Here is another vintage Kenkoy strip from my archive of Philippine cartoons from a 1929 issue of the Liwayway.

One of my grandest plans in life is to build a museum of Philippine cartoons which would mainly showcase the works of the pioneer cartoonists of the Philippines like Jose Rizal, Fernando Amorsolo, Jorge Pineda, Jose Pereira, Irineo Miranda, Izzy Izon, Jose Zabala Santos and of course, the Father of Philippine Komiks, Tony Velasquez.

Somebody offered me this old specimen of Silangan Komiks for 2000 pesos. Even as a hardline vintage komiks collector, I admit it is a little way beyond my budget. But this is a 1950 komikbook with a marvelous Coching cover, so how can I pass? After a little haggling on the price, I finally got it for 1750 pesos. I am very happy.

This is a satirical cartoon that appeared in the October 26, 1907 issue of the Lipang Kalabaw comic-magazine. Signed by La Ignation, a pseudonym used by artist Jorge Pineda, this cartoon provides a glimpse of history in the early years of the American Occupation.

Determined to transform Manila from a tawdry Asiatic port into a model metropolis, the Americans enforced strict sanitation regulations that angered Manilenos.
