The pitch emerged on mid-2010 as an edutainment series of single-shot cartoons and comics, originally meant for the communication and media studies students at San Beda College Alabang, Philippines. Much of the original sketches were finished between September and October. The comic itself along with a considerable amount of sketches is posted on [[Deviant ART]].

{{tropelist}}
=== This series contains examples of: ===
 
* Adorkable: Many of the characters, including Print Journalism, Photography, and Internet.
* [[All Love Is Unrequited]]: Well, most of it anyways.
Line 37 ⟶ 36:
* [[Generation Xerox]]: Literature and his son, Comics. Also, Telegraphy and Internet
* [[Hollywood Nerd]]: Lit and Comics qualify as Type 2. Internet, Computer Technology, Intranet, and arguably Video Games are Type 1.
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: All of the characters will end up with jerkass moments. Thus many of them would fit this trope.
* [[No Fourth Wall]]: Pretty much the point.
* [[Old Media Are Evil]]: A recurring theme, although they qualify more like "old media are jerkasses" more than anything.
Line 46 ⟶ 45:
** The Film Siblings (Cinema and Photography); one likes movement, the other stillness. although they're amicable, they're not close.
** The Prints (Literature and Print Journalism) are a more amiable pair of brothers. One is sedentary, the other adventurous.
** [[Polar Opposite Twins|Internet and Intranet]]. The former is an extroverted [[Jerkass]] and the other is a {{[[Hikkikomori |shut-in}}]].
* [[Shout -Out]]: Given the nature of the series, this will more or less be inevitable.
* [[Take That]]: Quite a bit really. Mainly toward [[Executive Meddling]] and other media pet peeves.
* [[Teens Are Short]]: Averted with Internet, who is actually taller than his father [[Computer Tech]]. His sister Arpanet is even taller.
