my kids grew up watching me make komiks, and at some point they started making their own, without prompting or instruction from me. eventually i redrew some of those comics (with permission) and released them at komikon alongside the original creators: and then, as befits my bloodline, a decade went by without any new issues. BUT then sometime after puberty, they started fooling around on my old drawing tablet, and lo and behold, they maketh pinups, and it was good. so i offered to sell some of them at my komikon table this past weekend. and people bought them, like mike! thanks mike.

Hi Macoy,
ReplyDeleteI bought your comicbook last saturday at comic-odyssey. I read Budjette Tan's review and i loved Elmer so I was wondering how can they be related. I was so happy to have bought it, great story and loved the bloopers section as well. Great Work!Keep it up!

hi danry,
ReplyDeletethanks for buying the book! glad ya liked it. so was it quite different from elmer? i've only read the first book of that series.
Hi Macoy,
ReplyDeleteThere are similarities like lead characters being ANGRY all the time,simple but creative storytelling and fantastic art.I suggest you complete reading the Elmer book. Its quite a read. Is Mascot your first comicbook?
Thanks
Danry
yup, and hopefully not the last :D
ReplyDeleteI bought my copy at Sputnik. I read the browsing copy twice, til I decided to buy my own copy. And then , when I got home, I read it again. Inulit-ulit ko.
ReplyDeleteNatuwa ako. Pero di ko pa din ma-grasp yung concept ng story. haha!
pareho lang tayo, di ko rin sigurado kung ano yung concept. kaya nga natuwa ako dun sa rebyu ni budjette, nahanapan nya.
ReplyDeleteang cool nga,eh. kanya-kanyang interpretation. haha!
