. “where’s the fun in that?” From the website of ABONO COMICS Rules are simple. (1) We'll help you, you'll help us, we'll help others, others will help us in return.

So, I finally got around to delivering copies last Saturday and even Mike was shocked to see mint copies of the book. I remember the first time Dino ever showed us TOWER. It was during a rave party in some warehouse near the Philippine Daily Inquirer. At the car park, Dino brought out his laptop and started the slideshow of TOWER's pages. Ahhh... the great old days.

. FROM THE FWD EMAIL DEPT: 10 Biggest Brain Damaging Habits 1. No Breakfast People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level. This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration. 2. Overeating It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power. 3.
