CHUYASH COMICS: Episode 11: What's on your mind?

Photo
I: A bored Ash...
II: ...contemplates on how his girlfriend is faring...
III: ...and it distracts him.
IV: Cue a pop quiz from the teacher. "Aw, hell" indeed!

CHUYASH COMICS: Episode 10: Kabaw naman ka na love tika, di ba?

Photo
I: A nervous Ash meets someone he likes.
II: He asks her if they can go somewhere private. (Minds out of the gutter, boys!)
III: And just as he is ready to confess to the girl...
IV: ...fire in the hole.

The title translates to "You know I love you, right?"

CHUYASH COMICS: Episode 9: MegaKill-Joy

Photo
I: Yes, Ash is on a roll, and it shows in a manner typical of the average Pinoy gamer.
II: When the power is suddenly cut off...
III: ...Ash channels some tranquil fury, before...
IV: ...dropping an Atomic F Bomb powerful enough to make the Tsar Bomba look like a single drop of rain.

And you wonder why Pinoy gamers are called "Peenoise!"

CHUYASH COMICS: Episode 8: Sarsa sa Humba

Photo
I: On the first date, nothing really seems out of place.
II: Until...
III: ...Ash gallantly offers to clean up some "dirt" close to his date's lips. She accepts the offer...
IV: ...and that is how he does it.

The "dirt" was actually "sarsa sa humba," or the sauce from a Visayan form of pork hocks stew.

CHUYASH COMICS: Episode 7: Good Morning

Photo


I: Wakey wakey! Someone's still groggy at 0630.
II: By 0700, Ash is reading text messages sent to him while he slept the night away.
III: An hour later, he yawns. Ash's day has begun.
IV: "Sayo man ko mumata, dugay lang ko mubangon (I wake up early, it's just that I'm not really up for a long time)" Ash says. It shows: he's not bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.

CHUYASH COMICS: Episode 6: Yellow Pad Sponsor

Photo
I: Pop quiz, people!
II: Ash starts cursing; he did not bring any paper.
III: His seatmate, on the other hand...
IV: ...has two things: paper, and a grudge against that Bravo Foxtrot. "Tunga ta ana, idol! (Let's split it in half, buddy!)" Ash says, only to be turned down by the seatmate saying "Bogo ka, ako'y gipa-report nimo's tanan! (You idiot, you made me report everything!)"

Yellow pad paper is commonly used in college. Ash was asking for a sponsor (hence the title) because he did not bring paper of his own, and what goes around comes around. In other words: Karma's a bitch, Ash.

CHUYASH COMICS: Episode 5: You better check yourself


Photo
I: Ash is heading to school, and a good start...
II: ...which lasts through his commute.
III: Just when he is jubiliant--for he is close to the school gate...
IV: ...Ash starts swearing. "Yawa (literally: Devil) animal akong ID piste" in this context translates to "Ah, hell...I forgot to bring my fucking ID card."

The title is an admonition. Make sure you have everything you need, people!

CHUYASH COMICS: Episode 4: Re-nu-sans

Photo
I: Ash and his group partner discuss with the class about the Renaissance (It is History class, after all). It begins with...
II: ...Ash's partner describing the Renaissance...
III: ...all the way until...
IV: ...Ash closes the discussion.

The title is how typical unlettered Cebuanos would pronounce "Renaissance," which actually spanned three centuries (14th to 17th--1300's to 1600's, not the 12th Century--1100's). Ash in this strip acts in a manner typical of what the US military would call a Bravo Foxtrot--a buddy fucker, or someone who deliberately fucks his buddy (Ash's partner) over.

CHUYASH COMICS: Episode 3: Krissy and Erika

Photo
I: At 0051...
II: Ash is burning the midnight oil getting his game on. Hence...
III: ...at 1251 later that day...
IV: ...he ends up sleeping in class. Tough shit, buddy.

Why this was titled "Krissy and Erika" escapes me.

CHUYASH COMICS: Episode 2: Uniform

Photo
I: Ash is talking with a friend over his cell (or mobile) phone (hence the statement "Kastorya migo sa selpon") as to whether or not he will be in school uniform. Ash is serious here.
II: His friend tells him that he will have to wear his uniform to be allowed entry into campus. The term "atay," which is Cebuano for "liver," is used as an expletive similar to "damn/dammit."
III: After getting confirmation, Ash thanks his buddy before hanging up and realizes...
IV: ...he wasn't even going to report in on that day, saying "Dammit, why did I have to ask when I'm not even going to report in?"

CHUYASH COMICS: Episode 1: DepEd

Photo

I: Ash is sleeping off when he realizes...
II: ...he has a class at 0830. Here he utters a string of abbreviations and acronyms: O(h)M(y)F(ucking)G(od) W(hat)T(he)F(uck) MOFO (that is, motherfucker) D(ili)M(a)D(ala; "Dili ma-dala" translates to "I can't take this!")  D(ili)K(a)M(a)L(ain; "Dili ka ma-lain" translates to "Aren't you grossed out?") DEP(artment of)ED(ucation; the Department of Education, from which we have the title of this episode, is the Philippine Education Ministry. The current Secretary of Education as of this edit [04/23/2018] iLeonor Briones.) I L(ove)Y(ou)S(o)M(uch) T(ake)C(care) CIC (no idea what this is.)
III: Realizing that he's already 15 minutes late (here, he says "Ay nalang," which translates to "Never mind")...
IV: ...Ash goes back to sleep. "T(ul)og balik" in this picture translates to "let's go back to sleep." Note the signature on the 4th panel. You will see this in every single comic.

CHUYASH COMICS -- Introduction

CHUYASH Comics is a work by the good souls behind the Facebook page "Chuuuya." As proven by the following picture:


I was given permission to post the comics. Some of these comics will contain mature content, and all of these will have English translations in text just like this one.

In other words, what I am posting here is not mine, and I have the consent of the original makers.

Have fun!

EDIT (02-26-2016): After a considerably long time of inactivity, I have decided to resurrect this series. The original disclaimer still stands, and you can find the comics in all their uninterpreted glory here.
