Filipino Super Detective

Here's a really old drawing that I thought was lost forever. My pal Irineo and I have been "developing" this character for years. The inspiration for his design is based on how we imagine ourselves looking when we reach our 50's. Aside from fighting crime, this guy smokes, gambles and drinks lots of San Miguel beer. Someday we're going to pitch a show based on him. Everyone we tell about our idea says it's ridiculous and stupid but they're just jealous haters. He's gonna be the next big thing - just you wait.

This guy deserves a book of his own! I think his side kick should be one of those fighting cocks you Phillipinos like so much.

I'll watch it only if he has an indecipherable accent and you subtitle him.

He, Matlock, and Columbo need to hook up and solve a crime, my friend.
