Q Boy is the main character of the White Cat Black Cat series. He is one of the 24 classic local comic characters selected by CreateHK in 2012.[1] The three-dimensional sculpture of Q Boy was displayed at Kowloon Park in Tsim Sha Tsui and Golden Bauhinia Square in Wan Chai.
Q Boy asks questions and Doctor A, who is the uncle of Q Boy, has answers. Their names refer to the English words "question" and "answer". Besides the characters mentioned above, Mr Ma Sing-yuen created several other interesting characters as well, like cat girl Miu Miu, Q Boy's little brother Chocolate, Q Boy's best friend Little D, etc. With their dialogue, children can learn efficiently and happily by reading the questions and answers.
