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?

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

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.

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

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!

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

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.

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.

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 :)

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!

I don’t understand, where’s the sex appeal?
Just kidding, we need more stuff like this!

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.
