The first batch of Elmer Gift Sets will be delivered today. Yes, we’d rather prefer to hand these sets directly to those who bought them rather then send them via courier. We don’t want to take the chance that it they will be lost, and that I feel it’s much better to meet with those [...]

Is Philippine Comics DEAD? Of course NOT.

Filed Under Filipino Artists, Philippine Comics | 13 Comments

The question of whether comics is alive or dead in the Philippines is a puzzling one. To me it is obvious. Philippine comics *is* alive and well, and I’m baffled why it’s even questioned at all.
The problem lies with history. The Philippines has had a very long history of comics where people grew up knowing [...]

To whom it may concern. I don’t appreciate you publicly announcing that I will be conducting any summer classes of any kind without contacting me first. If I didn’t stumble on it online, I wouldn’t even know about it. I was never contacted for it, I never agreed to it, and I don’t know anything [...]

I should be quarantined. Better yet, culled like the chickens in Elmer. You guys have to. It’s an epidemic now.

*Staying away from Twitter and Plurk for a while. Specially Twitter, after it vanished my last five posts, plus a number of private messages, overnight. I’ll be back when those messages are back.
*That’s the last time I raise my hand to volunteer myself for anything. I’m game for a lot of things, but now you’ll [...]

Filed Under General | 5 Comments

Some of my friends are right, I can’t believe it. I’m starting to become a grumpy old man. The Grumpy Old Man of Comics! I guess I just can’t help being who I am. And it’s futile to be who I’m not.
If you plan on adding me on Facebook, here’s something to remember.
There are people [...]

Over at Twitter, Charles Tan asked the question, “Which published story of yours would you like to be known for as your ’signature story’“?
I had replied that I would like to think I haven’t written it yet. After all, I’ve so far published only very few stories. There’s Wasted, Elmer, Timawa, Humanis Rex! the Siglo [...]
