Zunzi is one of our most famed local cartoonists, channeling society’s frustrations into comedy and caricature. Many of his creations during his two decades sketching out our social issues are difficult to forget, including his “bloom-headed Regina Yip” of the Article 23 debate, or his portrayals of Tung Chee-hwa and Donald Tsang Yam-kuen. He talks to Yvonne Young about the Mohammad cartoons, freedom of speech and starting a family.

How did I grow up? I drank milk.

My dad was a sailor. Me and my five brothers and sisters were so excited when he showed us weird fruits he brought back from overseas. He told us stories about what he saw out there, and the outside world became a mystery to us. I wrote a composition in school called “My Dream” – it was about wanting to be a sailor.
