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]].

* [[Art Evolution]]

* [[Art Shift]]: Constantly. The first page and second page have this in spades.

* [[Always Someone Better]]: A recurring theme is this, and its occasional subversion.

* [[Anthropomorphic Personification]]: Duh

*** Sadly, there's no trope for "all media are jerks."

* [[Older Than They Look]]: Most of the media channels invented prior to the 19th Century have this. Comic is an egregious offender; he looks like an [[Emo Teen]], but is physically in his 20s and is older that Television. Averted with Telegraphy.

** 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.
