Solo never failed to give us nostalgic attack with its Pinoy Cartoonist Memorabilia Series. Yearly, Solo pays tribute to Pinoy Pop Culture with homegrown Pinoy iconic cartoonists. Solo brought us back to the heyday of Filipino comics when komiks magasins used to be a big form of entertainment of most Pinoys. The creative collection spearheaded with the playful and witty characters of Larry Alcala’s Slice of Life in 2010, followed by no less than the greatest work of the Father of Filipino Cartoons, Tony Velasquez’s Kenkoy in 2011. This year, the series proudly features Tonton Young’s Pupung.

After the success of Solo’s first Pinoy Cartoonist Memorabilia Collection featuring Larry Alcala, Solo features the famous work of another Pinoy cartoonist, Tony Velasquez. Tony Velasquez is the Father of Philippine Cartoons and is the one who created Kenkoy. Kenkoy is this adorable and charming character decked in suspenders, charol shoes, double breasted suit, baggy pants, a sailor hat, and a slicked back hairstyle.
