}}Ching Chow was an American one-panel cartoon that was created by Sidney Smith and Stanley Link.[1] It first appeared on January 20, 1927,[1] and ran for at least 50 years, under a variety of different creators. It was distributed by the Chicago Tribune / New York Daily News Syndicate.[2] The title character was a stereotypical Chinese man with slanty eyes and a big, toothy grin. He offered pearls of Confucius-style wisdom, like "Beware of silent dog and still water."[3]

Publication history

Comic strip expert Don Markstein postulates that Link illustrated the strip from the beginning, with the more well-known Smith's name being attached to give the strip credibility.[2] When Smith died in 1935, Link's name was credited, until his own death in 1957. Link's former assistant Will Henry then produced the strip until it ended syndication in 1971.[2]

The strip was revived from 1975 to 1990 by the writer/illustrator team of Rocco Lotto and Will Levinson.[2] The strip was discontinued for good on June 4, 1990.

Concept

As with Charlie Chan, in later decades critics took contending views, finding that Ching Chow reinforced condescending Asian stereotypes such as an alleged incapacity to speak idiomatic English and a tradition-bound and subservient nature. As one critic wrote about Ching Chow, "It wasn’t as much a strip as it was a daily fortune cookie."[4]

In later years, Ching Chow was viewed by many as a secret tip sheet for playing the numbers — the panel would appear far in the back pages of the New York Daily News. In a 1978 Village Voice article, one believer is quoted as saying, "Why you think Ching Chow has been in the newspaper all these years? Because it's funny? Hah, hah."[5][6][7]
