Old Master or Lau Foo Tzi both entertained and educated us when we were secondary school students. We read all his comics voraciously. Perhaps we developed this unique kind of Asian humour. Although Old Master at times is very crafty and naughty,he nevertheless has his serious moments. The cartoonist is always very creative and he can see unusual aspects of Asian life and laugh at them. This is what I like about Old Master.
We learned a lot of Chinese proverbs from these comics. Later in teacher training we actually used a lot of English comics to teach grammar, listening and speaking. Laughter in class is an absolute element of good teaching.
So enjoy one episode of Old Master here for old time's sake.
