Welcome to www.houseofcheah.com


It has been more than 20 years and I’m bringing back Singapore’s favourite middle class cartoon family, The House of Lim.
Get up to speed with who is doing what and what is done to whom now in my Patreon page, https://www.patreon.com/houseofcheah and enjoy more laughs.



Hi! This year  I’m introducing Saltie to Singapore where the croc meets a local boy named Benny.
Together, they travel around the island in the waterways, reservoirs, jungle trails and along the coastline
to meet the other residents in a funny and witty tour of the wild side of this Little Red Dot.

As this will be an ongoing series for an eventual full colour comic book, I welcome sponsors and promoters
who want to join in the fun.

Left with no choice, the star-crossed lovers elope to the sea but the arrival of the British colonialists will affect the future of the Malay Peninsula and change their lives forever.

As the volume of Cheah's works is relatively high, this site showcases only a fraction of it. He will try to update it and add more when he has the time. If you remember a strip or drawing that he's done before and wish to see it again, email him at sinann@houseofcheah.com
