mocks video games
But I read the long blog post
To understand the joke
Calvin and Hobbes
Hobbes is a real cat
Not a stuffed toy. Disagree?
Then I hope you die.
Dilbert
Office drones love it.
But I don’t get it at all.
Please give me a job.
