SOLO unveils the 2nd installment of the well-loved Pinoy Cartoonist Memorabilia series featuring no less than the greatest work of the Father of Philippine Cartoons, Tony Velasquez’s KENKOY. Old meets new as Solo Pinoy Cartoonist Memorablia takes the timeless Kenkoy comic strips and mixes it up with directional styles for a contemporary collection.
Antonio “Tony” Velasquez, the Father of Philippine Cartoons, created Kenkoy in 1929. Tony Velasquez described Kenkoy as “pusturyoso”. He was a debonair and his trademark fashion sense was Western influenced—decked in suspenders, charol shoes, double breasted suit, baggy pants, a sailor hat, and a slicked back hairstyle. Kenkoy gained massive following because of his wit and humor, as well as his antics, colonial way of thinking, and carabao-english.
To celebrate the Father of Philippine Cartoon Tony Velasquez’ Kenkoy, Solo brings you the much anticipated and bigger Online Model Search 2011!
