This magazine has both comedy and soap opera elements in it. The magazine comic series resembles soap operas in that its story is a continuous one. Every week, the newest publication of Memin begins where the last publication had left off. In addition, because of the elements involved in the comic magazine's story, such as poverty, parental abandonment, death and alcoholism, often there are dramatic moments in the magazine as well.

This Memín Pinguín debuts in 1943 as part of the kid magazine, Pepin, to compose 372 weekly episodes drawn in sepia that was reedited in its full in 1952, then in 1963 (now drawn by Sixto Valencia Burgos) and in 1988, 2000 and 2005 in full color. Sadly the "homage" version released in 2005 were not well appreciated due to bad drawning as long as Valencia Burgos has retired at the time.

As his sister publication, "Lagrimas, Risas y Amor", this

well.

The 1988 version was the blank of controversies due to its adult oriented story lines in a kid magazine, specially one involving Memin renouncing Catholicism due to a misunderstanding provoked by a bully. In 2005 it was again the blank of controversy when the SEPOMEX released postal stamps involving Memin and other popular Mexican comic characters, being to lead to have African American groups to denounce the comic.



* Main/HereWeGoAgain : The last arc of Memin Pinguin relates to the end of the academic year, this leads to Memin and his gang to remember his adventures while walking home, during that they find a fortune teller who, instead of telling them their future, he decides to show them how they met in his crystal ball, sending the characters (and the reader) back exactly to the very first scene of the first number. The second number of the '80s shows Memin relating the highlights of the first number while the gang is seeing the crystal ball.

* Main/DreamEpisode : Memin Pinguin had two:
** One has Memin dreaming that he and his gang are The Three Musketeers trying to save Paris from a famine made by the incorrect decisions of the king. In some sort, the dream was mean to relax Memin after his intervention in a The Three Musketeers school representation earlier on ends in disaster.
** Another has Memin dreaming that he and Ernestillo are in XIX Century´s China, curiously a very long arc for a dream.
