Apart from the humour, I love the spirit of comics. The characters always seem invincible. Crushed. Flattened. Downtrodden. But they’ll be up on their feet in a jiffy. And I think that’s how we ought to live too. Be down, but not out!
Anyway, I’ll like to share this Chinese website featuring animated comics from one of my fave cartoonist Ronald Chu Teh-yung (朱德庸). His sardonic insight into relationships is caustically funny and frighteningly accurate.
Like this one.
A woman watches how a man is so loving and kind to his partner across the other table, turns around to question her own husband who is digging into his rice.
She: When can you become as gentle and loving as that man across that table?
He: When you become as pretty and lovely as the lady sitting opposite him.
Totally wicked!
(Scroll down all the way till you see the above images and click on each to activate the flash version of the comic strips.)
Enjoy!
Yes.. I like this comic too.. like you say.. totally wicked but so true..

I like this comic too! One of the rare ones which I can read the chinese without much difficulty. Perhaps sarcasm is easier to read?
DR: I suppose the humour plus the drawings also help sustain your interest to read on…
