Hong Kong: Old Master Q

Last Thursday I got not only a postcard but also a cover from Hong Kong.

Stamps:
Definitive (from set of sixteen) (issued 07-2014)
Hong Kong Police Force (from set of six) (issued 30-04-2019)
with a special Year of the Rat postmark


Inside was a postcard about Old Master Q. Old Master Q is a comic series from Hong Kong. It was created by Alfonso Wong and was first published in 1962. Old Master Q himself is an elderly man dressed in a distinctive traditional Chinese attire. Other important characters from the series include Big Potato, Mr. Chin and Mr. Chao, the main antagonist. While the comics primarily focuse on humour, they also reflect changing social trends. The series is still continued until today and became popular across Asia.

The card is a maxicard. The stamp is from a set of eight and was issued on 5th December 2019.


Thank You very much Kayee!
