THE FIFTIES # 482: FERNANDO POE, JR., LANI OTEYZA, SHIRLEY GOROSPE IN LARRY ALCALA'S "TIPIN" (1957)/ Re-posted

Larry Alcala, popular and respected cartoonist and illustrator, made over 500 cartoon characters, twenty comic strips, six movies, two murals, and 15,000 published pages in his 56 years of professional cartooning career. His most popular cartoon series was Slice of Life, which is a reflection of the many unique aspects of everyday life in the Philippines. He also created long running comic strips, among others, Kalabog and Bosyo, Siopawman, Mang Ambo, Asiong Aksaya and Tipin which ran from 1951 to 1965 in Hiwaga Komiks.

Tipin is a mischievous, naughty and playful teen-age girl typical of the generation of the 1950s and was adapted into film by People's Pictures with Fernando Poe, Jr. (he sings and dances in the movie) and Lani Oteyza in the title role.

LARRY ALCALA ALA 'HITCHCOCK'

Left- Larry Alcala
Right-Alfred Hitchcock

"Slice of Life" is probably one of Larry Alcala’s most popular cartoons. Inspired by director Alfred Hitchcock who often did cameo appearances in most of his films, Alcala humorously portrayed himself in “Slice of Life,” cleverly concealing his caricature face within the cartoon. Every weekend, at Weekend Magazine (started in April 1980), readers never missed, tried to search his face, in crowded places, among the bushes, in pavements, in garbages, debris, etc.

SPOT HIM!
