Fransisco "kenkoy" Harabas is a Philippine comics character created by Romualdo Ramos and cartoonist and illustrator Tony Velasquez in 1929. Velasquez continued the strip for decades after Ramos' death in 1932. Kenkoy was seminal to Philippine comics and thus Velasquez is considered the founding father of the industry. The term Kenkoy has entered the filipino language to mean a joker, jester, or a hilarious person.
