i know most of us (if not all) like to read comics like Beerkada, Carpool, Pugadbaboy, etc. But even before these comicbooks existed, there was already a comic book Filipino children and even adults enjoyed to read. And that is "Pilipino Funny Komiks." For those who're not familiar with Pilipino Funny Komiks, it's a comic book which is composed of different comic book characters and stories (And they are all in Tagalog). I think it's quite popular in the late 1970's up to the late 1990's. But I stopped it's publication in 2004. Anyways, here's a short info:
PILIPINO FUNNY KOMIKS is the oldest running comic book for kids published in the Philippines, released weekly by Islas Filipinas Publishing Co., Inc. Its maiden issue appeared on June 26, 1978. Each issue was an anthology of comics strips for children which included works of some of the great Filipino cartoonists, like Larry Alcala and Roni Santiago. Most of the stories were self-contained while others were serial in nature. The stories were geared towards kids, but certainly adults would have enjoyed the satire that some of the artists incorporated into their work.
And here's some famous character's:
Batute (197 w: Rene Villaroman; a: Vic Geronimo
Bing, Bam, Bung (197 w: a: Larry Alcala
Bulol at Tangak (197 w: a: L.S. Martinez
Don Juan Kamagong (1978) w: a: Cal Sobrepena
Lililt Bulilit (1983-1984) w: a: Tonton Young
Mahimud en da Pantasi Aylan (1982-) w: L.P. Calixto; a: Sonny Trinidad
Niknok ( ) w: Pat V. Reyes; a: Vic Geronimo
Planet Opdi Eyps (197 w: a: Roni Santiago
Si Dax at ang Kaniyang Kagila-gilalas na Adventures (1981-1982) w: Joey Martinez; a: Buddy Gernale
Superdog and His Pal Tuting (1983) w: Christian del Cruz; a: Roni Escaurriaga
Superkat (1978-1983) w: a: L.S. Martinez
Toyang Talangka (1978) w: Rico Bello Omagap; a: Czar Bautista
And one of my favorite: Combatron (not the laxative).
Anyways, who's your favorite Funny Komiks character?

I used to like Force 1 Animax kaso pangit ng ending... namatay sila lahat dahil pinasabog yung eroplano na sinasakyan nila.. I guess, wala na maisip na magandang ending yung artist kasi paalis na rin yata siya ng pinas... :(
anyways, here's a scanned copy of niknok i got from the web. Enjoy.. :)

Hello, gud pm.. meron ba kayo issue nung nag-start yung Superdog and his pal Tuting. Kung meron pa po kayo, baka pwede ko na lang bilhin. It was really my favorite nung time na yun, lalo na yung mga unang part hanggang sa makalaban niya si Devil Kat. My celphone number is 0919-9738249.
