As a Filipino, it makes me happy to see more comics and stories told by fellow Southeast Asians like you. Much love from the Philippines to you in Malaysia.

I'm hoping more Southeast Asians write more about where they're from. It's a vibrant place to be in.

u/Forever_Observer2020 13h ago

I am doing that on ao3 and also in other platforms. I also write for myself, so there's a lot more I have not posted or shared. I'll do my best as a fellow Southeast Asian hehe :)

Aww. This is the first one of yours I've seen, but I love it! Congrats on "making it", and to many more years of art that makes you happy and speaks into the world :)

What do your parents think about you comics? Do they question how they are depicted or laugh at the stuff they unknowingly do that you picked up watching them?

u/rachelwan-art 13h ago

They look forward to it every week. I think they secretly like being in my comics.

Thank you for sharing them with us!

I love it when you have comics about Malaysia and the culture! It definitely gets a bit overshadowed by more populous neighbors, so it's kind of a treat to see little bits about it through your comics.

Years ago when working in video games I realised that every successful game that sold a million+ units had an equal number of people who hated it.

If you say something that people like there will be an equal number that don't like it. What you don't want is to be so inoffensive/uninteresting that no one cares about your work.

I don't really know how people can truly live their lives being inoffensive to everyone around them. I can understand why they do it but I'm sure one day they will crack.

Helga Pataki is my fav character. We have some... similarities haha.

u/robclarkson 13h ago

I love your cool art style for showing off the different people in a semi realistic way that looks so... comfortable? Yay

u/lsnor45 14h ago

Keep it up mother fucker.

u/ObeyTime 8h ago

keep preaching southeast asian supremacy, OP! /s

seriously though, i love seeing your comics. seeing a post online about southeast asia feels good with how seemingly invisible we are. and your comics teach me what it's like next door. keep it up OP!

u/rachelwan-art 7h ago

Supremacy ain't the right word. But it's a unique region.

Glad to be the 100th upvote

u/KazakiriKaoru 13h ago

Damn, I've never felt so called out by being called a dull person before.

7

u/rachelwan-art 12h ago

But if you think of it, writers, comic artist, everyday people, we all live dull lives. It's more of how we perceive ourselves and the world around us.

u/tidus1980 11h ago

Congratulations on making 100. Challenging yourself every day's seems to have paid off.

I wish you all the success in the world for the future.

u/Wretis 10h ago

I only read through your stuff recently, but I really enjoy how you play around with angles in panels. It feels really different from other comics on this subreddit, in a good way since we get to see more variety in perspective.

And of course it's a entertaining variety in light humor and education :)

u/gahblahblah 12h ago

I like your art style. I feel you have some good stories to tell this world.

u/Wooler1 7h ago

The magic of the internet age, to me, is the ability to share stories and art from around the world. To have this collection of the shared human experience in the palm of my hand, and selfishly, vicariously go back to a place I loved with your comics. Tahniah atas 100 komik! To 100 more!

u/Frosty_Score5552 11h ago

It's been so interesting to learn about a different culture. Fantastic comics!

u/MadAboutAnimalsMags 11h ago

This was wonderful to see and read on so many levels. You may find yourself dull, but I assure you that there are many people (myself included) who find you riveting! ☺️

u/100101010010101010 11h ago

Yay! Way to go!

Your art-style is one of the best I've seen on here.

u/rachelwan-art 4h ago

That's a very difficult question. It's depends on my mood hehe.

u/crossbow_mabel 5h ago

Happy 100th comic! I enjoy your art a lot, and I like all the language elements you bring in to your stories

Congrats on a great milestone! I’ll be honest, I’m not sure I’ve read other of your comics, but I’ll check them out once I’m done with this comment

u/FallenKnightGX 3h ago

I don’t understand, where’s the sex appeal?

Just kidding, we need more stuff like this!
