Kikomachine Komix is a comic strip created by Filipino cartoonist and musician Manix Abrera.^[1] It was first published on the Philippine Daily Inquirer in 2001, and has since appeared daily^[2] on the newspaper.

History

During his days as a Fine Arts student in University of the Philippines-Diliman, Manix Abrera started to draw comics in 2000 for the Philippine Collegian, the official student newspaper of UP-Diliman.^[3] He originally worked with two other fellow Fine Arts students on a comic strip entitled 'Garapata Blood' (A Taglish phrase meaning 'Tick Blood'). When space for more comics became available on the paper, Abrera worked on a solo project, which was Kikomachine.^[4]

The name 'Kikomachine' was derived from Abrera's band of the same name, which was in turned inspired by the character 'Kiko Matsing', from the Filipino chlildrens' television show Batibot.^[5]

A film adaptation of the comic strip is set to be made. In March 2018, Abrera signed a contract with Epik Studios, in cooperation with Viva Entertainment. In an interview with the Philippine Daily Inquirer, Abrera said that he will be involved with conceptualization and casting.^[6] The film's release date is yet to be determined.
