    Yeah, but they're still children :p

    Though you didn't follow the poll (which I rigged :p ), I have to say that SCHOOL RUN is really something: it managed to get me riled up and really affected by the fate of these "fictional" characters (except Mang Karl).

    Perhaps it was the way you drew the children or the simplicity of your lines. Or the flow of your "one-tracked mind."

    Whatever it is, I'm glad that I picked up "Ang Maskot" after I read about it at Budj's and Gerry's sites. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to join you in this emotional ride that is SCHOOL RUN.

25 komiks titles' best-sellerness

so there's this thing where you type in the title of your book, and they tell you its chances of becoming a best-seller based on just the title itself. naturally i took it 100% seriously and plugged in a bunch of komiks titles. the scores are arranged from highest to lowest below. i threw in a few control values as well ( in bold ) just to compare: kiko machine - 72.5% funny komiks - 69.0% ang alamat ng pangit - 69.0% a tale of two cities (best-selling novel of all time) - 63.7% pugad baboy - 63.7% wasted - 63.7 % after eden - 63.7 % culture crash - 59.3% bayan knights - 59.3% kalayaan - 59.3% bearkdowns - 59.3% pilipino komiks - 45.6% lapu-lapu - 45.6% kubori kikiam - 45.6% elmer - 45.6% trese (name) - 45.6% nardong tae - 45.6% ang mundo ni andong agimat - 41.4% Ang Kagila-gilalas na Pakikipagsapalaran ni Zsazsa Zaturnnah - 41.4% the bible - 35.9% Album ng mga Kabalbalan ni Kenkoy - 35.9% mangaholix - 35.9% ang maskot - 35.9% operasyon -35.9% bukas luluhod ang mga tala - 26.3% ...

school run character survival poll!

-
Image
so here's the thing: when i started working on school run, i had it in mind to keep with zombie flick tradition. that is, to start with a group (in this case, of grade-school kids) and then kill them off one by one in horrible and entertaining ways until the sun sets on (or a rescue chopper comes for, whatever) a lone survivor at the end. and i specifically wanted the protagonists to be kids, because kids vs. zombies is something i haven't seen before. but when i told people about my plans i'd get these shocked reactions--i couldn't possibly do that. how could i do that? apparently you just don't feed kids to bloodthirsty mutant hordes, not even fictional cartoon kids that don't exist. and so i am putting things to a vote. if enough people vote to save the kids they get a reprieve. you won't get to vote for or against individual characters, just how many survive. the poll will be on the sidebar of this blog until the end of june. vote now people, the lives ...
