Mr Ambush

Our sincerest condolences to the friends and family of Mr. Andrew Villar.

The sole person that we'd usually credit and thank for our inclusion in the 2012

and 2014

FCBD Sampler & Event.

We were just a bunch of nobodies (let's face it, we still probably are!) but our inclusion on those two instances

were a big deal to us and we will forever be thankful for that.

We weren't the closest of friends but having WAY too many mutual friends wouldn't warrant anything less.

Here was an on-the-spot Mona friendart (done circa 2014).
Hopefully, I'd be able to use it in the future.

He wasn't some distant corporate entity.
He started from the tiangges and would
continue to grow alongside his komiks brethren.

Sample Pages:

I could easily pull out these two issues for because they belong to our "CREAM OF THE CROP" collection. A series of indie komik books that were our absolute favorites and are more or less highly recommended by yours truly.

And here's why:

From Komikera 4.1.

From Boink! Comics.

Again, this was an excellent title. And a kid-friendly one (as if you can't tell by the cover). 

Showcasing the very best of what the various Manila Bulletin artists had to offer.

And this next panel was my mom's favorite since she could immediately tell that the president character being portrayed here was a spoof of then president Noynoy Aquino.

We last saw each other during Komiket 2018.

Yep, that very brief return I did to hype then sell Phantasm.

My nephew was actually able to receive this event exclusive postcard for free.

Which incidentally was a MALATE postcard.

One of the last title he was working on before his untimely passing. 

He would remain to be a familiar face during conventions and similar events

(I mean, just look at this! That probably took him forever to finish. And this was done back in 2013.)
and he will surely be missed.

yebah!

Itok-tok mo!

This be a late post of the daily strips from January 21, 2017.
(INQUIRER)

Nothing out of the ordinary, I guess?
But my personal favorites were the strips from Sir Jess Abrera, Jesie Castro and Patrick Mcdonnel.
BUT WAIT A SECOND....

Was that....what I think it was....
Did Manix just cracked a "Tokhang" joke outta nowhere?
Because if yes then that's both subtle as it is fuck'n brilliant!
Rak en rol, indeed!
