Comic strips from http://interviewwithmanixabrera.i.ph
If you are not a fan of thick hardbound novels with words you barely comprehend, try one of the country's satire comic strips compiled into a book with weird caricatures for cover( sorry for the long introduction), Kikomachine Komix.
The author, Manuel Luis Abrera or simply "Manix", started his career as a cartoonist when he was in grade 4. He is the son of the legendary Jesse Abrera who is the artist behind A.Lipin and a regular editorial cartoonist on the Philippine Daily Inquirer. Manix' comic strips were published daily on the Philippine Daily Inquirer. His strips talks about the harshness of college life and life itself.
Manix Abrera already released 6 Kikomachine komix compilations, namely, Kiko Machine Komix 1 : Mga Tagpong Mukhang Ewan at Kung Ano-ano Pang Kababalaghan; Kiko Machine Komix 2 : Mga Tagpong Tila Nagpapaka-weird, Kunyari Pa-deep, Sarap Sapakin; Kiko Machine Komix 3: Die! Die, Evil! Die! Ahrrrgh!; Kiko Machine Komix 4: O Kaligayahang Walang Hanggan, Yeh!; Kiko Machine Komix 5: Alab ng Puso, Sa Dibdib mo'y Buhay, and his latest release, Kiko Machine Komix 6: 12.
Kikokomix were written in informal Tagalog, making it easier for the readers to relate to and understand. It doesn't talk about stuffs that is not on the current. With the help of Manix' comics, people are able to relate on what is happening in a lighter manner, with funny caricatures to deliver the message. The punchlines of the characters are really funny, you would literally roll your butt off from laughing. His drawing style is reader friendly-- sure, it does not cater to a younger bracket of readers but with our age, you would love how Manix iterate his message to the readers through his comics.
Funny thing is, I already have 4 of Manix' series, but the names of the regular characters appearing on the strips were not mentioned yet. Oh, well. The power of mystery.
