About this episode
AKA Kevin Eric Raymundo, the famed political cartoonist now goes by the nickname TK, the initials of his viral character. He tells Howie Severino how his life changed after he became political in his comics and he required armed guards at a book-signing event, probably the first Filipino cartoonist to need security.
He also talks about his other craft of animation and how it's different from, and similar to, comics.
He reveals that he hasn't been allowed to trademark his brand because it "makes fun of bald people," even if he's the "kalbo" in the trademark.
Tarantadong Kalbo is just the latest proof of the power of cartooning, and how inflammatory it can be in the age of social media.
