Major revision notice

I'm planning to completely replace this article with my draft. The current version appears too focused on Filipino artists' exploits in the American comics industry, which are somewhat off-topic in the first place. Additionally, the section lacks sufficient references.

I am open to suggestions for enhancing my draft. Given my limited proficiency in English writing, I would greatly appreciate any copy-editing and minor corrections.--Deer hunter (talk) 17:17, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's done. --Deer hunter (talk) 07:23, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Important Omission - Request to Add

In your article, Kenkoy is mentioned as an influential early Philippine Comic. One of the co-creators of Kenkoy is excluded from your article. My great-great-grandfather Romualdo Ramos was the original writer for Kenkoy. It is confirmed that he and Tony Velasquez (the illustrator) co-created Kenkoy. Would you please include him in the history? Below is a suggestion of phrasing and are links for sources.

Suggestion: "Kenkoy was created by writer Romualdo Ramos and by illustrator Tony Velasquez, who was 18 years old at the time. This notable character was created upon commission from publisher Ramon Roces, and the short comic swiftly expanded to occupy a full-color page, then advanced into the magazine's various language editions."

I've made an edit based on your suggestion. I previously thought including Romualdo Ramos's name was optional for this article, as some sources (like John Lent's book on Asian comics) don't mention him at all. However, since he is undeniably one of the creators of the iconic character, I wouldn't argue against including him. That said, as noted in Wikipedia:Ownership of content, no one owns this (or any) Wikipedia article. If you believe you can improve it, you have every right to make edits yourself.
