"We will Walk Together"

Hong Kong artist Kit Man released this comic strips after Apple Daily, a Hong Kong newspaper with a pro-democracy stance, was raided by 200 police on August 10, 2020.

On the same day, police arrested 10 people including pro-democracy activist Agnes Chow Apple Daily's founder Jimmy Lai, his two sons, Next Media's CEO and COO, on suspicion of national security law infringement.

Despite the raid and arrest, Apple Daily staff continued to bring the 11 August edition to print, while Hongkongers queued up in front of many newspaper stalls and convenience stores to buy the newspaper as they still can to show support to a newspaper that has strived to speak the voice of the local.

Hong Kong Artist Ar To: "Share, Like and Subscribe, Not just for a day. Support all media that are willing to speak up"

Artist Ar To released a new comic depicting how the buying of apples has caused a law enforcement figure to hoist a purple warning flag. In Hong Kong, the police carry a flag as such to warn civilians of their potential violation of the national security law.

Meanwhile, the fruit diversity in the market portrayed by Ar To is extinguishing. Toward the end of the comic, there are only apples and some unknown canned containers with the Communist Party's logo on it.

Ar To wrote in his post:

"Share, Like and Subscribe, Not just for a day. Support all media that are willing to speak up. This is a war of getting back our voice."

A Conversation between 'Education', 'News', 'Law': "Trust the Government?"

Fig. 1
Education (in blue head cover) says to News (in grey head cover), “So long as we listen and obey…”

Fig. 2
Leaning in closer to News, Education continues, “We will be granted with certain freedoms.”

Fig. 3
Turning to Law (with head injuries), Education keeps saying, “Because if we die, Hong Kong will die with us. They won't do such a foolish thing.”

Fig. 4
The lion wearing a 0005 red shirt bitterly echoes with tears in its eyes, “You’re right … Who would be as foolish … (as me)?!”
