A collection of webcomics from Libreng Komiks; the strips themselves skew pop culture, international and local, and local politics. The strips are populated by figures with constipated faces that exaggerate, to squeeze as much funny as possible from the jokes. This also gives the artist his signature style.The strips are usually one-off; one gag and that's it; but it does have a few recurring characters and may appear in future strips.
Most of the strips can be found online but this printed edition has more than a few extras that would make it worth your while to get a copy. It also reproduced the colors quite well and it really pops on the page.
If you're into Philippine komiks and humor, then this book could be for you.

You have most likely seen Toto Madayag's free comic strips posted in your Facebook feed (aside from those drawn by Manix Abrera). P*cha, e 'di Komiks collects these funny trinkets together with 50 more pages of exclusive content. PEDK really shines when it tries to deliver the punchlines in a way that is organic to the young professional readers - those who are bombarded with daily political and social issues both in reality and the internet. Whereas Kikomachine caters to issues in the academe (enlistment, dorms, etc.), PEDK deals with traffic, spoilers and pop culture references along with other shit like that.
The social commentary jokes range from lazily shallow to genuinely funny, and are my least favorite panels in the book (along with the 'babes' jokes). The presidential campaign jokes were just okay, given that the election was held already months ago. What I found most entertaining are the jokes about tv references, commuting and traffic, and unexpectedly the 'dad jokes'.
PEDK doesn't care to be (mildly) offensive, blatantly bashing local personalities, ranting about events and the media. There are even pages dedicated to activists!
P*cha e 'di Komiks appeals to those who are up to date with stuff in social media and those who experience the everyday struggles in the labor force. It doesn't go deeper into being more political (like what happened to Pugad Baboy), which is a great thing because at the end of the day, we read comics to be entertained and not to be preached.

Nalulong ako sa pagbabasa ng komiks noong elementarya at high school ako sa Quezon, isang bayan sa Alabat Island na sakop ng lalawigan ng Quezon. Inaabangan namin ang pagdating ng mga bagong komiks tuwing hapon mula sa Gumaca. At madalas ay patira na ng nanay ko sa Elpid yong mga may seryeng sinusundan namin. Madalas rin na pag nawawala ako sa bahay, isisigaw lang ng nanay ko ang pangalan ko. Alam niya na nagbabasa ako ng komiks sa katabing pasitahan na negosyo ng babaeng ang pangalan ay Elpid.
Marami akong nakilalang naging mahilig sa pagbabasa dahil nagsimula sa komiks noong bata pa sila. Mga baby boomers din. Noong kasi, sa isla, wala pang koryente. Kaya, walang TV. Wala ring sinehan. Radyo at komiks lang ang libangan ng mga kabataan o mga taong walang hilig sa sabong, madyong, atbpang pang-matandang libangan.
Kaya't heto, ngayon sa edad na 53, binabalik-balikan pa rin ang naunang minahal na porma ng panitikan.
Natawa naman ako rito, in fairness. Kahit pa sabihin na madaling araw ako noong matawa. Kahit galing sa graveyard shift. Puyat at pagod. Nakukuha ko pa ring magbasa para sa buwang dapat mahalin (at i-promote sa GR at FB) ang wikang pambansa o mga akdang Pinoy. Bakit ba, sa halip na kung anu-anong hanash ang i-post. Matutuwa pa nito ang mga manunulat na Pinoy. Tsansa na ring makapag-unload ng mga unread books na talagang wala nang magpaglagyan.
Nasa pahina 79 ang "Walang Babae" at pahina 85 ang "Kuwentong Barbero" ang mga tinawanan ko. Doon pa lang sulit na ang ibinayad ko rito. In full colors ang mga drowing. Kahit hindi totoong maganda ang imahe, nakakatuwa rin dahil hyper o hysterical ang mga tauhan. May mga references sa last presidential elections o mga national events o scandals na panahon pa ni Gloria o Noynoy na nagpagunita sa akin ng Pugad Baboy pero ayos na rin dahil naalala ko yong mga kapalpakan noong panahon nila.
Unang komiks ni Madayag na nabasa ko. Di ako magdadalawang isip na bumili't bumasa ulit ng akda niya. At lalong di magsasawa sa pagbabasa ng komiks. Perslab neber dais.

I decided to read this while waiting in line on a bank (bagong sweldo, bayad-bayad ng bills). And I was oh so wrong in my choice of reading material. Why?
Because I cannot stop laughing. People were giving me weird looks but were also looking at what I was reading (free advertisement. :p).
So yeah, should you get this book? YES. Is it worth every peso? YES. Should there be another one? OF COURSE.

