Babbling Point

More local comics / zines... and from the looks of it, they plan to publish something in full-color.
I met some of them at the C3CON. Glad to know they're pushing through with new
projects.

The comic book scene is alive and kick'n. (The trick is to keep it going)

Below is their intro, found in their site.

BLUE SHUFFLE WILL ROCK YOUR WORLD!!!

Arcmuch Comics presents the most diversified collection of stories ever produced in Philippine Comics/Manga!

With six titles for every book, the Shuffle aims to wreak fun for fans everywhere of all ages, recognizing the diverse comic tastes of Pinoy and World culture.

Whether English or Tagalog; set locally or internationally; with patriotic or colonial Western/Oriental flavor; be it big robots, elves, grafitti, animated cartoon, shoujo or shonen tastes. You name it, we're bound to have something you'll love.

Wonderboy is for the funny-comic reader who likes parodies of traditional superheroic antics.

Angel Eyes is for the Buffy/Charmed fan who can't get enough of magic, mysticysm balanced with ordinary barkada life.

Star Princess offers the traditional girl power, pink doll heroine that everyone loves.

IO brings in the big mecha for the tech fan.

Sanduguan brings to life modern patriots in a very hip animated style set in a future not far from our time.

Elven Way takes you to another world where medieval gallantry and contemporary wit meet.

Sumanyaa warps your senses with verigoish manga style in irreverent graffiti that'll give you a dose of how it feels to be in contemporary Japan.

Watch out for us this September at your favorite comic/book shops and in Anime/Comic events everywhere.

This 2003, we're doing the SHUFFLE!

Couple of weeks ago, Ms. Diyco featured another campaign made by the creatives here at Harrison Communications. Here's her review about the Neozep "Neozerye" TV campaign: Romancing the mighty colds cure ADS AND ENDS, Nanette A Franco-Diyco BUSINESS WORLD Vol. XX, No. 139, Friday-Saturday, February 9-10, 2007 http://www.bworldonline.com/Weekender020907/main.php?id=marketing_diyco The four television commercials that serialize the life of pretty housemaid Luwalhati, culminating in a storybook wedding to her once-upon-a-time señorito from the imposing mansion belong to an ad campaign awards class all its own. There have been other spoofs of soap operas selling other brand categories in the past. But for several reasons put together, the Neozep series of commercials that began with honest-to-goodness ad teasers that looked and sounded like teasers for true-blue soap operas proved ultra entertaining and more importantly, "reinforced Neozep’s leadership and further s...

the sons and daughters of Kanlaon

Last Friday, we attended the 40th Anniversary of KBS, the Kanlaon Broadcasting System, where my mom and dad once worked. I was still a baby when my dad worked there. I barely remember the people there. One of the first people to greet me was Lando, my dad's old driver. Him, I remember. As the story goes, when I was a baby, I could not pronounce his name and just started calling him "Agoong". Hence, he got that nickname and that's what everyone called him. I remember how we used to play chess while waiting for dad to finish work and how I always forced him to make me win. (Makes me wish I forced him to teach me how to play chess better and learn how to not win things so easily.) As expected, as my mom re-introduced me to her old office mates, they all looked surprised and delighted to see me. They would then immediately extend their hand, palm down, and show me how small I was when I first met them. Some would pretend to carry me and tell them they were the ones who ca...

Will you Play it Safe in 2025?

One of my favorite songs which I learned about early this year. Our boss at the agency played this at one of our town hall meetings. It's reminder to all creators that we will always be told to "stick to safe ideas" (which is fine, if you just want to get the work done and go home) but there will always be this other voice at the back of your head that will ask, "Maybe there's another way to do this? Maybe there's a better way to tell this story? Maybe you can tell if from a different point of view and make this old story feel like new? Maybe you can spend a few more minutes working on it? How about it? Let's give it a try? Another hour trying to re-write? Let's give it a go!" What I love about this song is how the lyrics take on the conservative point-of-view and how the visuals show us the exact opposite. One of my favorite bits of this song is this part, where the lyrics starts to give you a "list of commands", like it's a list o...
