Old Master Q (Chinese: 老夫子; pinyin: Lǎo Fū Zi) is a Chinese manhua created by Alfonso Wong (Chinese: 王家禧 / 王澤; pinyin: Wáng Jiā Xǐ / Wáng Zé). The cartoon first appeared as comic strips in the newspapers and magazines in Hong Kong in 1962, and later serialised in 1964.
The series features Old Master Q and his friends - Big Potato (Chinese: 大番薯; pinyin: Dà Fān Shǔ), Mr. Chin (Chinese: 秦先生; pinyin: Qín Xiān Shēng ), Mr. Chiu (Chinese: 老赵 / 赵先生; pinyin: Lǎo Zhào / Zhào Xiān Shēng) and Miss Chan (Chinese: 陈小姐; pinyin: Chén Xiǎo Jiě) - in many different hilarious situations. They are usually portrayed in a variety of social statuses, professions and time periods, ranging from beggars and office workers to actors and ancient warriors, allowing a wide variety of settings and ideas. Some scenarios include aliens, monsters, ghost sightings, and the afterlife. The majority of the comic strips parodies those themes.
In the context of the strips, Old Master Q, Big Potato and Mr. Chin are close friends; Mr. Chiu often play an antagonistic role toward the trio; finally, Miss Chan is often portrayed as a love interest to Old Master Q.
!! Old Master Q provides examples of (Note: Most tropes are PlayedForLaughs):
* AbsurdlySharpBlade: Often seen in ancient Chinese settings, in which Master Q's sword can cut down trees.
* AccidentalPun: In one strip, a westerner asks Master Q about a picture on the wall: a bright sun and a beach. Master Q replies him, "Sun of a beach." The next panel shows Master Q with black eyes and the westerner walking away.
