(SPOT.ph) Raise your hands if you grew up following the lives of the Sungcals, the Lamouns, and, of course, who could ever forget Polgas drawn and written through comic strips on broadsheets and tabloids since the '80s. It's not a stretch to say that you possess cutouts of these comic strips stashed in a box somewhere because it was one of the things that completed your childhood and for most, exposed your minds on the country's issues, an avid fan or not. It's funny yet deep, relatable, and hard-hitting satire at the same time. If you still don't know what we're talking about, it's the timeless and influential comic series Pugad Baboy, courtesy of cartoonist Pol Medina Jr.
Now, instead of just seeing the art on paper, or digital, in case you happen to see it online, you can finally wear the classic caricatures with Linya-Linya and Pol Medina Jr.'s collaboration.

Throw it back to the '90s with this Linya-Linya x Pugad Baboy limited-edition shirt.
"Isa na siguro ito sa pinaka-mahalagang collaboration namin. Napakalaki ng influence at impact ni Sir Pol sa akin bilang batang writer; sa team namin sa Linya-Linya; at sa napakaraming Pilipino, lalo na sa batang 90s!," Ali Sangalang, the creative director of Linya-Linya, said. "Nakakatawa at nakaka-relate; ang witty at ang artistic; may lalim at maraming sinasabi tungkol sa'ting mga Pilipino, sa kultura natin, at sa lipunan natin. Mai-ikling comic strips na talagang tumatatak at malaki ang impact sa marami."
A reminder to take it easy and not allow external factors to pressure you into becoming something you're not, the shirt has a caricature of the comic's Polgas, Bab, and Mang Dagul alongside Linya-Linya's classic "Weight Loss? Wait Lang!" line.
The Linya-Linya x Pol Media Jr: Weight Loss? Wait Lang! shirt is priced at P799. You can see it on their website or at Linya-Linya's Trinoma branch.
