SINGAPORE - Award-winning Singaporean cartoonist Sonny Liew has dealt with Singapore's political history, dementia and depression in his works. Now, he turns his hand to an unexpected new subject: antibiotics.

His next comic, The Antibiotic Tales, is a collaboration with infectious diseases expert Hsu Li Yang and aims to explain antimicrobial resistance - the ability of microbes to evolve and resist the drugs used to kill them - to the lay reader.
