Haiku Comic
I’ve always enjoyed the concision and simple beauty of the Japanese haiku. Not just the three lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables, but also the thematics and content restrictions: a season is mentioned, nature is prominent, an emotion is conveyed indirectly (or variations on these). I’ve begun to experiment with translating this into comics form.
My first attempt is here. I decided to turn three lines into three panels, the middle of which is slightly larger than the others. Other than that it’s more about maintaining a sense of concision, indirect emotion, and nature.
