Banana Boogie by Ludwig L. Ilio

Filed Under Comics Artists, Online Comics, Philippine Comics | 8 Comments

Jingle Magazine was a legendary music and pop culture magazine published in the Philippines in the 70′s and 80′s. It spawned some of today’s most popular writers (Eric Gamalinda, Juaniyo Arcellana), directors (Lav Diaz), and even cartoonists (Deng Coy Miel).

Back issues of this magazine sell for an astonishing P500-P2500 at Ebay Philippines.

The cartoons and comics featured in this magazine, specially during the 1970s, presented what may well be the first alternative to what the mainstream publishers were releasing at the time.

The two page comics strip below appeared in the June 1978 issue.

    Waxing nostalgic, I remember this one, but my favorites really were the Roxlee cartoons. Now all of a sudden I miss Jingle magazine!

    Salamat, Ger, dito. Hanep yung style, galeng.

    Kung walang Jingle siguro hindi ako natutong mag-gitara at doon ko rin tinitignan kung anong magandang lokal albums na labas kapag meron at ilan ang ‘batingaw’ o ‘bangaw’ na rate.

    Hanggang ngayon hinahanap hanap ko yung issue na kung saan lumabas yung full page komiks na gawa ko rin, early or middle 80s yata yun.

    Naku Bong, ang mahal ng mga back issue ng Jingle. Sa Ebay.ph ako nakakita at hindi bumababa ng 500 pesos ang isang issue. Pinakamahal na 2,500. Meron akong ilang issue… tingnan ko kung andun gawa mo.

    Randy… post ko rin minsan mga cartoons ni Roxlee. :)

    Maraming Salamat, Ger. Nakita ko nga rin sa Ebay ph, Gerry eh. Ang bad trip dun eh hindi ko alam kung anong issue, para yun lang sana ang bilhin ko. Meron akong isang kopya ngayon ng Jingle pero yung tula ko lang nandoon. :P

    Gerry,
    Maraming koleksyon ng Jingle ang misis ko, I think mga 4 boxes, pati special editions like Beatles, BeeGees at Christmas songs. Meron din siya noong maliliit pa ang size.
    Malupit talaga ang Jingle, and I consider the Guillermo brothers na genius pagdating sa paggawa ng music magazine.

    Thanks Gerry! If I’m not mistaken Roxlee’s strips in Jingle came before Cesar Asar, jeprox na jeprox yung dating ng mga cartoons niya :)

    Gerry, asan si LUDWIG ILIO ngayon? I remember him as an editorial/political cartoonist sa isang national broadsheet. I like his clean lines….

    Hello Auggie! Parang nagpe-painting si Ludwig ngayon.
