Yeah, I got appointed as the literary editor of the first official UE JPIA paper. Not glad with the extra responsibilities, but I was happy nonetheless because I get to draw comic strips.
.
There was one huge problem though. I’m a certified procrastinator.
.
The week after the appointment, I totally blew off my weekends, dozed off, and did random stuff I can’t even remember doing anymore. The night before classes resumed, Shei, the editor-in-chief, texted the staff that all articles are due the day after. Technically, I hadn’t done anything yet. Zilch. Nada. Totally zero. But I didn’t want to disappoint Mr. editor-in-chief (for personal reasons >.<) so I rushed off and did my best to finish one short story, a picture of that short story, a speech bubble character, and at least two comic strips. I started at 9pm and finished at around 3am I think. No more drafts and revisions and scratch papers and stuff.
This might be the corniest comic strip I’ve done to date. But who cares, I didn’t place my name in it. (–,)
.
You might be asking, why name her like that? It was the time pressure okay, and I couldn’t come up with a better name with the initials CPA. :p
.
And this one is a UE student caricature. I really have no heart for editorial cartooning because they make drawing really heavy and inky and messy—not my style—but I had to, so there ‘ya go.
.
Oh yeah~~ Boy Backup strikes again.
If you don’t get the banat, well you know, of all the fixed assets–buildings, machineries and equipment, etc.–only land appreciates in value over time instead of depreciating. And lupa = land. Gets? Hehe.
.
I wanted to post this already, and I believe I wouldn’t break any breach of secrecy or anything by doing so. Still, I apologize that I posted it in here even before the publishing date of the paper. It barely matters though. Only a couple of people know about the existence of this blog anyway. :p
