“Four Great Comic Artists”

Filed Under Comics Artists, Filipino Artists, Philippine Comics | 10 Comments

The illustration above is by Bira Dantas, a Brazilian caricaturist friend of mine who had sent me a caricature of Nestor Redondo and also of Eugene and me in 2006.

This time, he sent me a caricature of, in his own words, “Four great Comic Artists that came from Philippines!” (Alex Niño, Ernie Chan, Tony De Zuniga, Rudy Florese)

Thanks Bira, for sending me this drawing, and thanks for including my father in law, Rudy Florese.

More info on Bira here, here, and here.

    WOW!!!!!! Except for Mr. Florese, which I never met.. yung 3 SUPER KUHA and looks! : )

    I just went with Whilce this past weekend to visit Mang Tony, as he is recovering from a major health issue and man I cringed at the idea that all these real greats are not getting the right recognition they deserve…. sigh…

    Thanks a lot for posting!
    Gerry, you won’t believe, but I’ve made 2 caricatures of your father in law!
    I’ve forgotten that! And they look almost equal…
    Take a look at them:

    Gerry,
    Ah, finally, something else (together with the Arlan Esmena posting). Sa totoo lang sukang-suka na ako sa subject na Caparas. Siguro’y panahon na siyang iburol, hahahaha, where he rightfully belongs.

    Galing nitong mga caricatures. Kuhang-kuha.

    BTW, any update on the Coching publications?

    Rod, believe me, I’m sick of this CJC issue myself. But as long as he keeps talking, I’m gonna have to keep on posting lest he thinks he’s finally silenced his critics. But don’t worry, I will be posting a lot of non-CJC stuff like this one. As for EL INDIO, I just might be getting an advance copy really soon and I’ll preview it here.

    Wow! This is really good.

    At first gance without looking at the name I thought Alex Nino looks like Dolphy ;)

    These are Great Masters that deserves only the best.

    BTW, Sir Gerry have you had the chance to meet Ernie Chan? He seems to be a fun loving person ;)

    I’ve only met Ernie online.

    Gerry…

    I don’t have the heart to click the link and see a pic of Eugene IN you…

  8. Gerry Alanguilan on August 19th, 2009 10:42 am

    I et him.

    Mang Alex actually look more like a cross of Bata Reyes and a little Dolphy… hehe : p

    And si Mang Ernie naman, super nice guy! Really really melow and easy going…
