I'm taking a temporary break from the current storyline and giving in to the requests of friends and relatives for me to do a strip related to politics. Besides the fact that today's the anniversary of the original EDSA People Power, I thought I'd do a social commentary on the people's reaction to the coming Presidential elections. For this strip I picked an inherently unique trait common to Filipinos—our tendency to laugh in the face of problems. I might do this again when election time draws near. Maybe I'll do some caricatures too. Maybe.
