The character is created to satirise Asian cultures in particularly backward conservatism, hubris, showing-off attitude, ingratitude, rashness, irresponsibility, weak-will, and even delusion. Most of the time, he is depicted as a person who keeps living in the past in the ever-changing and brutally unfair world where money is the absolute power. To highlight this, Q is depicted in many short stories to mostly get his rewards for being a good person in the form of being backstabbed; wrongfully accused of wrongdoings as well as being hated for no apparent reason. Kelvin Chan of the ''[[South China Morning Post]]'' described Q as "eccentric".<ref>{{cite web|last=Chan|first=Kelvin|url=https://www.scmp.com/article/435929/boost-urged-digital-entertainment-sector|title=Boost urged for digital entertainment sector|newspaper=[[South China Morning Post]]|date=2003-11-26|accessdate=2023-06-08}}</ref> Supporting characters include: *Big Potato ({{zh|first=j|c=大番薯|p=Dà Fānshǔ|j=daai6 faan1 syu2|labels=no}}) Old Master Q's identically dressed friend with a stumpy, big-headed build. *Mr. Chin ({{zh|first=j|c=秦先生|p=Qín xiānshēng|j= Ceon4 sin1 saang1|labels=no}}), an '[[Average Joe|ordinary Joe]]' character, and good friends with Old Master Q and Potato. *Miss Chan ({{zh|first=t,j|t=陳小姐|s=陈小姐|p=Chén xiǎojiě|j= Can4 siu2 ze2|labels=no}}), Old Master Q's love interest. Vain and gold-digging, she always sees herself as the most beautiful woman alive and has a tendency to ditch Q every time she gets her hands on some rich individual. *Mr. Chiu ({{zh|first=t,j|t=老趙|s=老赵|p= Lǎo Zhào|j= Lou5 Ziu6|labels=no}}), main antagonist to Old Master Q, often pranking each other. He is often depicted as an arrogant rich individual who looks down on people, as well as being incredibly petty.
