Neither Here Nor There is a collection of cartoons drawn by Chao and posted on this Instagram between 2019 and 2025, each appearing for mere seconds on the scrolling feed of his followers. For the technologically savvy, you can still find them there (@doodlesinabox). But for those who prefer their cartoons the old-fashioned way, or those looking to expand their bathroom collection, this one’s for you.
“Clever in the way Gary Larson’s cartoons hit you obliquely, Neither Here Nor There is all here, and all wit. And Chaos does it superbly.”
—Felix Cheong, Poet & Graphic Novelist

“Chao is a keen observer of current affairs and he has a knack for conveying important messages in one panel.”
—Quek Hong Shin, Children’s Author & Illustrator

“Chao creates cartoons that remind us that we can find joy in simple things around us.”
—Alan Bay, Illustrator & Comic Artist

“I found his humour so intelligent, and to capture it all in one single frame is just pure talent.”
—Lianne Ong, Children’s Author
Chao is a cartoonist, children’s book illustrator, video producer and media educator living in Singapore. He is also a stay-home-dad who loves to read, cook and strum the ukulele. You can see his cartoons on Instagram @doodlesinabox.
