Could an innocent act of licking a rusty handrail to find out its taste inspire a comic series? It did for veteran artist Kelvin Chan. Together with his former colleague, Mrs Lina Lewis, the pair created an online comic series titled Rusty Rail By Ah Chan, which...

"Rusty Rail has been sitting around for 10 years. Before I get too old to do stuff, why not do it now?" said Mr Chan, who is also a former infographics journalist with The New Paper.Mrs Lewis, 42, added:"On a more serious note, we noticed a gap in the local comic scene and the scattered documentation of life in the 80s and 90s.

Starting today, a comic strip will be uploaded on the RustyRailSG Facebook and Instagram page every Monday morning, except for Aug 10. The strip will be released on National Day itself. Members of the public will be invited on a later date to share what it was like to grow up in Singapore in the 80s and 90s. The stories will then be included in a print publication, and the story of the month will be turned into a comic strip in the issue.

Said Mrs Lewis:"With the pandemic beating on the world mercilessly, we all can do with a little pick-me-up."
