Joseph Wong Chak and his father, Alphonso Wong Kar-Hei seem to/might be mixed up together. Alphonso Wong is the creator of Master Q/Cute. Joseph Wong is his son. I added the alias Alfonso Wong Kar-hei temporarily for informational purposes.

From an article in SCMP:
Famed Hong Kong caricaturist Joseph Wong Chak is calling young and talented artists to help him continue his comedic legacy, as he celebrates the 50th anniversary of his well-loved Old Master Q series...
Created in 1962 by Wong's father, Alfonso Wong Kar-hei, the ongoing adventures of lead character Old Master Q and his sidekick Big Potato have turned into the most enduring Chinese comic series owing to their funny misadventures and jokes.


To add to the confusion, it seems Alphonso used son's name Wong Chak as a pseudonym. So, not sure if our Wong Chak credits are Alfonso's or son, Joseph's.

Added Alphonso Wong Kar-Hei for now

I do not think both father and son were born the same year.

That's true, I added both of the DOBs; Son was born in 1950. It's confusing since the elder used the younger's name as an alias, Only an expert would be able to sort it out. Just thought it was interesting trivia. Probably the credits are all accurate. Feel free to ignore. :mrgreen:
