Haiku Circus http://www.haikucircus.com A comic strip that combines drawings with haiku poetry. Thu, 11 Feb 2010 19:01:16 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 en hourly 1 HaikuCircushttp://feedburner.google.com State of HC http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/HaikuCircus/~3/mBuQUVm6cb4/ http://www.haikucircus.com/2010/02/11/state-of-hc-and-seeking-an-artist-for-a-new-project/#comments Thu, 11 Feb 2010 19:00:11 +0000 admin http://www.haikucircus.com/?p=308 So we’ve decided to once again suspend HaikuCircus for a short time to rework the website. Originally HC was designed and maintained by hand for the first 5 years before we moved it over into wordpress using the comicpress plugin. I guess the good part was we didn’t have to hand maintain it, the bad part we aren’t all that great with wordpress and some of the technical issues we experienced really hurt the comics normal publish times. So with that we’re going to take a good hard look the operation of our website and see how we can make it better for everyone.

Thanks for the support,

Mike

Greetings,

I am Ken’s brother, Mike Sakamoto.  I wanted to say thank you to all the Haiku Circus fans out there for the continuing support you’ve given Ken and Haiku Circus over the last 6 months even though it has been on hiatus. To squash rumors, Ken IS NOT DEAD as some websites had reported. Another good one was he was no living in a bubble because of a auto immune problem, still not the case.

Like all good things, Ken thought the website was coming to an end. As much as he didn’t want it to, real life decided to take away his time he could dedicate to the strip. One day over some warm saki we talked about what we should do… one idea was to sell the comic out right. We had many offers of 10’s of dollars, but Google didn’t come breaking down the door.

The other option we chose to go with was to let another writer take it over, unfortunately things didn’t work out and we started back at square one. Needless to say this was frustrating for both of us. Ken’s dream was sitting collecting dust, and I at the time was to busy in my own life to help out.

After 6 months both of our lives have calmed down, while Ken’s maybe still more hectic than mine,  we decided to give Haiku Circus another run. Right now we have 20 strips in production that will see publication every Monday starting February 23, 2009.

Soon we will be giving away stickers, buttons, & other random goodies so it’s worth it to get involved in the community. Speaking of giveaways… for everyone being good sports while we were away, we spent some time making everyone some desktop wallpapers – cause we know you’re getting tired of looking at the same old things so you have your choice of two:

Haiku Circus Wallpaper 1

Haiku Circus Wallpaper 1

Haiku Circus Wallpaper 2

Hopefully you enjoy them. On another note here’s some URL’s to follow HaikuCircus more closely as we’ll be updating these sources throughout the week.

The old archived comics have been moved over to our new site. Ken & I will have more info for you soon on what we’re up too here but please check back often – a lot of good things are about to happen on HaikuCircus.

Over the course of the next few days the comic archives will be down as we go through the grueling process of moving over 5+ years of comics to the new format.
