Know More About 'Thor' In Just 8 Fun WebComic Panels

Since this whole week was all about the buzz on Marvel Studio's latest superhero film Thor, why not spend a couple of minutes of your precious time learning more on the history of the hammer-wielding Thunder God of Asgard with a cool original comic by artist Chris Haley and Curt Franklin of the webcomic site Let's Be Friends Again , featured on Comics Alliance's "Comics Everybody!" segment. 

I honestly don't know anything about Thor before I watched the movie except that he has a fucking magical hammer that he throws around, and this web comic helped me more ways than one on knowing more about his illustrious comic book career, even giving me a clear answers on questions like:  why is there a gigantic frog that exactly look like him in some of his stories?   Is he still a virgin?  Those kinds of questions.

Hoy Pinoy Webcomic: 'How To Kill A Flying Ipis' (How To Kill A Flying Cockroach)

I am a Filipino and it is a shame for to me to just cover Western Comics here on my blog so I thought, "Why don't I show some love for Filipino comics or webcomics?". Typed a couple of letters and told Mr. Google to search for a good Pinoy (slang for Filipino) webcomic out there.

Tada! Found hoypinoy.net and he's got a nice looking site with ramblings and some nice webcomics. I particularly liked his scientific take on how to kill a flying cockroach while using the laws of physics, like it was solving a worded math problem. Genius. The webcomic is in my native Tagalog language, but I will try to translate for you.

Things we need to kill a flying cockroach: sandals (the main weapon), paper (you will use that to pick up the dead insect), and finally a rag (which doesn't need any explanation unless you are a moron).

Step 1: Wait for the right time to strike for the kill. Focus and do not be afraid.

Step 2: Predict the flight trajectory of the vermin. You can use the angles and formulas above to make your mission easier.

Step 3: Once you have calculated the roach's location, use all your enhanced reflexes to swat the roach out of the face of the earth. Scream "Ahooo! Ahooo!" if successful.
