"It's only through writing that I've ever been able to suppress life's personal disappointments. When I can't write I feel anxious and out of sorts and am easily riled, though I'm usually able to control my emotions..."["Hanya dengan menulis aku mampu menekan segala kekecewaan peribadi hidup. Bila aku tidak menulis, aku merasa cemas & tidak keruan serta mudah gusar, walau selalunya aku bisa mengawal emosiku..."]
- Pramoedya Ananta Toer (The Mute's Soliloquy: A Memoir)



I don't mind • Stealing Bread • From the mouths of decadence... • But I can't feed on the powerless • When my cup's already overfilled • But it's on the table • The fire's cooking • And they're farming babies and the slaves are all working... • Blood is on the table, the mouths are chokin'... • I'm goin' hungry... • I don't mind • Stealing Bread • From the mouths of decadence... • But I can't feed on the powerless • When my cup's already overfilled • But it's on the table • The fire's cooking • And they're starving babies • And the slaves are all working... • And it's on the table • The mouths are choking... • I'm going hungry...
Judul majalah ni ialah 'Komik Tangun: Manhoa Chongbor' (Vol.42 dated 12/11/08). Terjemahannya boleh semak di http://www.intercomicon.org/bbs/bbs_view.asp?board_id=online_col&cate_no=&gul_no=407&s_key=&s_word=&route=&page=1
Judul artikel Ayour dalam tulisan Hangul ni ialah 'Maloeingesenga: Manhoa Sangobngee ngyoksa'. Yang penting nama Ayour dalam Hangul disebut Pak-lul Nganul (Fakhrul Anour). Kalau Ayour jadi Ngayol... Huhu!
Ayour banyak menerangkan tentang sejarah bermulanya kartun & komik di Malaysia secara komersil sejak sebelum kemerdekaan lagi. Pastu tentang jenis² komik/kartun di Malaysia & evolusinya. Juga serba sedikit tentang kebanjiran komik/manga/manhwa cetak rompak sampai ada penerbit menghasilkan majalah manga cetak rompak tanpa disedari pengguna. Last but not least about GEMPAK STARZ™ yang menjadi penerbit komik tempatan yang paling berhasil & satu-satunya mempunyai novel grafik melebihi 100 judul!

Pada tahun 2003 Ayour pernah menulis sebuah artikel mengenai industri karakter di Korea Selatan. Maklum la masa tu orang kita dok gila² dengan Hello Kitty & Mashimaro tapi masih dok kutuk pelukis komik/kartun ni hanya membuang masa. Dengan artikel ni Ayour nak orang kita sedar hanya dengan mencipta sebuah karakter, korang gak boleh jutawan besar! Buktinya, Korea Selatan merupakan negara ketiga terbesar dalam industri rekaan karakter selepas US & Jepun. Insya-Allah kitorang pun nak galakkan kreatif kita naikkan nama Malaysia dalam industri ni. Boleh ka?!
Not for sale! Only for MPH loyal customers & who collect MPH QUILL. This is issue 21 (Jan - March '09)! This issue really talks a lot about comic. Even Dr. Mahathir also turned into cartoon. For comic goers, you should get this issue. Pretty important for our knowledge of the industry itself.

That's me on the contributors' page!

My article was well edited here. Thanx to the editor, Tan May Lee (editorial@mph.com.my)
