Sebenarnya komik ini kubuat untuk mengikuti lomba-entah-apa-namanya Mei lalu. Lupa nama itu lomba, haha. Dan tentu saja engga menang, saya ngga punya bakat untuk memenangkan lomba gambar dalam bentuk apapun, kecuali lomba menyanyi waktu kelas 2 SD dulu :D
Tapi kupikir, tema komik ini sesuai dengan peringatan Hari Guru Nasional hari ini, 25 November 2014. Tahun lalu saya memposting satu halaman tentang asal-muasal dua huruf pertama alfabet ('alpha' dan 'bayt' :D ), tahun ini tentang cerita nusantara dan metafora di balik cerita itu. Bila Kau seorang kutu buku yang gandrung dengan cerita atau dongeng nusantara, kupikir banyak yang bisa digali dari metafora yang tertuang dalamnya, seperti 'Negarakrtagama' dengan cerita diskusi para binatang hutan yang tempat tinggalnya dibakar oleh seorang raja :D ...
I made this comic and had this enlisted into a contest last May. I forgot its name, because I didn't win it. Apparently I don't have some kind of gift to win any drawing contests, except a singing contest about twenty years ago, haha...
I think this comic's theme fits the celebration of National Teacher's Day today, November, 25th. Indonesian teachers should be proud of this celebration and I think they're struggling their best to build better education for Indonesian children.
Last year, I posted about the origin of first-two-letters-of-alphabet ('alpha' and 'bayt'). This year is about our national tales and its metaphor. If you were a book reader or a book worm who has a keen eye for Indonesian fairy tales; kakahwin, if you will; I think there are a lot of things we can dig out from them. Negarakrtagama is one of them, with its story about the tale of animals, whose forest was being burnt out by a so-called rightful king of the realm that day.
Does it ring a bell to you?
PS: the language is in Indonesian
