Marvin is a daily newspaper comic strip created by cartoonist Tom Armstrong and distributed in the U.S. by Hearst's King Features Syndicate. It debuted in 1982. It revolves around the life and times of a young baby boy named Marvin, his father and mother Jeff and Jenny Miller and their dog Bitsy. Other characters include Megan, Marvin's cousin; Janet, her mother and Jenny's sister (she and her husband were divorced); Ming Ming, Janet's adoptive daughter from China; and Marvin's grandmother. In 2005, Marvin guest starred in the comic strip Blondie for their 75th anniversary.
Creator Tom Armstrong has made what some fans consider not so subtle changes to the strip's character design including changes to the faces and even changing the size of the characters' noses, In one e-mail to a fan Armstrong explains why he made these changes.
There was also an earlier strip by the same name, which was created by Pat Moran and syndicated in 1973.
