Haiku Friday: Comics!


Most of us grew up reading the comics, and most of us liked it.  Let's go there this week:  You can haiku about any cartoon you remember.

Here is mine:

Garfield is not good
But Garfield without Garfield...
Now you are talking!

Now it is your turn.  Use the 5/7/5 syllable formula and have some fun!

Comments:
We're out of gift wrap?!?
Just use the Sunday funnies!
Ta-da, problem solved.

(We recycled well
before recycling was "cool."
It sure saved money!)

 
Today is "Something on a Stick Day" professor!! You're missing a great opportunity!

My father took the tubes
Out of the idiot box
So we'd learn to read.

Mother was dramatic
And liked to read us the funnies.
Peanuts.Each one of

Us was one of them.
I was Lucy.I liked to
Tease,had big mouth.Toni was


Sally,beguiling
Ways. Rock was Charlie Brown,so
Worried. Nels : Linus.
 
Going to Bloom County,
Was very therapeutic,
With penguin and all.
 
Born small,he grew slow.
Eyes ink sepia outsize his head.
Other boys tease


Him about his size
He dreams big,powerful,Bat
Becomes man. Helps weak

Rights wrongs.But is troubled.
He fights his darker side. Has
A butler and drives

Black stretch limo car
With fins--into a dark lab
Cave.With tools and cape

One can live untouched.
Real life touches you.Now,boy's
Super aids? Brains and Friends.
 
I love you baby
I said.You got boobs like
Veronica. Coal black hair

Like Betty.Like to take
You to the Senior Prom
In my Jalopy...

Unfortunately
Jughead has borrowed it and
Drove it into a house

Owned by Mr.Smithers.
Aw,heck,let's just sit and neck.
Til your Dad drives up.
 
Fifty cents a week
Per little girl they twirled the
Rack and read for free.

The Great Illustrated
Classics read one;
The other read spellbound

Fantastic Four. He,
The Pharmacist in this small
Town watched like a hawk.

In the end all they
Wanted was a large Butter
Brickle ice cream cone.

Turned to read them first
every morning a journey
damn the New York Times

There are no funnies
to be found, except Sunday
in Week in Review

Tried reading on-line
For Better or for Worse - sigh
Its just not the same
