Zunar & 'Gedung Kartun'nya

Kali terakhir aku berjumpa Zunar adalah pada 15 April 2008 semasa Persidangan PeKOMIK, dan kali ini aku bertemu beliau atas jemputannya berkaitan hal ehwal kartun.

Dalam pertemuan yang serba ringkas di pejabatnya di Brickfields itu, aku bersempatan bertemu konco2 Zunar. Antara lain ialah Jonos, Ronasina dan Enot yang turut terlibat dalam pembikinan majalah jenaka alternatif, Gedung Kartun. Tentu sekali, selain daripada kami bersembang pasal topik pemasaran & promosi kartun, aku juga amat berminat mendapat cerita daripada empunya badan berkaitan insiden rampasan majalah Gedung Kartun seperti yang dilaporkan di media maya baru-baru ini.

Khabarnya majalah terbitan sulungnya itu telah dirampas oleh pihak Kementerian Dalam Negeri (KDN) atas sebab tiada permit penerbitan yang sah. Aku yang juga terlibat secara langsung dalam urusan penerbitan di tempat kerja, memahami apa sebenarnya yang sedang berlaku. Apatah lagi, selepas mengamati isi kandungan majalah Gedung Kartun itu, tentu sekali berasa amat kesal dan simpati atas kejadian tersebut. Apa pun, aku beranggapan kejadian ini secara tidak langsung telah memberi promosi pemasaran yang bernilai paling tidak ratusan ribu ringgit kepada majalah terbabit. Apa lagi, khalayak kita amat gemar benda-benda yang diharamkan atau pun yang sewaktu dengannya. Tentu ramai yang nak beli. Malah aku sendiri mencari di kedai... sayangnya tak jumpa! :(

Aku mula mengenali Zunar secara dekat semasa zaman kegemilangan majalah Gila-Gila suatu ketika dulu melalui kartunnya berjudul Gebang-Gebang, Ofis Korner dan Liza - Cinta Tak Semestinya Bersatu. Sepanjang bekerja dengan Zunar pada sekitar tahun 1996-97 di majalah Rileks dulu, dia yang aku kenali ini, amat kreatif dan sering memberi idea yang ringkas tapi tajam & bernas.

Dalam keluaran sulung majalah Gedung Kartun itu, selaku penerbit dan ketua editor, Zunar bersama-sama konco2nya memaparkan kartun ringkas tapi padat berkaitan isu kelemahan SPRM (mengikut Kamus Konco, ia bermaksud Seterunya Pakatan Rakyat Malaysia), skandal PKFZ, kematian Teoh Beng Hock, demonstrasi anti-ISA, isu kerajaan perpaduan, merdeka dan PPSMI.

Gedung Kartun turut memuatkan puisi berbisa A. Samad Said yang berjudul Peludah Bahasa, di samping artikel tulisan Pyanhabib berkenaan PPSMI, dan cerpen karya Nazri M. Annuar.

Semasa di pejabat Zunar, kelihatan kakitangan produksi sedang sibuk dalam persiapan untuk isu yang kedua. Apapun, dalam keluaran pertamanya, yang paling aku minat ialah karya Jonos berjudul Dol Kerepek pasal One Malaysia. Manakala karya empat halaman yang berjudul Siapa Bunuh Beng Hock oleh Dol Kerepek, aku menjangka ia bakal mengundang kontroversi dan provokasi. Aku doakan kalian kuatkan semangat dan banyak bersabar!

Resipi Majalah SEDAP Sambut Aidilfitri

Bagi umat Islam, bulan Ramadhan merupakan bulan bagi menjalankan kewajipan berpuasa bagi yang akil baligh dan sihat. Masih tinggal kurang dua minggu lagi umat Islam akan berpuasa. Tetapi, di majalah SEDAP, keluaran terkini yang baru hari ini memasuki pasaran memaparkan tema Aidilfitri. Advance tu!

Isu lepas memaparkan resipi-resipi sempena bulan Ramadhan. Jadi isu kali ini, bilangan #15 menghidangkan sajian istimewa bagi persediaan Aidilfitri pula.

Secara kasar, majalah SEDAP kali ini menyediakan hampir 90 jenis resipi untuk dicuba. Hampir 40 sajian dianggap sesuai untuk dijadikan hidangan istimewa sempena Aidilfitri. Sesungguhnya wajib dicuba kepada mereka yang ingin mencari sedikit kelainan bagi menjamu selera para tetamu tatkala raya nanti. Dengan variasi masakan yang digandingkan dengan ketupat dan tanpa ketupat, aneka kuih lazat, minuman segar dan puding lembut... satu kombinasi menu yang pasti menambat selera dan mempesonakan para tetamu dengan kelainan yang tuan rumah sediakan.

Satu lagi yang istimewanya keluaran kali ini... harga yang ditawarkan tetap RM5.50, seperti keluaran-keluaran sebelum ini. Berlainan sekali dengan lambakan majalah lain dalam pasaran yang mengambil kesempatan hari berperistiwa untuk meningkatkan harga, meskipun kandungannya turut ditambah.

Oh ya... bagi mereka yang masih mencari-cari resipi atau eBook pasal resipi, anda dialu-alu menjadi ahli di grup Resipi SEDAP di Facebook. Ada banyak tip dan eBook PERCUMA dikongsi di kalangan ahli grup.

SEDAP Dah Setahun!

Setahun
Tak sangka, pejam celik pejam celik, dah setahun usia majalah SEDAP di pasaran Malaysia. Rasa macam baru je pasarkan keluaran pertama.

Prestasi
Dari segi kandungan aku anggap ia amat memuaskan. Prestasi jualan dan sambutannya...? Emmm... dalam gawat-gawat ni, nampaknya aku tak boleh terlalu demand yang tidak masuk akal. Mana mungkin boleh menyaingi majalah resipi yang sedia ada dalam pasaran. Cukuplah yang seadanya....

Kekurangan
Tapi yang agak ralat sempena ulang tahun pertamanya, keluaran kali ini agak kurang terserlah dari segi warnanya. Malap sikit. Kenapa ya?

Penyelesaian
Versi original tidak memperlihatkan kemalapan ini. Agaknya kena jumpa si pencetak bagi memahami senario yang sebenar. Takkan versi Indonesia elok, versi Malaysia teruk. Versi Indonesia molek, versi Malaysia jelek. Tak aci lah! Malaysia boleh marr...!
