Finally, the Cambodian comics have been recently inserted into homepage after waiting for a long time. At first, John Weeks, Art Consultant from California, who is living in Phnom Penh, planned to open Cambodian youth’s eyes on comics and other drawing cultures (cartoon); and invited me to present the activities of Indonesian comics. Specific appointment in Phnom Penh was made through contact by email and telephone from Phnom Penh to Jakarta.




Therefore, I am now present in Phnom Penh, the capital of a country which is recovering from civil war. By asking Cambodian people about the Cambodian comics, it shows that it is necessary to re-create comics. If compared with the Indonesian comics, they is more popular than the Cambodian ones, although we are ashamed of ourselves when we recall that our country is the world’s most corrupt one. However, that is the nation’s issue; separately, Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia are geographically closer to Phnom Penh but why do they choose Indonesia? The Indonesian comics are not lively yet; contrarily, the neighboring countries’ comics are reviving. Please believe that we have taken one step forwards; hence, it is not wrong to persuade Cambodia to work with us.
