The next issue of the Collegian may be delayed (it’s coming out on Tuesday next week, promise), but here’s the second issue of No Way but Up. You got it here first, folks, even before the newspaper hits the pavement.
I’m not sure exactly why the Graphics boys are using Frauline’s name for the artwork, but the last issue was drawn by Nico Villarete and this issue’s by Janno Gonzales. Credit where credit’s due for all that lovely art.
Since we’re paying royalties, I may as well mention that it was Carlos Piocos who came up with the idea of making a comic set in a futuristic University of the Philippines– a post-UP Charter University after the passing of the damnable Student Code. I just ran with it.
Issue 3 in the works. All the codes I hid (they’re not that hard to see) will be revealed after the whole thing’s done.
(apparently, the only way to prevent the links toolbar on the right from blocking image is by placing the image really low. Scroll down to see it in full glory.)


sa kabila ng lahat ng pagod sa buhay, napapangiti ako basahin ang No way but UP. Bumabalik ang mga alaala na pinapangarap lang natin noon mag-aral sa UP.
Hehe, salamat, Abbey. Anong pangarap yan? Alam mo naman ako, nakaka-experience ng senior moments kahit hindi pa senior.
hi miss surrealistmanifesto, sorry napadpad ako dito dahil hinahanap ko ang info sa no way but up sa net at sa multiply nyo..eh wala .waa. ampness, kelan ba release 19? can’t wait to know what happend to Mando and his brainwash thing. at ang galing ni frululu (why o why from fruhlein to frululu to jano and nico or whatever??) at ni mixkaella villalon (you?) galing! (my classmates liked the sunken underground ish hahaha, pasista kung pasista!!!) sana madevelop pa, pero focus naman dun sa gurlalu. at sana mapakita yung canteens and ikots and shuster and more more more…
haha wish…
can’t wait!!
Wow, validation.
Salamat, uh, Munchies. Akala ko nilalangaw ang komiks kasi walang nagtetext back, pero okay na rin ito. Sobrang salamat at nagugustuhan ninyo. By next week, lalabas ang ish 19. Nadelay lang dahil sa Martial Law.
Sa kasamaang palad, parang huling issue na yata ng No Way but UP ang lalabas sa issue 19 kasi nagbabalak ang graphics boys ng bagong kwento/ comics sa bagong taon. Kung anuman ang mapagpasyahan, pramis may malaking role si girlfriend sa huling issue.
Salamat muli ng bonggang-bongga.
