Abstract

This chapter surveys the most important girls’ comics in Hong Kong comics history, Theresa Lee Wai-chun’s Sapsaam Dim (in Cantonese Chinese), or 13-Dot Cartoon, which debuted in 1966. As a comic icon and a legendary figure, Lee and her character, Sapsaam Dim, have been the darlings of the Hong Kong mass media. By examining their appearances in print media throughout a fifty-year timespan (1966–2016), I decode the messages of changing women’s identities in Hong Kong. Through my analysis of print media materials, this survey uncovers a process of negotiating women’s identities, particularly breaking away from the stereotypical image of a homemaker, within a patriarchal society.

All translations from Chinese materials are the author own unless otherwise stated. For the comic title in Chinese, Sapsaam Dim, I have used the Cantonese Romanization as to reflect the major speech that is used daily in Hong Kong. This chapter is based on a lecture presented at the Women’s Manga Research Project & Hong Kong Arts Centre Joint International Symposium at the Hong Kong Comix Home Base in March 2014, and revised from an article published in the International Journal of Comic Art, Vol. 16(2): 582–596.
