AN exhibition celebrating the iconic comic strip “Old Master Q” (《老夫子》) has opened at Studio City Macao, marking six decades of one of the Chinese-speaking world’s most beloved cartoon series. The “Old Master Q 60th Anniversary Fantastic Journey – Macao Special Exhibition” invites visitors to step into the whimsical world of these cherished characters through themed displays, interactive installations, photo opportunities, a pop-up store, and specially curated comic-inspired menu items.

Spanning key areas of Studio City Macao, this special exhibition brings “Old Master Q”’s classic four-panel strips to life through immersive, interactive scenes. Once a fond memory for generations of readers, the characters now leap vividly from the page, reimagined as contemporary icons and beloved old friends for a new generation to discover.

The journey begins at the “Time Machine Manuscript Collection,” where rare pre-publication prototype manuscripts and vintage artist tools trace the evolution of “Old Master Q” from its earliest sketches to its iconic final form. The “Old Master Q Newsstand and Café” invites visitors to relive the nostalgic joy of reading comics while savoring delicious food. The experience continues with “Fantastic Crossover 321,” an interactive installation that allows guests to step into the role of comic characters and create their own unique four-panel comic strip photo.

At “Classic Comic Lane,” visitors venture into an immersive environment inspired by Macao’s local culture, where “Old Master Q” is reimagined through a playful comic lens for the “Live the Moment Macao” experience. The exhibition then expands into the realm of contemporary art at “60 Years, 60 Crossovers,” showcasing a diverse convergence of styles — from original black-and-white strips to vibrant pop art and modern trend collaborations. To conclude the adventure, the interactive “Travel Through Old Master Q” photo experience invites guests to choose different characters and settings, placing themselves directly inside the iconic comic universe.

Themed experiences extend throughout Studio City beyond the exhibition proper. The “Daydreamer Tram” photo installation features figures of Old Master Q, Big Potato, and Mr. Chin that invite guest interaction. The Old Master Q pop-up store launches simultaneously, showcasing a curated selection of official merchandise. This integration also extends to culinary offerings: Joyride Diner, Spice Road, and Louvre Pastry & Deli have introduced themed menus infused with “Old Master Q” elements, providing guests a comprehensive, multi-sensory journey through this beloved comic universe.
