SAMAHANG KARTUNISTA NG PILIPINAS AND FRIENDS EXHIBIT


By this year 2008, the Samahang Kartunista ng Pilipinas or SKP will be 30 years old, a good enough record for an organization whose members don’t take its meetings too seriously. Either there are too many jokes thrown around, or more than half of the body is too soused to contribute anything of greater weight to move the organization forward. The founders probably meant it that way. Have a collegial body or a boys’ club, gather together once in awhile from the wives or the girlfriends and have a rocking good time. Drink, eat, play pekwa, exhibit whenever possible, do on-the-spot drawings when invited to do so, and travel too. Nothing profound or ideologically biased. March 1978 is the official birthday of SKP, although records with the Securities and Exchange Commission indicate that its registration papers were moving through even before that time. It was an auspicious start for the group. Fernando Zobel de Ayala, who also dabbles in cartooning, was a major supported and even financed an audiovisual on cartooning.
