The questionnaire can be found here. These answers are from Drew Santos!
1) Well, Josel's comics have been very influential in my reading -- that and a lot of comics from Oni Press and SLG. I also, shamefully, like reading Shojo Manga on the internet.
2) Yep, I wouldn't read them if I didn't like them. Mainly because they're drawn well. The appreciation of the plot comes second in place of the art. It's kind of like looking at books at a bookstore - you buy the book with the best cover and then you later on appreciate what's inside the book.
3) Yes. I like Hope Larson's Chiggers, Jen Wang's Koko Be Good, and My Faith in Frankie. Oh yes, and a lot of Shojo Manga.
My fave creators are Becky Cloonan, Hope Larson, Jill Thompson, Kristian Donaldson, James Jean, Jen Wang, Matthew Woodson, Alessandro Barbucci, Nate Powell and Fabio Moon & Gabriel Ba.
4) The way they produce their art is pleasing to the eyes. Too many to list.
5) I like the local comic with the sheep on it. More cute things = more merch I say. And girls are always in for the cute merch. I can't say, personally, I like how the rest is drawn -- plot-wise, I like 'em. Love your own they say.
6) I'm good with that. I wouldn't say I'd make it specially for girls. I'd start with online comics. That's how people get noticed anyways -- online comics. :)
7) I think there are a lot of those in badly drawn Manga form. But it wouldn't hurt if there were more.
8) More of the local artists' style rather than those deformed Manga ones. Sorry, I just had to say it.
9) Ugly art and unoriginal plots. :)
10) Hmmmm I think local komix is heading towards a bright future now that witty people are making witty comic books. I'd like to say I like Apol Sta. Maria's Alamat ng Panget because its weird sense of humor. Yes, I just had to say that. Anyhow, I see a bright future for Pinoy comics. I dunno about girly themes -- but those Manga comics are girly girly themed and all so yay for that bright future in girly comics.
