People, please don't bash Carlo J. Caparas because he was given the National Artist award. He really deserves it. Man, If you could wear that cap, denim jacket and unruly hair outside of your mother's basement then you are destined for stardom baby!
Carlo J. did not do anything wrong, in fact he did not do anything at all. He just copied some DC and Marvel Superheroes and made them talk in Filipino. He topped it off by giving them corny names that made songs of Renz Verano sound cool. This feat alone deserves him a spot next to legendary artists like Bayani Fernando, the genius behind the iconic MMDA art and Willie Revillame a man whose soul and passion for music produces songs that are so good, you just want to kill yourself. He is a visionary behind those 70's sunglasses and has predicted that people will be so dumbed-down by popular TV, his comics will be in rank with Rizal's Novels and Lino Brocka's Films.
So let us all salute this master craftsman! He not only popularized cheap-ass comics but also preserves 90's fashion at its worst (even April Boy Regino will be grossed out by his fashion statement). He truly deserves a slot among the knights of Philippine art and culture. He has inspired me to write on bathroom walls and rip-off Spiderman and hope one day I too will become a national artist!
