(4/5 ★★★★☆)
The Plot:
Inspired by the works of Pol Medina Jr. and Manix Abrera, everyday problems, such as election, job interviews and pimples, are laid out by Andoyman in this comic strip compilation.
The Good:
Early on, you will recognize where Andoyman got his inspiration for some of the comic strips here in Palitaw Komiks. The "Isplork" sound already gives you the image of tigidig patrol from Manix Abrera's Die! Die, Evil! Die! (Kikomachine Komiks #3).
The best insight and illustration of reality from the comic strips is the one about the celebration of Earth Hour. It is shown how enthusiastic the people are in saving mother earth only to leave the venue full of trash. A movement that does not fulfill much its goal due to the actions of its participants.
An addition towards the end of the compilation is an entry piece for a contest entitled "Run Justice Run." It looks great and could work well as an illustration for an editorial.
The Bad:
I'm just curious as to why this compilation was called "Palitaw Komiks". No mention or illustration about the dessert appears on any of the comic strip.
The Verdict:
This is an entertaining comic strip compilation from Andoyman. We get to see who his idols are in making comics.
Palitaw Komiks is a fun read. All 23 comic strips are bound to give you a lot of mixed reactions. It ranges from grossness, weirdness and laughter. It will surely make you wonder why this author has a thing for having good stories be filled with "tigyawat" and "kulangot".
