History

Kikomachine Komix was first published at the student newspaper Philippine Collegian in 2001, by Manix Abrera a then-second year college student. [3] [4] The comics strips later became a regular fixture of the Philippine Daily Inquirer

The name "Kikomachine" was derived from Abrera's band of the same name ("Kiko Machine"), which was inspired by the character Kiko Matsing of the Filipino children's television shows Sesame! and Batibot . [5]

Film adaptation

A film adaptation of the comic strip is set to be made. In March 2018, Abrera signed a contract with Epik Studios, in cooperation with Viva Entertainment. In an interview with the Philippine Daily Inquirer, Abrera said that he will be involved with conceptualization and casting. [6] The film's release date is yet to be determined.