Behind the humor lies the culture of the modern day Pilipino people.

Sabi ko na! Kaya pala familiar humor at art style nito kasi hango ito sa dalawang bagay na sinusubaybayan ko--Adventure Time at Poorly Drawn Lines. Mabagsik ang humor, 'yong iba pang-matalino, kagaya nga sa PDL. At saka 'yong mga mukha talaga sa komiks, panalo! AT na AT. Mabuhay ang sense of humor ni Toto Madayag!

Nauna ko basahin yung Volume 2! Pero angas pa rin 'to. Isang upuan man pero paulit-ulit namang babasahin. May sense na, nakakatawa pa. Magandang pampa-stress debrief lalo na sa panahon ngayon, nagkukumahog ang marami sa atin.

3.5 stars. Cute, funny short comic strips. Not really character or plot-based like other komiks or cartoons, but very witty and fun to read.

Needed something quick and something funny! Problem solved!! ;)

It's everything I want in a comic book. Having read multiple comic books from [other] local artists, some copy style from foreign artists and rather despise, I feel somehow that it's not Filipino. But!! Toto Madayag's P*cha Edi Komiks is the gateway to Filipino comics, drawn specifically with his own style that which reminisces Pugad Baboy days. It's witty and encompasses pure Filipino humor--slapstick comedy that takes the fun out of the norm and everyday struggle, reminding the resiliency of Filipinos. I was very excited to get a copy of the book, especially as soon as he announced its self-publishing. I'd definitely recommend it to publishing companies [if ever I knew one]
I rated it 3 stars because I was expecting more columns (was it?)--comics--that's not posted in his page. Or maybe I misinterpreted and it was after all, a collection. Either way, I hope the 2nd book would be entire comics that's not posted on the page because there's something in the feeling of getting something you can't find online. [If this is not a wishful, harmful, thinking.]
I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THIS TO SUPPORT LOCAL ARTISTS!!!! (that have their own style of art)

Palong palo!
Ang kulet and one of the most hilarious compilation of comic strips I've owned. Every penny is well worth it to be honest. The printing alone is quite stellar and well being a follower since the Game of Trolls era, I'd say the art style is what mostly got me hooked into it. Apart from the witty puns and funny installments that is.
I've personally met sir Toto Madayag and he was nice enough to entertain me and humble enough whenever I try and compliment his work - which is quite brilliant and witty, no kidding there. Congratulations sir for getting this book published. I have to say, it's nice seeing it on my personal collection.
For a proper review, all I can say is that you'd enjoy it. Any Filipino would enjoy it. It's as relatable as Turon is as common of a 3PM merienda food nationwide. The art style is like I've said, none the less brilliant. The printing is stellar. It's worth every peso. Pick it up for some happy evening later. ;)

Pak na pak sa pop culture comedy! And sobrang ganda ng quality ng printing! For sure may sequel na tong kasunod!
Una nagtataka pa ko bakit pa-rectangle pa yung libro nya, e pwede naman sa square book yung 4 panel komiks nya. Pero ayun! Malalaman niyo kung bakit, kapag binili at babasahin niyo yung libro! Masaya ishare yung libro sa tropa at pamilya mo! Medyo warning lang kasi may explicit content sa loob! *Gasp* may stuffs din pala sa book na di niyo makikita online! Kaya bili na kayo!!!
Super saya kasi noticed me at nagpa-sign pa ko ng libro sa kanya sa indieket 2016!!

Sobrang fan ako nito ni Sir kahit nung wala pa siyang libro at nasa FB page lang yung mga libreng comics. Sobrang bentang-benta sa akin ng mga comics nya kaya nung nalaman kung may libro na syang compilation ng mga comics ay naexcite ako. Kaso hassle nga kasi yung online ordering tapos magbabayad ka pa thru bank or other bayad center chuva.
Pero eto na sya at nabili ko na! Salamat sa MIBF 2016! Wuhoooo!

I was not disappointed with the content and the overall quality of the book (which also came with FREEBIES! yay! *Confetti*), but what I really LOVED about it is how 'natural' the punchlines are. Soo relatable and fun to read that I read the whole compilation in one sitting. (READ: Bitin, Sir Toto! haha)
Will watch out for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, xth Collections!
(7 out of 5 stars!)
