We interrupt this occasionally too-serious weblog — and our crusade against the
5-7-5 haiku myth — to point you to Haiku Circus, by Ken Sakamoto, “A comic strip
that combines drawings with haiku poetry (5-7-5 syllables).”

On the FAQ page, comic-haijin Sakamoto says:
Q: Is this really traditional haiku poetry?
A: It’s pop culture haiku. I break a few rules, but the syllables are still there.
We won’t let his syllable obsession keep us from smiling at Ken’s wit, sharing in
his frequent haiku moments, or wondering just what he’s smokin‘.
