another one from EROS ATALIA's "Taguan Pung at Manwal sa Pagpapatiwakal" (Suicide Manual)

This one is about discovering that your husband is gay from a conversation revealed by your son.

"Eh, bakit si ninong at dad nag-kiss ng ganon. di ba dad? Ay! Ma, lagot ka kay dad, madudumihan yung carpet natin, Yung ice cream mo... ito ang towel ni dad, oh"

...put me in a box, let the lighting strike once and send me to jesus! <<that's my concept for this illus. hehehe

reference/model: my sis-Jing

interesting choice of illustration, why did you decide to "melt" her face?

~JPacena Mar 1, 2006

because in the story she heard that her husband is having an affair to his male buddy... the melting face is a depiction of her world crumbling into pieces...
