KOMPAS/ARBAIN RAMBEY

Dwi Koendoro, a cartoonist for Kompas Minggu (Sunday Kompas), attends the “Wayang Gepuk, Wayang Alternatif” exhibition on 7 Nov. 1997 at the Bentara Budaya Jakarta cultural space.

Panji Koming stood upright and made a saluting gesture. Both of his hands were clasped in front of his chest. On a huge rock below him, there were the words: “Goodbye, Pak Swan.” Meanwhile, Pailul was walking away and saying, “Writing about history is fun.”

The five-panel comic strip was the last one cartoonist Dwi Koendoro Brotoatmodjo made for Kompas. It was published in the Sunday edition on 18 August 2019. The two characters often seen as representing peasantry, Panji Koming and Pailul, were actually saying goodbye to an important figure in Kompas’ history, Polycarpus Swantoro.
