What a time the 90’s was. Apart from music that had meaning, shows full of substance, and everyone exploring their style, it was also a significant period for Filipino comics. One of the artists who really made a “bang” is Pol Medina Jr., the creator of the influential comics series, Pugad Baboy.
Linya-Linya is honored to have this collaboration with one of the most praised Filipino comic artist.
To have Pol Medina Jr.’s work as a design in Linya-Linya is a huge milestone for the brand and an unforgettable check on the bucket list for the brand’s creators. Creative Director of Linya-Linya, Ali Sangalang shares his thoughts on this once-in-a-lifetime collaboration, “Isa na siguro ito sa pinakamahalagang collaboration namin. Napakalaki ng influence at impact ni Sir Pol sa akin bilang batang writer, sa team namin sa Linya-Linya, at sa napakaraming Pilipino, lalo na sa Batang 90’s! Nakakatawa at nakaka-relate; ang witty at ang artistic; may lalim at maraming sinasabi tungkol sa’ting mga Pilipino, sa kultura natin, at sa lipunan natin. Maiikling comic strips na talagang tumatatak at malaki ang impact sa marami.”
The collaboration with Pol Medina Jr. features Linya-Linya’s classic line “Weight loss, wait lang” perfectly illustrated with the “heavy” characters of Pugad Baboy—Polgas, Bab, and Mang Dagul.
The shirt serves as a simple reminder to take it easy and don’t allow external factors to pressure you into becoming something you’re not. The shirt is also a tribute to everyone who grew up in the 90’s. Fan or not, we can all agree that Pugad Baboy was one of the most celebrated masterpieces of that time. It’s one of the reasons why 90’s is “the 90’s”.
