Career in comics

Cartoonist Ao Yo-siang plans to help young aspirants. Zhang Zefeng reports.

Cartoons have been an indispensable part of Ao Yo-siang's childhood since he can remember. In primary school, Ao created fictional storylines to sketch four-panel comics on workbooks entertaining classmates. Teachers often assigned him to draw blackboard posters.

"I get a sense of fulfillment from drawing cartoons," says the 61-year-old renowned Taiwan cartoonist. "I was weak in athletics. Cartoons were something that I can use to draw people's attention to me."
