Edge cartoonist, ‘Edgy’ featured in Inquirer

WEDNESDAY, 04 SEPTEMBER 2013 17:08

For the entire month of September, “Edgy”, that inquisitive, witty and business-like monkey cartoon character of Edge Davao graces the pages of the Philippine Daly Inquirer as a special cartoon series.

Edge Davao resident cartoonist Arlene Pasaje said “Edgy” will be the main character of the cartoon strip “Monkey Business”, the same cartoon strip that appears daily on the pages of this paper.

The Philippine Daly Inquirer regularly features cartoonists for a month-long engagement in the Comic Relief section. Pasaje is September’s featured artist.

Pasaje is an air traffic controller of the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) assigned in the Francisco Bangoy International Airport in Davao City. She created “Edgy” and the “Monkey Business” cartoon strip in March 2012 when Edge Davao became a regular daily newspaper circulating in the Davao and Socsargen regions. 

“We are proud of Arlene. We always believe in her craft which goes with an impeccable wit, a rare combination for an artist, that is why Arlene is a rare breed,” Edge Davao editor Antonio Ajero said.

Aside from “Monkey Business”, Pasaje also does the editorial cartoons of this paper. NJB
