DISPUTE ON PLAGIARISM Some PRC cartoonists and readers claim that the idea of Old Master Q was actually created by Peng Di (朋弟) in the late 1930's and not Alfonso Wong. They allege that the cartoons first appeared in the newspapers and magazines in Peking and Tientsin . The character created by Peng Di resembled Old Master Q which is currently being copyright by WangZ Inc. The character by Peng Di wore similar clothing and had a matching personality to Old Master Q. A writer from Tientsin published a book in 2001 containing samples of work by Peng Di, which displayed the resemblance between Peng Di and Alfonso Wong's works. The result of this dispute remains unclear as WangZ Inc. has denied all plagiarism accusations, while a small number of mostly PRC cartoonists and readers insist that Peng Di's ideas were stolen by Alfonso Wong.
