NEW THING! This is the beginning of a quasi-fictional, multimedia story about the two cats we recently adopted. We were wondering why they don't seem to know their names -- above is the prevailing theory of what happened before we met them.
Edit to add: Please know that we love the cats, flaws and all!

This haiku is about living in bubbles, and how that can be a dangerous thing. Bubbles can pop!
I drew this with colored pencils in a tremendous feat of multitasking.

ALSO: I was one of the runners up in Gama-Go's haiku contest. In my haiku, I meld five of their characters and an elementary school song into seventeen syllables, and my byline is spelled rather incorrectly.
AND: I remixed a Garfield comic into haiku format for Square Root of Minus Garfield. The results were posted yesterday, along with my fantastical explanation of its artistic merit. Check it out!
NOT TO MENTION: On Sunday, I went to the Philly Alt-Comic Con with Sticky Comics. We met tons of awesome people, bought cool swag and sold stuff from Ten East Read. Excellent times were had.
AND ALSO: Eric and I designed a new shirt, the Birthday Awesome shirt. It's ideal for every day and for special occasions, too. Get 'em at Ten East Read!
![The nap was delicious. The coffee, not so much. [Haiku: Reaching for coffee, / she becomes waylaid, mid-stretch, / by a pleasant nap.]](http://lh6.ggpht.com/_FowDNVjUkqE/TFhubAc5q3I/AAAAAAAACsI/AMc491kZ-Aw/s800/coffee-nap_haiku.jpg "The nap was delicious.

I sketched the illustration for this haiku very literally while in the waiting room at the dentist's office. It is dedicated to a delightful nap I once took.

ALSO: I did a guest comic for Sticky Comics last week. Check it out if you're interested in some non-poetic silliness.
