Description
The comic depicts an interaction between a young girl and the owner of a corner shop (sari-sari store). The young girl, angry at her superior, who has pranked her earlier with a type of firework called a “lebentador”, plots revenge against him. She buys fireworks from a Chinese vendor, who is portrayed speaking in a stereotypical phonetic accent and warns the girl she must not let the police know he sells fireworks–implying he is running an illegal business. She pranks her superior back, and the comic ends with a greeting for the new year.
