The Manila Christian Computer Institute for the Deaf is a school whose principal aim is “to assist the hearing impaired in getting a better chance to compete for employment, education and other opportunities like every other citizen”.

As part of their mission to disseminate information about deafness, deaf and their culture, the MCCID began publishing a comic strip depicting a Filipino Deaf to help others to better understand their condition, the challenges they face on a daily basis, and show the lighter side of the kind of life they lead.

Several cartoonists are credited for the drawings some of which are Sir Oscar M. Purificacion and Diane A. Barcelona.

The comic strips’ topic, though the drawings themselves are a bit raw, is quite refreshing because it is so different from the usual fare that we get on a daily basis. The fact that it serves a greater purpose other than self aggrandizement doesn’t hurt either.
