100 Araw ng Komik(Day 7): CCCom Trivia
2 min read
There's an ongoing 100 day campaign to promote Philippine Comics on the web.
Each month will have a different topic. For July, all posts will be about our own comic titles and any trivia about Philippine comics, or what we call KOMIKS.
So as part of this event, I'll be posting CCCom trivia. It is day 7 of the campaign. So here's the continuation of....
Stuff you (probably) didn't know about Culture Crash Comics
- Issue one had a glaring typo at the cover… and tons of typos soon after. The Newtypo back cover on Issue 2 proved prophetic indeed.
- CCCom merchandise included: A Tammy Tamaraw stuffed toy, character trading cards, CCCom buttons, alarm clocks, and a 2004 CCCom calendar (which you can use again on 2032 since it has the same date cycle.) An Airee stuffed toy was planned for release, but it never went past the prototype stage.
(more next time...stay tuned)

100 Araw ng Komiks (Day 6): CCCom Trivia
2 min read
There's an ongoing 100 day campaign to promote Philippine Comics on the web.

So as part of this event, I'll be posting CCCom trivia. It is day 6 of the campaign. So here's the continuation of....
Stuff you (probably) didn't know about Culture Crash Comics
- The first two issues of CCCom had very minimal ad exposure. We only had word of mouth and a poster to promote the product. Oh, yeah those posters got snatched up pretty quick too, so I guess it was just word of mouth. It was not until issue 3 when CCCom had the chance to promote at the first ever AnimeXplosion 2000 convention.
- At the inside back cover of the first two issues of CCCom, we had a survey form/ contest that required you to snail mail a copy of the form to us for a chance to win anime audio cds and dvds of your choice. To our shock, people actually tore up the back covers of their comics and filled up the entry forms. If you still have your issue 2 of CCCom, you'll notice that we encircled "copy" on the contest mechanics.

Each month will have a different topic. For July, all posts will be about our own comic titles and any trivia about Philippine comics, or what we call KOMIKS.
So as part of this event, I'll be posting CCCom trivia for starters. I'll try to post as much as I can.
Here's....
Stuff you (probably) didn't know about Culture Crash Comics
- English was the original language of choice for CCCom, with an overwhelming 3 (Jio, Memer, and me) is to 1 vote against Tagalog. But then again, that 1 vote was James' so we had no choice. (Yay! Democracy!) The move to use Tagalog (unheard of at first since the dawn of bangketa komiks) proved to be hard at first, getting criticisms from hardcore anime fans and comic book creators alike. It was like reading dubbed anime, which was neither Pinoy nor Japanese. The move soon paid-off, since the issue died quickly. Fans found the colloquialism quite refreshing and easier to digest since most of the humor would lose its flavor were it done in English.
- I had to take a crash course on Photoshop from Jio and Elmer when we were coloring the first issue of CCCom since I had virtually no experience coloring comics on the PC and Mac. The first issues were pretty crude, with Comic Sans for font and template circles for balloons, countless filters and lens flares… but we had fun doing it, and learned a lot of things along the way. Whenever one of us would discover a shortcut or a way of making things easier on Photoshop, we'd call it "leveling up" and then hum the final fantasy victory jingle. We were such geeks.
