Old Master Q comics mainly reflect the everyday life, cultural tensions, and social changes of Hong Kong and Chinese communities from the 1950s through the 1980s. Main aspects reflected (each bullet is supported by sources): • Everyday grassroots life and neighborhood culture: The strips centre on small-town/urban neighborhood incidents, workplace hierarchies, romantic squabbles, and street-level humor, portraying ordinary people’s daily lives and emotions. • East–West cultural clashes and modernization: The comics frequently juxtapose Western trends (for example, Beatlemania) with traditional customs, using satire and exaggeration to show cultural friction. • Hong Kong social phenomena of the 1960s–70s: Episodes often depict issues such as juvenile “street ruffian” culture, workplace tensions, gender relations, and urban routines, reflecting the period’s social mood and popular fashions. • Migration and transregional Chinese memory: The author’s mainland background and the comic’s circulation across Taiwan and Southeast Asia mean the work carries traces of mainland-to-Hong Kong migration and a shared Chinese diaspora memory. • Historical roots and localization process: Although research notes similar earlier comic prototypes from Tianjin, the Hong Kong version became strongly localized, focusing on Hong Kong current affairs and readers’ daily life, and thus evolved into a distinctive local cultural icon. Brief example to illustrate: • A scene in which Old Master Q confronts rowdy “street youths” reflects public frustration with unruly young people in the 1960s–70s; the situation is played for laughs but also channels real social sentiment.
