so apparently that was a bad investment
Sigh. Yes it's me, The Haiku Master. And brother, am I ever depressed.
Remember my last epic saga, "Wheelin' and Dealin'"? In which Old Man Winter and I teamed up to buy 95% of the world's supply of Egyptian cotton, with a presumed fortune coming our way once we sold it? Yeah. Funny thing is, Haiku International's Minister of Operations, Oswald "Oz" Carver, has been doing his damndest for more than a month to find a buyer, and guess what? The best offer he's gotten so far is a team of donkeys and 12 girls of marrying age from an impoverished village in the Andes.
In other words, unless you're a polygamist, Egyptian cotton is worthless. Which means the Pharaoh of 5-7-5 has been ripped off. And the Pharaoh of 5-7-5 hates being ripped off!!
As It Turns Out, Egyptian Cotton Isn't Worth A Dime
So beware, Milo Minderbender, beware! Wherever you go, wherever you hide, I will find you... and when I do, it shall surely be clobbering time!
Best,

P.S. As the more observant amongst you have no doubt already noticed, three new The Haiku Master Epic Sagas comic book covers are now available: one for "Wheelin' and Dealin';" one for my tussle with the Scientologists, now entitled "Xenu and Me;" and a long-overdue one for "World of the Dogs." Enjoy!

Sorry about the no-show, Stan, but your better known brother, Dan "The Man" Marino, had his monthly poker game on Friday, and I didn't get out of there until about 9 a.m. Saturday morning. Needless to say, massive battery recharging was required prior to that night's patrol, hence my non-appearance at your to-do.
Besides which, you live in like the 260th century, while I live in the 21st century. There's no way I could've made it.
The good news is, I won about $300 at the game. AND I got a great deal on car insurance!
Best,
The Haiku Master
