1) When did you draw Rules? How old were you then? Rules was drawn in 1999. I’m about 22-year-old then. It is for a Youth For Christ evangelistic sports camp. The current version is a “remake” that I did about 2 years ago. I redesigned the characters. Story and panels remain the same. 2) Was it your first attempt at using your illustrative skill to reach out to the masses? I think Rules is my second evangelistic comic. 3) What inspires you to produce this comic? It’s meant to be used in an evangelistic sports camp, so I thought of drawing something related to sports. Every sport has rules, just as in our lives. That’s the link to the gospel. And to make it more interesting, I thought of using unusual characters to play a familiar sport. Initially, I wanted to draw robots playing basketball. But the ideas evolve and it became ancient Chinese characters with “Kung Fu” (martial arts).
