April Fools Day: Pinoy illustrators having a field day over ‘baka lumabas ang aircon’ joke

On Twitter Sunday, Filipino illustrators are having a ball over the age-old, ehem, adage: “Isara mo ang pinto, baka lumabas ang aircon!”

Using the hashtags #AstigPagOrig and #KomiksLife, the incredibly talented and social media-savvy artists translated the text into hilarious comic strips, and captioned it with jokes on originality, messages of “please don’t steal” and one using JC as a metaphor for AC, because you know, it is Easter Sunday.

Check out some of our favorites below:
