Kho Wang Gie

Kho Wang Gie, who was from Djakarta, was the first oriental artist from the Dutch Indies to make a comic strip. His creation 'Put On', about a Chinese middle-class man, first appeared in the newspaper Sin Po in 1931, and was continued for thirty years. Soon after Kho Wang Gie's first attempt, other artists emerged in the field, such as Abdulsalam and Nasrun As.
