komikera

I‘m a big fan of  witty comics and cartoons. My first treasured reading material was Funny Komiks  not Mother Goose’s Nursery Rhymes or Grimm’s FairyTales (i’ve memorized my first nursery rhyme and learned about Cinderella in College, while i was volunteering at a daycare center) I learned to read through Niknok and Planet op da Eyps. My greatest hero then was Mahimud Ali, the carabao version of the great boxer, Ali.

   Matsutsu,Mahimud Ali and Niknok were but a few of my fave comic characters

Then during my teen years, i got hooked with the Super Friends of the DC universe, the Fantastic Four and all those beautifully drawn comic superheroes.

 Recently, i’ve been following Polgas of Pugad Baboy and Peanuts in the dailies. These quick, witty shorties somehow makes my day complete. Cartoonists like the late Charles Schulz, brothers Pol and Lan Medina, and my brother Lex (he used to make tons of comics -his very own- when he was only 10 years old) are but a few of those i admire in the field of cartooning.

  So what kung mababaw kaligayahan ko? hehehehe

Anyway, I tried my hand at cartooning once, since i was really into it. Here are my first few attempts at about… twelve years ago. I still use them as demo materials for my summer art workshops

  Kurdapya da Sosyalera, Pidel Vamos, & Elvis da Karaoke King are a few of my first cartoons

 I will be posting some of my own comic strips after this, but don’t hold your breath. They’re nothing short of corny.

and speaking of comics… i have this friend who has this H-U-G-E collection of anything comic (and if you ask me, i think he’s one too Visit my friend  Gnel in his comiclab to see what i mean.
