Philippine Daily Inquirer’s head cartoonist Jess Abrera was able to attend the closing activities  of Komikon Summer Fiesta 2009, just in time to bask in the glow of his son Manix Abrera’s successful Alab ng Puso book tour.

Pol Medina, Jr. was also able to launch Book 21 of his Pugad Baboy series. The Komikon team was even able to get him to sign his last-minute endorsement of the event in last Friday’s Pugad Baboy strip in PDI.

And thanks to every comics artist and comics lover for making Komikon Summer Fiesta a successful event.

Now on to Komikon Prime in October!
