New Callwork Review!

Thanks Music is Life blog for rating Callwork 4.5 out of 5! Thanks Kat for the review!

"...Para sa akin ito ang official na comin book ng mga call center agent. Para sa mga kasalukuyang natutulog sa araw, sa mga nagre-release ng call, sa mga nalalag-lag sa kanal para maka-absent, sa mga nagrerecycle ng mga namatay na kamag-anak, para sa mga nanakawan ng pagkain sa pantry, para sa mga pinasukan ng call sa huling minuto bago mag-break, sa mga tambay ng lung center, sa mga hindi naka-sama sa family reunion, sa mga walang holiday, sa mga may double pay, sa mga nag-resign, sa mga gustong pasukin ang industriya ng call center. Ang comic book na ito ay para sa ating lahat!"

New Callwork and Proud Callboy Short Review!

"I've already heard about CALLWORK from Markus months and KOMIKONs ago. It's a collection of comic strips by Hazel Manzano which are about the life of a Call Center Agent. So last Saturday, I finally gave in and bought myself a copy. I also got the second book entitled Proud Callboy. It’s hilarious. I coudn’t put it down. I can’t believe I finished reading both books in one seating. It’s that good. "

Thanks Dcel for enjoying the two books!

Callwork Review on Pinoy Callture

Here's a new review of Callwork: A Call Center Life from Pinoy Callture.

"Callwork takes a playful jab into the call center industry, made credible by the author’s genuine experiences. Hers is a humorous take on cheating hearts, nicotine-induced fits of insanity, brutal gossiping, job disgruntlement, and other issues and nuances most call center employees deal with “night in and night out.” Make no mistake about it though, Callwork is a subtle yet brilliant call for change in the management methods of the BPO industry, as evidenced by the bits about attrition and payroll discrepancy. Readers will be pleased to see themselves amply represented as one of the comics’ characters, as the author makes an effort to stay faithful to the working environment. After all, this is real life…on night diff."

Thanks Carlo for posting this!

Callwork in FHM

Click to enlarge image

Okey okey I don't really buy FHM (duh?!) but Callwork: A Call Center Life and other indie comics are being featured in FHM for their February issue. I learned this last night in Gio Paredes blog, creator of kalayaan komiks. So I went downstairs to 7eleven to grab a copy. This book review is an unbiased review and never told us that they will be doing this article.
