Lucky Bird

"Elmer is the story of a family of chickens struggling to survive in a hostile environment. A true family drama in a world where an entire class of people are ostracized by the dominant class, and where all live in a state of mutual distrust. Both funny and moving, Gerry Alanguilan crafted with candor from beginning to end an inspiring parable that masquerades as chronic delusional story. He originally self-published Elmer between 2006 and 2008 in the Philippines. Elmer is the first Philippine graphic novel translated into French."*
