Comics love

For the past three years, a widely read comic strip on the Princess Margaret Hospital (PMH) website has been helping to promote high standards of cleaning hygiene. Less well known, however, is that the artist and creator of the main character is the daughter of a colleague from PMH’s Infectious Diseases Centre. After coming up with the cleanliness comic idea, Ho Kai-man asked his daughter Constance to voluntarily turn his concept into a creative reality. With the need for father and daughter to discuss the content of each new comic strip, Constance has learnt more about her father’s job and this has brought the pair closer together.

Ho Kai-man (left) says his daughter Constance has become more mature as a result of her commitment to producing the comic strip. He notes that the experience has also improved her ability to communicate effectively with a diverse range of people.
