Today’s haiku comes to us from Jackanapes.

Pie Jesu Domine, dona eis requiem. | Merciful Lord Jesus, grant them rest.

Nothing can save us but…
Gasp! The Holy Hand Grenade!
…What do we count to?

Today’s haiku comes to us from Sasha Fiero, whose birthday is today! Happy birthday, Sasha!

I couldn't decide what was in my head more as I drew this - "Dream Weaver", or sitar music.

Pink floral patterns;
Like incense burners – koro;
Dream-eating Munna!

This is an interesting Pokémon. It’s a combination of the aforementioned “koro”, which is an incense burner (thus the smoke), and a baku, the legendary dream-eating tapir that Drowzee and Hypno are based on. I wonder if something special happens if you leave a Munna and a Drowzee at the Day Care together…

Today’s haiku comes to us from MDude.

I wonder if the introductory chapter in Advance Wars 2 titled "Neotanks?!" is a reference to "Metal Gear?!"

Tears through infantry.
Neotanks decide the war!
Maybe they’re too strong?

This reminds me of the Magitek suits obliterating the poor resistance soldiers of Narshe in Final Fantasy VI.

plip plap

Kapar the green duck
Clearly completely kappa
“Loosely based,” yeah right.

Kapar has perfect GLOBULORB proportions. This is the type of character I set out to draw when I started this project!

Today’s haiku comes to us from Jackanapes.

Sing us an enchanting tale of adventure on the high seas, Michael Bolton.

Upon the ship’s bow
Stands Admiral Bobbery
Thinking of lost love.

Today’s haiku comes to us from Jackanapes.

The fact that it's heavily scarred - but still alive - means a lot of campaigns ended in tears.

Beauty’s in its eye.
You can try to argue, if
You don’t mind dying.

Today’s haiku comes to us from Yutz.

Dumb haiku. Cute Pokémon.

It lives on the beach.
I suggest you Spheal with it.
Sunglasses just dropped.

I had to fight against my every urge to not add falling snow or aurora borealis. Sometimes an arctic scene can speak for itself!

What a week that was! Today’s haiku comes to us from Jackanapes.

I properly grimied this one up to show him as more of a construction tool than an enemy.

How careless of them
To leave their hard hats here – OH!
Peekaboo, Metall!

I always figured a Met’s actual purpose was to be a construction robot, what with the hard-hats. I figured the little nuggets they shoot are either rivets, or some kind of welding beam. As such, I’ve suspended this guy on a girder far above the city.
