McMug is a cartoon pig character created over ten years ago in Hong Kong. McMug first appeared in comics, with its creation attributed to two people - the stories by Brian Tse and the artwork by Alice Mak. There has been great success after first publication. Some people believe that the success is due to its cute appearance, but even more think that it is due to the charming nature of the story.

"The McMug comics is sometimes childish, sometimes deep (more often both childish and deep). This may be the reason why McMug attracts readers ranging from kindergarten children to university professors and readers of different ages and backgrounds. "

(From the preface of the McMug Comics Sampler)
