Comics/Graphic novel

Do I really read comics? No, I dont. But I do collect them. I just love to look at it and see how it evolves from time to time. The drawing, the art itself, the advert in the comics and the words are intresting for me. The evolution of comics that I see in the comics that I have which is frm the 5o's, 70's, 8o's, 90's and up to the 22nd century are just amazing.

The 'old school' are more 'real' to me as the drawings are drew and not being edited by computer. They also have a lot less of colours and the writer also uses a 'cartoon' kind of expression. However, the comics these days have become more serious but in a fantasy way.

Above is an example of a 1952 Sensation Comics publish by National Comics Publications. You can see the colours that been used are minimal and the drawings are more human like compare to these days mangga or very 'cartoonish' look alike. On the other hand, the one the right is from the 80's.

This reflect not only the comics industry, but even the world nowadays where aesthetic values are viewed differently. It is a very subjective matter to be discuss of. However, I do believe that a lot of people out there appreciate everything which is considered 'old school' stuff from cars, watches, painting, pen, to even comics.

No matter what do you called it, comics, graphic novel, or child book, the production of these thing reflect the era, the people, the industry when it is being publish.

It is always about how u look at things.... =P

1Malaysia

In my point of view, 1Malaysia is not a target nor a dream but it is actually a reminder for every Malaysian that we live in a very unique country which is diversified yet united. Through his blog, Datuk seri najib mention that establishment of an independent organisation that would epitomise the spirit of 1Malaysia, which is Yayasan 1Malaysia, is an effort to promote national unity and advancement of civil society.

We Malaysian have been developing in harmony through our 52 years of independence. Although there were problems that arises during that process, I've take that as a 'compulsary' thing to happen not just for a nation which nowadays have around 27millions of population but even for a human being to evolve. Can u please name me a country/nation that never in their entire existence face any problem?

However, every country would face different type, shape or kind problems because they are different countries we are talking about. As a citizen of a country, I believe that we never should compare our country with an another without specific ground as all nation are uniqe.

I do not deny that there are always leak holes or even at least one leak in any idea or plan, but it is our job as a human being to bring the best out of everything we have. Hopefully, 1Malaysia will remain as a reminder for all of us to make the best out of everything through unity and tolerance.

Its all about how we look at something, form which direction and what angle. =P
