    Steve,
    Ngayon, dito sa Tate, puro babae ang barbero. Ang mahal pang maningil, hahaha.
    Bakit kaya hindi nag-dibuho itong si Javinal dito sa States. Coching already retired by the time Zuniga ang company invaded the States. Pero si Javinal hindi yata nagtankang gumawa dito. Bakit kaya? Buhay pa itong si Javinal, sana'y mayroong magtanong kong bakit. We could at least or the American comics fan could at least have seen the style of Coching even through Javinal. Kuhang-kuha niya si Coching, e.
    BTW, the date on the cover is exactly my birthday. I had just finished Elementary School. Also the cover illustration is by Alfredo Alcala

    Pulido itong gawa ni Federico Javinal kaysa kay Francisco Coching, mas tama ang folding ng damit ng drawing niya kaysa sa kanyang amo. Nilagpasan yata ng estudyante na ito ang kanyang teacher.

    Rod Samonte:

    Federico Javinal is no longer with us.

    You're right. He never bothered to do US work. Same thing with NESTOR LEONIDEZ. He was asked to do US comics in the 1970s but he wasn't interested. His younger brother, Rey told me this.

    JM,
    Ang huling nabasa ko sa Komikero website ay buhay at nakatira sa Pasig si Javinal. Yumao na pala. Sino pa ba ang natitira sa mga artist noong panahong iyon? Wala na akong maisip maliban kay Jodloman, Jessie Santos, at Tony Zuniga. Ang tagal na rin noon. Biro mo itong Pandora wala pa ako sa High School. What happened to Nestor Leonides, is he still around?

    Rod:

    Leonidez passed away several years ago.
    I think VIC CRISOSTOMO is still alive.

    This site is re-living the glorious comics illustrations of Philippine komiks. I only
    wonder why educators of olden days were the most vehement critics of komiks. They have never seen the beauty of this medium.

    JM,
    And the literary critics as well. None of our literary novelists, who have been conferred all kinds of awards for Philippine literature, have touched Filipinos more than these "komiks" novelists. "Komiks lang yan," was the general dismissive concensus.
