Comics powered by Hitler, time travel and haiku

What do you get when you mix the last leader of the Nazi party with a popular science fiction theme and 17 syllables? You get Hitler killed by a mad time-traveling scientist, as illustrated by Nathan Olsens (@nateomedia) and accompanied by a haiku written by Robert Olsen. The pair run Haiku Comics. Go check out their site to see the full strip. How did I find out about the site? I noticed it when Olsens shared this panel on Twitter, of course.
