Fantastic Lastik Comic Book



Why on earth would anyone want to get Mango Comics latest publication: MARS RAVELO’S LASTIKMAN?

Well, for only P150, which is the price you’d pay for a regular 22-page super-X-whatever-bat-book, you get a complete prestige formatish 56-page full color slam bang extravaganza!!!

Are you a fan of Gerry Alanguilan’s stories? Then you better get this book! Because if you want a dark, dramatic, blood and guts Wasted type story, then you better go get an extra copy of WASTED (still available in selected secret branches here and there).

But if you’re a fan of Gerry’s CREST HUT BUTT SHOP, then consider this CREST HUT’s elastic spastic cousin. Yup, all the crazy, zany, wacko slice of superhero life (including chickens) have been crammed into the panels of this 56-page book.

It’s a slam bang bang kerplang action packed story. Well, it’s more like slam bang bang HAHAHHA kapow kablam CRY CRY kablooey action packed type of story.

Another reason you should check out this book is the AAA! The Arnold Arre Art! Yup, Arnold’s back in fighting form. Last time we saw his work was AFTER EDEN and Arnold’s back with elastic vengeance (I’m sorry, I really don’t know what that means I just felt like I has to use the word elastic again.)

Anyway, Arnold really puts Lastikman through the paces and stretches him in every possible way. (Check out Lastiksquid!) As usual, Arnold jams the pages and panels with all sorts of comical details which definitely require a second and third reading to get all the visual jokes. (Let’s see if you can quickly spot the James Tailoring Shop… hehehe!)

And deserving of a second and third look is very sexy and very stretchable Atomika. Wow! All I can say is… WOW! (Well, there’s more to be said about this badbadgirl but let’s just stick to WOW for the moment.) Or how about… all I can say is WHOA! MAN! What a Woman! (Ok! Ok! I should’ve stopped with just saying WOW…)

You want more reasons to get a copy of MARS RAVELO’S LASTIKMAN? Well, do you like color? Yup, color! You like colorful stuff? Well, then you get color, bye golly, thanks to Edgar Tadeo (ably assisted by the randy Ryan Orosco), who brought Arnold’s art to full Technicolor life-- great work on the pages that show the hostage situation on the TV screen.

You still want another reason to get this book? Well, it’s only P150! For P150 you usually get… oh… wait … I already talked about that.

So, there.

Go.

Get it.

Get MARS RAVELO’S LASTIKMAN!

Now!

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 Mini Manifesto

LET'S BURN THE MAPS. Let's get lost. Let's turn right when we should turn left. Let's read fewer car ads and more travel ads. Let's not be back in ten minutes. Let's hold out until the next rest stop. Let's eat when hungry. Let's drink when thirsty. Let's break routines, but not make a routine of it. LET'S MOTOR.™ This is the copy for the MINI “Let’s Motor” campaign. The creatives who created this campaign said they weren’t just writing copy on how great it would be to own a Mini, they were writing a manifesto, a way of life for people who drive a Mini. I just love how the copy has rhythm, how it just flows and rolls off the tongue, how it just wants you to go out and drive and just keep driving. Makes me also wish I could write copy like that. More wonderful copy ads can be found at: http://www.libraryofmotoring.info/miniprintads.html

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...
