With two major announcements, the General Book Hall conjoined with a fashion of comic.

The "Old Master Q" became a fashion in not only Taiwan but also Chinese-language world because readers in Chinese-language world wanted to collect whole series and recommended its series as "Must Buy Series", its humor style attracted readers to read. After several arrangements with music and flash movies, the "Old Master Q" series will be more interactive than a simple comic book.
Joseph Chak Wong (王澤) ever replied a question to local media about its characteristic and said:
 |
The characteristic from main and sub characters can be varied, even though it (the series) is filled with male characters more than females, but I will try to neutralize the story structure and characteristic with character designs. |  |
In the afternoon, a Taiwanese famous blogger drawer "Wan-Wan" Chia-wei Hu participated the E-book launch of "Can't I go to work? A drawing diary by Wan-Wan.". The original author, Wan-Wan said to media and fans:
|
Since my published works were famous and steadily, I will do a optimization from my past drawing and try to create a significant brand to market my works into the world. | |
After her words, the possibility of brand establishment on Wan-Wan's work may be increased in the future for the global marketing in comic world.
