Beginning June 25th a new character named “Ming Ming” will debut in Tom Armstrong’s “Marvin” feature. According to the marketing flyer created by King Features, Ming Ming is Marvin’s new cousin – adopted from China.  Marvin’s aunt, Janet, wanting another baby decides to fly to China to adopt the child who thinks she’s being abducted by an alien and taken to the planet “America.”

Marvin was launched in 1982 and appears in 380 newspapers around the world.

Hi,
We cut the cartoon out of Sunday’s (October 29th, 2006, Macomb Daily) page which features Marvin’s, Ming Ming. My Wife and I are about half-way through the Chinese adoption process, which will hopefully priveledge us with a beautiful Baby Girl from China. Ming Ming is an inspirational character for us and the Halloween toon is now hanging on our fridge. Thanks for the lift!
