What is "tomica"

Tomica (トミカ) is the line of die-cast toy vehicles and related products produced by Takara Tomy Co. of Japan (formerly known as Tomiyama and Tomy Kogyo Incorporated) since 1970 (Rixon 2005, 99). Originally these vehicles seem to have been a by-product of Tomica World, a separate line of motorized trains, vehicles and accessories that Tomy produced since 1959. Tomica World motorized trains and track systems, are based on Plarail (About Tomica 2013). Tomica could be referred to as the Matchbox Toys of Japan, and focuses mainly, but not exclusively, on Japanese brands.

Tomica (comic) is a South African webcomic, written by David Covas Lourenco and drawn by Deon de Lange.

Deon de Lange is the creator of the comic, Gofu (comic), and launched the Tomica webcomic in April 2014 with collaborator, David Covas Lourenco. A limited edition of 50 copies of a Tomica mini comic were for sale at Reader's Den Free Comic Book Day 2014.

The Tomica webcomic is also collected and printed in a unique mini-comic format, starting with Tomica #1.
