102 – Mano y Myano
Didn’t know mano is unique to the Philippines. Interesting!
Transcript
Hibi-Hibi: A lady is respectful to everyone, especially their elders. You can show respect by giving mano. Say "Mano po!" then hold your father's hand.
Myan: Mano po!
Keith: I'm not that old yet...
Hibi-Hibi: Now, bow so you can touch his hand to your forehead.
Hibi-Hibi: Just do it slowly-
Myan: D-dad! How could you?!
Keith: Wha- HOW IS THAT MY FAULT?!!
Hibi-Hibi: heh hehe
Hibi-Hibi: heh-ehem... Uh, you should wait until I was finished speaking, Myan.
thefred zacherylawshe1999 Not screaming “I’M GONNA HUG YOU” will also probably help.
thefred GDA12294 Yeah, that.
zacherylawshe1999 I think this is actually very typical of a cat. For instance, if you chase down a cat and try to pet it, even if you succeed, you’d think that petting it afterwards would prove your good intentions all along, but what happens instead is that the cat blames you…. for making it fearful. For causing the fear itself. In that situation, you can’t win. And this is much the same.
man in black Yeah, if her dad is there.
That’s not giving mano, that’s giving-
*gets cut off by a slap to the face*
ShadowDarkness Actually when I saw “smek” I kept thinking of Lister from Red Dwarf calling Rimmer a smeghead.
GDA12294 Oh come on, Myan isn’t a feminist, she doesn’t have any such notions.
Kiss her and make it better!
GDA12294 Nah, the same thing would’ve happened even if Keith was a girl.
Neospector Haha, now I’m trying to find if we have any rude/obscene gestures of our own.
Thank you for linking that, because now I’ll be spending the next several hours browsing “list of gestures”. ._.
You are male. Therefore, everything negative is your fault and nothing positive was your idea.
She is very impulsive
@Darwinskeeper At least someone got a laugh at it.
Walkman100 Comic Rocket advertisements are pretty stupid, that’s why. No option to not display ads pointing to itself.
Why am I seeing an ad for this comic at the bottom of the page?
zacherylawshe1999 “I’ll forgive you, if you give me a treat.”
That image of Hibi trying not to laugh in the 5th panel is great!!!
Myan is blaming her father for something he didn’t even do…
Looks like this is going to be an easier job then everyone thought!
ShadowDarkness Oh, yes, because that’s all you learned in this comic. 😀
Tomethius He was gonna say sorry even though it wasn’t his fault…
At least I’m learning things about the Philippines… Like how there’s a difference between a smack and a smek.
Good job, Keith, your hurt her head! YOU MOSTER
