Fans of the comic strip Old Master Q can revisit their childhood memories at Comix Home Base in Wan Chai from December 10, 2016 to January 4, 2017. “Indulging in Imagination – Exhibition of Old Master Q’s Comics Works” features the work of Alfonso Wong, known by his pen name Wong Chak, his eldest son Joseph’s Chinese name.
Inspired by Hong Kong society and culture, Alfonso Wong used the character of Old Master Q to reflect how Chinese society has changed over the years. He drew the comic strip from 1962 until he retired in the 1990s, and his son Joseph took over.
Joseph Wong reflects on how his father created Old Master Q, and why the comic strip is so endearing to people in Hong Kong and around the world.
