ince it was launched over a year ago on 14 February 2020, the Chronicles has been engaging an audience with some humour and encouragement, seeing readers through difficult and unsettling months after the coronavirus arrived in Singapore.

The Chronicles took a break after releasing the 100th comic strip on 6 October 2020 and has since returned on 14 December 2020, to accompany readers through Singapore’s largest vaccination programme with the latest updates and developments.
