Get WASTED online



“Wasted is a nihilistic poem of violence and love gone wrong, one of the most intense and uncompromising portrayals of insanity that I've seen in print with a touch of failed romance that makes it something we can all relate to in our darkest moments.” --Randy Lander, SNAP JUDGEMENTS at The Fourth Rail, 2004

"A recent graphic novel of note, by Filipino writer/artist Gerry Alanguilan. A marvellous little black book of lost love, unhinged hatred for everything everywhere, and making things right using only guns. Early work by a potentially brilliant creator." --Warren Ellis, 1998

Mr. Lander and Mr. Ellis were obviously talking about Gerry Alanguilan’s WASTED, which quickly sold out back in 1998 and even though it was reprinted later on, is currently out of stock.

So, for those of you who didn’t get to pick up the original / Xeroxed edition during the mid-90s and if you didn’t get to buy the trade paperback in 1998 and if you weren’t a big fan of Pulp magazine --where it was serialized-- and if you somehow didn’t know if was re-released by Pulp in its “Final Edition” format, well 2007 is your luck year because the entire story of WASTED is being serialized at: http://wastedonline.blogspot.com/

WAIT! DON’T! CLICK! THAT! LINK! JUST! YET!

If you’ve never, ever read a single page of WASTED, then you need to start reading it here:
http://www.webcomicsnation.com/komikero/wasted/series.php?view=single&ID=79514

Gerry started uploading it a week ago, so you can now read the complete first chapter of WASTED. The neat thing about reading it at the Web Comics Nation website is that Gerry provides “bonus DVD commentaries” for every page; revealing trivia about the art, the story, and reason behind it all.

So, once you’re up to speed, go bookmark http://wastedonline.blogspot.com/ and make it a daily habit to click on that link to read the latest page.

If you’ve already read WASTED, then I’m just preaching to choir, so be a good disciple and spam your friends about the online version of the graphic novel. You might want to send it someone who’s feeling a bit down today and need some cheering up.

WASTED is like a Hallmark Card, except it’s a bit bloody and violent and has a sex scene and lots of people get shot; but it definitely has very poetic words. Reading it will either make people smirk or laugh or cringe or say, “Wow! I thought I was having a bad day,” and feel a whole lot better.

Spread the word, kiddies!

Eric is back is town.

PANDAY RIDING THAT HEROIC CYCLE Below is an email ELSA BIBAT posted in the Alamat mailing list , prompted by a thread about making/writing/creating a new Panday story. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Okay, okay, I'm back...and I was hoping to have a break from writing stuff. Anyway, it is incredible that someone actually remembered the post. It's been lost to time for exactly a two years now. Thank you for notifying me. Let's begin with the original videotapes. My original videotapes are lost to time, but, I caught all three of the trilogy in ABS-CBN's FPJ Theater... or was that Saturday Action Cinema? GMA 7 went the entire nine yards and showed the entire series in one of their old Tagalog action film shows that were on Saturday nights. The sight alone of the aliens of Panday IV raising the undead and turning innocent villagers to badly made-up extras makes my belly ache. As an aside, FPJ should exercise the rights a...

I AM A FILIPINO

I am a Filipino – inheritor of a glorious past, hostage to the uncertain future. As such, I must prove equal to a two-fold task – the task of meeting my responsibility to the past, and the task of performing my obligation to the future. I am sprung from a hardy race – child many generations removed of ancient Malayan pioneers. Across the centuries, the memory comes rushing back to me: of brown-skinned men putting out to sea in ships that were as frail as their hearts were stout. Over the sea I see them come, borne upon the billowing wave and the whistling wind, carried upon the mighty swell of hope – hope in the free abundance of the new land that was to be their home and their children’s forever. This is the land they sought and found. Every inch of shore that their eyes first set upon, every hill and mountain that beckoned to them with a green and purple invitation, every mile of rolling plain that their view encompassed, every river and lake that promised a plentiful living ...

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...
