Yet another amazing compilation of Filipino komiks. As the name suggests, it's a hotpot of stories across various genre that have no business being together in one volume, and yet in the end, it kind of makes sense that they are.

Follow Mang Tomas, a metafictional hunter trying to make the universe of stories right again after the rampage of a weird monster that is a lot of KARE-KARE. The hunter jumps from one story to another as each take unfolds before us.

Ceiling proves to be a versatile artists and storyteller, with a variety of styles under his sleeves as he tackles all sort of themes - from the mundane to the magical, from pets to mental health, and many more, in one of the most meta works to ever exist in this universe.
