‘Kare-kare’ is a traditional Filipino dish that incorporates various assorted ingredients into a delicious, meaty stew. ‘Komiks’ is a term for sequential art made in the Philippines, referring to Pinoy mass-produced newsprint comic books. Put these two together and you have Kare-Kare Komiks, the semi-monthly webcomic only The Chemistry Set.

Kare-Kare Komiks is an ongoing collection of self-contained short comics by Andrew Drilon that explores new flavors of the sequential art experience.

Be here in two weeks for our next delicious installment! Kare-Kare Komiks : Filipino-Food-For-Thought! Only on The Chemistry Set.

Maraming salamat!

Well done, Andrew! I’ve been looking forward to your latest page for a while, and am pleased with it’s result! Great effect work. I really dig the sky behind the Cathedral, and your robot word balloons were cool, too!

This is fabulous–it’s got a real Jasper Fforde vibe to it. Looking forward to seeing where it goes from here…

He he. I was worried he was going to kill her because of her name, Marca Piña– and then I remembered he was a Mang Tomas himself. :-)
