Mr. Komikero
We even intentionally avoided interactions with him due to his "at the time" views about anime-manga artists.
Which in hindsight was both a challenge and sort of beneficial to our growth as an artist.
We eventually outgrew our manga influences and eventually developed and honed our own art style and storytelling.
We weren't lucky enough to read his magnum opus: Wasted.
But was fortunate enough to catch his later works like Johnny Balbona in Mwahaha (Mango Comics),
Lastikman (which
was an epic Alanguilan-Arre-Tadeo collab),
Crest Hutt Butt Shop
and the Eisner nominee, Elmer.
We became fans then eventually friends around Komikon 2007 (Our very first Komikon).
Where we had a few discussions about Carlo J. Caparas' Komiks.
He'd buy our books and in return, we'd feature him in our strips, articles, segments.
Hence, our sorry asses were eventually featured in Komikero Dot Com. We felt mighty proud of that, actually.
We were also fortunate enough to have a very short conversation with him back when we've decided to Redesign Elmer.
Komiket 2015 would be the last time we'd see each other.
This would also be the time that I'd release even fewer books and appear even less at conventions.
We've noticed that he had gotten a lot thinner. Not knowing the information
I know now (courtesy of Crest Hutt Butt Shop Volume 4).
I was under the impression that he was simply on a diet or living a more healthy lifestyle.
But for everyone else that really knew him, he will always be Manong and Sir Gerry.
Until we meet again.

It's a rather confusing trailer buttt....
Fuck the invisible plane,
when you can pretty much lasso a bolt of lightning.
And also:
Again, not too flashy but somewhat promising!
And despite what others might have to say about the 2016 version,
at least they were clever enough to include the iconic Ray Parker Jr. song on their trailer.
I'm just saying....
