More Sunset Blues

See I told you... It becomes a series.

Sunset Blues

Do you believe that a joke begat another joke. This is a series of strips about the sun, it seems endless it lasted for a week or two.

BORJOK

BORJOK is my character I created during the early 80's. It means boring joke. Borjok was published as a tabloid comic strip sa MASA Newspaper a sisterpaper of MALAYA during the mid 80's. Ito ay mga kathang isip lng lurking in my head relevant with those time. I am taking this chance in this blog to retell the life I had... with Borjok. Telling it in a way through this character, a promdi boy from his early years and later heading to the big city. And later decided na mag abroad na lng sa Saudi Arabia. Naging silbing diary ko na rin po ang mga gawa kong kartons.

Makati Boy

Nakakita rin ng maayos at malinis na trabaho si Borjok, Makati boy pa! Pala... talagang boy... taga ayos at taga linis. At least matinong trabaho.

Santang Wala

Paano kaya kung 'd na nakahanap ng matinong trabaho ang bida natin? S'ya ba'y tatanda na lang sa lansangan? September na... magpapasko na naman. Kahit paano tuloy ang pasko.

Bright Ideas

Any bright ideas kung biglang mag brownout ?

Madali mag isip ng makain, mahirap lng hanapin.

Life was'nt easy for a boy who grew up in the province, and for the first time went to a big city to find his luck. I quit school and headed to Manila, I remember my Dad said... “ How can you make it there? You don't even have a diploma?” I replied, lapis lng at bondpaper ang dala ko, but I will put my name in the newspapers! And I did made it. You will notice that Borjok strips are pantomime, with no words... it's just because I have difficulties with my tagalog at that time. Napaganda pa nga dahil mahirap daw gumawa ng 3 panel jokes with no words.

Silip Blues

We all have to admit... masarap manilip! When I first came to Manila, the first thing I noticed were the tabloids that flooded the streets. Actually these tabloid series of Borjok was my own commentary about the tabloids using sex to sell their papers, which until now it's still evident.
