| Introduction | IKABOD "is a funny cartoon strip in the Philippines that ran from the late 1970s to 2002. The main character was Ikabod Bubwit, a young rodent who has a witty political and philosophical views. It was a satirical strip that spoofed the Philippines as a nation called Dagalandia, a nation inhabited by thinking rodents. Created by Filipino cartoonist Nonoy Marcelo, the strip humorously depicted the socio-political woes of ordinary Filipinos, as respresented by the tailless everymouse hero, Ikabod - who became as iconic in his own way as that other popular cartoon rodent, Mickey Mouse. Marcelo often used the strip to caricature political figures from [the 1970's to the present], re-imagining them as mice. The strip was later compiled into book form." A play on words can sometimes make me smile or even GRIN that to make one look younger rather than frown which can make one look older. Add to a youthful look appreciation of everything around becomes a second nature be it some dry tree its trunk ready to be milled into planks of WOOD. A minor twist on how wood is to be spelled. Put all 3 words capitalized for emphasis together coming up with the name IKABOD GRINWUD. |
