Images at Multiversitycomics.com at http://wp.me/p42KN3-JIR Welcome to the Comics Syllabus podcast, where we read widely and we dig deep. Your host Paul, a literacy researcher and English teacher, introduces curious readers to a range of current and classic comics, and then engages in closer discussion and analysis of particular comics works. First, (at 0:00) a walk through the Syllabus, a reading list of comics Paul invites you to read along with him in the weeks to come. See the Syllabus full list below. This episode’s Close Read (at 32:20 ) is with Rachelle Cruz, as we dive into two graphic novels from Filipina/o creators, “Duran Duran, Imelda Marcos, and Me” by Lorina Mapa (Conundrum, 2017) and “Elmer” by Gerry Alanguilan (SLG, 2010). We start by catching up with Rachelle about her forthcoming comics textbook, “Experiencing Comics,” and then examine Alanguilan’s moving and vexing fable of chickens who acquire consciousness and Mapa’s moving autobiography about growing up in the Philippines and Canada, noticing powerful similarities in the two stories. IMAGES TO GO WITH OUR DISCUSSION OF “ELMER” AND “DURAN DURAN, IMELDA MARCOS, AND ME” are at http://wp.me/p42KN3-JIR In the discussion, Rachelle also mentions the documentary Komeriko Chronicles ( http://www.facebook.com/Komikero-Chronicles-1602564500070445/ ), Budjette Tan’s TRESE anthology (found at http://www.mervstore.com/products/kabuwanan ), and the comics work of Arnold Arre ( http://arnold-arre.com/ ), so check those out!

Happy new year, peepulation! Our first guest for 2012 is Gerry Alanguilan, creator of the Wasted series, inker on countless Marvel and DC titles and, more recently, creator of the 2011 Eisner-nominated comic book Elmer. We talk about how the perception of local comics has changed through the years and how it's keeping up with the ever-changing and growing landscape of the Internet. The Greatest Man on the Internet also talks about his hugely famous viral Youtube video and its unintentional effects on the promotion of Elmer. That leads us to discussing marketing local comics and how its creators could do well by raising their standards through constructive criticism. And we (by "we" I mean Gerry and Hub only) also talk about our favorite TV show PSYCH! You know that's right! Check Gerry out in his website www.komikero.com WIPfitIT created and hosted by Hub Pacheco and Teddy Pavon. Copyright 2011. All Rights Reserved.

VOTE![poll id="173"] VOTE ELMER Jake Gallo is an angry young man, frustrated at his lack of employment and easily provoked by perceived slights. It is not until we are several pages into the book that we discover that he is also a talking, thinking chicken. He is no anomaly; decades earlier, all of chickenkind suddenly gained intelligence and speech; by the 2000s they are legally human. Jake’s father’s illness and subsequent death lead Jake to read his father’s account of the early days after the change; this in turn allows Alanguilan to show the reader the often horrific sequence of events that followed chickenkind’s sudden elevation to sapience. Used to seeing chickens as food or worse, humans are not shown at their best as they react, often violently, to this sudden alteration of the natural order.
