Comic artists Zunzi and Emu are the most prominent figures in the Hong Kong political cartoon history. From the discussion of the handover of Hong Kong since the 80s to the social movements in recent years, their works have played a significant role in shaping the public opinions. After 30 years’ participation in the field, they decided to re-examine the development of Hong Kong comics in the early days by archiving a large number of images collected from the old newspapers. This talk aims to share their experience and observations in the research process and their views on the future development of the art form.
