We are proud to announce the launch of a Clean Planet original, HAPSIE, expanding on our mission to provide an exciting way to bring sustainability to all.
Delivering daily original stories to amuse, amaze, and educate all readers, HAPSIE promises to entertain eco-warriors from the ages of 7 and up with enjoyable, fun yet educational comic strips.
Launching in time for Earth Day 2021, HAPSIE.com can be read free online, with an option of subscribing to the bi-annual HAPSIE Hodgepodge, a hardback consisting of ‘over 200+ pages of HAPSINESS’.
In addition to a website of endless jokes and original games, HAPSIE also includes daily videos of nature filmed by the HAPSIE team and presented by two of the main characters, Naeco & Ria- who represent the Ocean & Air.
HAPSIE is the creation of renewable energy company Clean Planet Energy whose mission is to clean the world of plastic waste and help reduce carbon emissions.
“Every weekday at 2.30 pm we unveil a new story from one of the 10+ brilliant HAPSIE characters. Most of the time these stories help us better the world around us in an entertaining way, other times they are just being a little bit silly”, says Bertie Stephens, CEO of Clean Planet Energy, and acting as the inaugural Editor of the HAPSIE comic.
“Accessible, Diverse, and Enjoyable were key milestones when planning HAPSIE. We wanted the content to be free and entertaining for all ages, and with a team of writers and illustrators in 6 of the 7 continents we hope our stories and characters can help reflect all walks of life”, Stephens continued.
The first print edition of the bumper HAPSIE Hodgepodge is released on May 19th 2021, and readers can subscribe at HAPSIE.com for £3.25/month, or pay a discounted annual fee of £35 which provides 2 annuals a year. A single copy is £19.99 + postage. Any revenues made from HAPSIE go towards the cost of the print & delivery of the printed editions, with any remainder supporting the growth of the HAPSIE tree grove.
HAPSIE can be accessed for free online at hapsie.com, where you can already read stories from some of the original ‘HAPSIE Crew’ members, including:
