Life is weird, funny, and sometimes just plain awkward. That is exactly where GABTAP shines. Whether it is being broke before payday, laughing at memes at 3 AM, or pretending you understood the group chat reference, this collection turns everyday chaos into comics you will want to share.
GABTAP #1 is your ultimate starter pack of colorful strips filled with relatable humor, bold art, and punchlines that will make you say, “Wait… that’s literally me.”
It is easy to flip through, impossible not to laugh at, and perfect for any mood. Read it when you are procrastinating, dodging responsibilities, or just need a quick pick-me-up.
Think of it as a mood booster, a conversation starter, and a reminder that life is always a little funnier in comic form. Because sometimes the best way to deal with the chaos is to laugh at it.
Jape Garr
Jape Garr is the creator of GABTAP, a series of slice-of-life stories that blend humor, heartbreak, and the quiet absurdities of everyday life. A pharmacist by day and comic artist by passion, Jape captures the Filipino experience with a mix of wit, honesty, and a little existential dread.
His love for comics began at his lolo’s tindahan, where he would flip through old newspapers and get lost in the comic strips printed beside the classifieds. That simple joy grew into a lifelong habit of observing people, overthinking, and turning life’s weird little moments into comics.
Through GABTAP, Jape has created a voice that resonates with the quiet dreamers, tired workers, awkward lovers, and anyone just trying to make it through the week. His work is deeply personal, but always leaves room for readers to find themselves in between the panels.
This is his love letter to the tambays, the commuters, the introverts, and everyone who says “sana all” with a sigh and a laugh.
