In 1979, the autobiographical graphic novel The Kampung Boy was published. The story of a young Malay boy's childhood in a kampung (village) proved to be a commercial and critical success, establishing its author—Lat—as the most renowned cartoonist in Malaysia. The Kampung Boy's success prompted Lat to consider using other media to reach out to the masses.
